  types of disinfectants, but there are roughly
  seven major types in use today.
• Here is a summary of the categories

1. Alcohols

• Alcohol is very effective against bacteria and
  can be easily combined with water, though fairly
  high concentrations are required when
  disinfecting wet surfaces.
• The disadvantage of using alcohols is that they
  are highly flammable and quickly evaporate.
  Furthermore, their effectiveness is limited when
  dealing with organic matter, such as blood.

2. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

• Widely used in hospitals and institutions, not so
  much for their efficacy as they are for their low
  cost and effectiveness against a wide range of
  microorganisms.
• An added benefit is that quats can be combined
  with a wide range of detergents for cleaning and
  disinfecting.

3. Phenolic Compounds

• Pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all
  particularly susceptible to phenolic compounds.
• The disadvantage is that they are extremely toxic
  and corrosive, and they frequently damage the
  surfaces being treated.

4. Chlorine Compounds

• Kills a wide variety of organisms, including
  viruses that are resistant to chlorine.
• They are frequently used to clean bodily fluids.

  quick to act. The disadvantage is that many of
  them are corrosive and difficult to handle.

5. Aldehydes

• A highly effective anti-bacterial agent, though
  they require a high part per million ratio to be
  fully effective.
• some strains of bacteria have already developed
  resistance to aldehydes, reducing their overall
  effectiveness. Furthermore, aldehydes have been
  linked to asthma and other health issues.

6. Iodophors

• Idophors are not commonly used these days,
  despite the fact that they can be used to
  disinfect some semi-critical medical equipment,
  but they stain surfaces and have an unpleasant
  odor.

7. Hydrogen Peroxide

• Although HP is relatively effective, it can be
  highly reactive when mixed with other chemicals
  or in contact with certain surfaces.
• The truth is that its utility is limited, and it
  can be hazardous if used in sufficient
  concentrations. Bottom line There are better and
  more effective alternatives.
