Disinfectants for maintaining hygiene standards
In a world where hygiene is becoming increasingly important, disinfectants are indispensable companions for everyday life. Whether in medical facilities, offices, schools, or at home – the proper use of disinfectants plays a crucial role in the prevention of infectious diseases. By effectively eliminating pathogenic germs on surfaces and hands, they are a fundamental component for our health and safety. Buying disinfectants is therefore a proactive measure to prevent the spread of diseases and create a clean, healthy environment.
Importance of Choosing the Right Disinfectants
When selecting a disinfectant, it is important to choose the right product for the specific application area. Hand disinfectants are gentle on the skin, especially for wound disinfection, and are simultaneously effective against bacteria and viruses. Surface disinfectants, on the other hand, are more concentrated and thus serve the cleaning of larger surfaces. Products containing ethanol are particularly effective because this alcohol has a broad spectrum of action and works faster. For special requirements, such as combating noroviruses, you should choose a disinfectant with specific effectiveness against viruses. Which disinfectants should be used for which application can be found in the product information or by inquiring with our customer service. Especially in the field of patient care, caution is advised in instrument disinfection. Various instruments and accessories are treated with special disinfectants to ensure safe handling for the patient. For surfaces of all kinds, disinfection wipes are also suitable for quick and safe use.
Choosing the Right Disinfectant
The choice of the appropriate disinfectant depends heavily on the area of application:
- Hand disinfectants: These products are specially developed for direct skin contact and combine high effectiveness against bacteria and viruses with nurturing properties to protect the skin from drying out.
- Wound disinfectants: They are specially developed to support the cleaning and disinfection of wounds, thus reducing the risk of infection. The main features of wound disinfectants include their rapid action and efficiency in eliminating harmful microorganisms. The special wound disinfectants are gentle on the skin and suitable for daily use on small cuts, abrasions, and minor burns.
- Surface disinfectants: Ideal for disinfecting surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, or public areas. They are more concentrated and offer long-lasting action against a wide range of germs.
- Special Requirements: For particularly critical areas, such as in patient care or food processing, we offer disinfectants with specific active ingredients and formulations that meet high demands.
- Instrument disinfectant: For use in patient care, disinfectants for instruments and aids are essential. It is important to consider material compatibility, exposure time, and spectrum of action.
Important purchase criteria: What should you consider when buying disinfectants?
When buying disinfectants, there are some essential points that should be taken into account to ensure that the selected product meets the requirements:
- Active ingredients: The effectiveness of a disinfectant depends largely on the active ingredients it contains. Frequently used substances are ethanol, isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide and chlorhexidine. Each of these substances has different properties and areas of application.
- 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.
- compatibility: Check the material and skin compatibility of the disinfectant. Especially with frequent use, it is important that the product is gentle on the skin and does not attack sensitive materials.
