disinfectants

Disinfectants are chemical substances used to destroy or inactivate harmful germs, bacteria, viruses, and fungi on surfaces. They play a crucial role in maintaining hygiene, especially in healthcare settings and households. Common disinfectants include bleach, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike regular cleaners, which may only remove dirt, disinfectants specifically target pathogens to reduce the risk of infections. It’s important to use them according to instructions for effectiveness and safety, as some can be harsh on skin or surfaces. Proper ventilation and protective gear may be necessary when handling strong disinfectants.
