Getting to know your disinfectants. For general and high-risk environments.

There are many types of disinfectants available in the marketplace today. Whilst many are similar in what they offer, it is important to choose the products that best meets your needs.

It is important to check their ARTG listing which verifies what they can claim and the MSDS to ensure suitability to your environment.

Another factor to consider is the different formats the products come in to ensure that you are minimising cross-over of products which can reduce their effectiveness.

Always check required kill times, whether they work in dirty conditions and dilutions as these may vary greatly from product to product.

Refer to the chart demonstrating the different types of products available.
