Here’s the thing: Microorganisms and bacteria are present in almost every environment on the planet. It might interest you to learn that there are about 600,000 bacteria per square inch of skin. Most of these bacteria aren’t harmful to humans. However, disease-causing organisms known as pathogens can be very deadly! The key to preventing the spread of flu, colds, and other sicknesses is by regularly disinfecting the surfaces in your homes and facility. Because there are lots of disinfectants in the market, it is of utmost importance that you know how they work and their pros and cons. This will help you make the right decision on the best way to disinfect and protect your homes and your loved ones. For starters, disinfectants are chemical agents applied to surfaces and other nonliving objects in order to destroy viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, or mildews. For a disinfectant to be recognized as effective and viable, it must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Every disinfectant contains an “active ingredient". It is this active ingredient that kills the pathogens. The active ingredient kills the pathogens by damaging or disrupting their cells. Other ingredients in the disinfectant will help the active ingredient to perform its duty. For instance, a manufacturer may add surfactants to a disinfectant formula to provide consistent wetting on a surface or to assist in cleaning. At this time, disinfectants, surface wipes, and other essential home cleaning consumables appear to be scarce. But the good news is that you can have these things easily made at home.
