• Spectrum of action: Make sure that the disinfectant against the microorganisms that are relevant in your environment is effective. Some products are effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses and mushrooms, while others appear more specific.
• Certifications: To ensure that a disinfectant meets the legal requirements, it should be certified. Certifications relevant in Germany include the VAH listing and the RKI recommendation.
