About the Disinfectants heading in Yellow™

Find information regarding disinfectants under this Yellow™ heading. Disinfectants are germicidal cleansers applied on objects to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. Its regular use reduces the likelihood of diseases and infections. Disinfectants should generally be distinguished from antibiotics that destroy micro-organisms within the body, and from antiseptics, which destroy micro-organisms on living tissue. There is a range of disinfectants available in the market, some of which are more potent than the others. Disinfectants should be used carefully as they can sometimes be harmful for humans and animals.

Disinfectants are used for housekeeping and laundry purposes. They serve as cleaning solutions for food processing, restaurant keeping, kitchen and floor maintenance. By far the most cost-effective and most popular home disinfectant is the commonly used chlorine bleach. It is effective against a large range of germs and is wxtremely effective against virus and bacteria at room temperature. On the other hand, it is caustic in nature, especially at high concentrations. Where one does not want to risk the corrosive effects of bleach, alcohol-based disinfectants are reasonably inexpensive and quite safe. The great drawback to them is their rapid evaporation; sometimes effective disinfection can be obtained only by immersing an object in the alcohol.

Examples of disinfectants are insect sprays, degreasers, bleaching agents, laundry detergents, fabric conditioners, stain removers, and window cleaners. Most industries and all homes and establishments make use of several types of disinfectants. There is a variety of disinfectants available and you can choose the one as per your requirement.
