商业消毒剂的类型是什么？利弊[视频]

Illness-causing germs, also known as pathogens, are easily spread throughout your facility. Routine disinfection is themost effective way尽量减少细菌的蔓延。

But, you need the right disinfectant to make sure that the germs (bacteria and viruses) on surfaces throughout your building are being killed.

凭借正确的消毒剂，您将确保设施清洁和乘员健康和安全。

There are several types of chemical disinfectants to choose from. Given that, it's important to understand how they work and what the pros and cons of each are.

化学消毒剂在diff各不相同erent pathogens that they target and kill. There are also other factors to consider when choosing the best chemical disinfectant for your facility.

The best disinfectant for you will not only be effective at killing the germs and bacteria that put your guests at risk but also be safe to use around the surfaces and people in your building.

下面，我们将审查不同类型的化学消毒剂及其优缺点，因此您可以为您的设施挑选正确的化学性消毒剂。

商业消毒剂：什么是不同类型的？

What is a Commercial Disinfectant?

Disinfectants kill 100% of the germs and bacteria listed on the manufacturer’s label when used properly.

To be considered a commercial grade disinfectant, it must be tested and registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

EPA注册消毒剂经历了广泛的测试，以衡量其对产品标签上列出的细菌和细菌的有效性。

什么是不同类型的商业消毒剂？

There are 6 popular chemical ingredients that are commonly used in commercial disinfectant products.

普通的化学消毒成分是：

QUATS.
Iodophors
次氯化物
过氧化物
Phenolics
Alcohols

这些不同的成分中的每一个都具有独特的特性。我们将审查消毒剂产品中使用的不同化学品，以帮助您更好地了解哪些是您的设施局势的最佳选择。

QUATS.

QUATS., or quaternary ammonium compounds, are very commonly used in disinfecting solutions because they’re highly effective against a wide range of germs and bacteria.

Some disinfectants that contain quats can be used as cleaner/disinfectants, which means they can be used to complete 1-step disinfection.

优点

Quat基消毒剂通常是无味的，无腐蚀性，并且不会弄脏表面。

If your facility is looking for an environmentally friendly disinfectant, quats are biodegradable, though they may be toxic to marine animals.

Quat-based disinfectants are popularly used for disinfection in hospitals and institutions because they’re a low-cost option.

缺点

The efficacy of quat-based disinfectants is affected by the number of soils that are present on a surface. As mentioned, some quat-based disinfectants may be used as a cleaner/disinfectant, however, if a surface is heavily soiled, the effectiveness of the disinfectant will be reduced.

If quats are used with the wrong cleaning method or cloth type, the efficacy of the disinfectant may be reduced as well. This is known as quat-binding.

Quat binding当Quats被用于应用它们的布料吸收时发生。这可能是危险的，因为消毒剂不再能够在表面上杀死细菌，导致胚芽蔓延增加。

Quat-based disinfectants should only be used with non-woven or disposable cloths. Some disposable single-use microfiber cloths may also eliminate the risk of quat-binding.

Using the spray and wipe method can also further eliminate the chances of quat binding during surface disinfection.

Iodophors

Iodophors are a combination of iodine and a carrier detergent. In order to use an iodophor-based disinfectant, the solution must be diluted.

基于碘的消毒剂最常用于医疗设施，以消毒某些类型的医疗设备，如血液培养瓶，水疗罐和温度计。

一些基于碘的消毒剂可以用作1步消毒过程中的清洁/消毒剂。

优点

碘蛋白的一个优点是它们对硬水的存在没有负面影响。这使得它们可用于某些无法获得软水的设施。

碘飞蛋白通过穿透细胞壁容易杀死细菌和细菌。

缺点

当用作消毒剂时，碘飞蛋白可以染色表面，更常见的塑料。这意味着基于碘的消毒剂不应用于容易染色的塑料表面或表面。

碘代岛的消毒剂通常比其他消毒剂类型更昂贵。

次氯化物

Clorox杀菌漂白剂次氯酸盐的消毒剂对多种类型的细菌和细菌非常有效。

The most common hypochlorite disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which is more commonly known as household bleach.

沪元pochlorite-based disinfectants are beneficial for many different facility types.

如果您要使用基于次氯酸盐的消毒剂，应始终与两步清洗和消毒过程一起使用。次氯化物没有任何清洁功率，因此在施加之前必须清洁表面。

优点

当它被正确使用时，次氯酸盐可以是强效的结核亚胺试剂。结核亚胺意味着消毒剂对结核病有效。

次氯化物are also safe for use on food prep and other foodservice surfaces, given that the proper dilution ratio is used.

Sodium Hypochlorite is a low-cost option for disinfection, so it can be used by a variety of facility types.

缺点

次氯化物, though effective at killing and removing germs and bacteria from a surface, are easily affected by the presence of soils. This means that if there are soils present on a surface, a hypochlorite-based disinfectant will not be able to effectively kill germs.

When used as a disinfectant, your staff must take the proper precautions. Hypochlorites can give off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have a negative effect on the lungs and may cause a reaction when it comes in contact with the skin and eyes.

沪元pochlorite-based disinfectants are corrosive. When used repeatedly on a surface, the disinfectant chemical may start to eat away at surfaces.

过氧化物

Spartan Clean by Peroxy 过氧化物-based disinfectants are fairly new to having U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval.

当用于消毒剂时，过氧化物基化学消毒剂具有杀菌剂，杀菌和生命性质，使其成为强大的消毒剂。

优点

Disinfectants that have peroxide as an active ingredient are quicker at killing germs than traditional disinfectants.

过氧化物-based disinfectants are sustainable because they break down into natural elements, which makes them good for use in facilities with sustainability goals.

缺点

In some applications, like during floor disinfection, the peroxide chemical can lead to surface etching. Surface etching can cause a dull floor finish appearance and require an additional floor care procedure to counteract it.

Phenolics

Phenol, which is the main ingredient in phenolic-based disinfectants, has a wide range of germ and bacteria kill claims and are tuberculocidal。

许多具有酚类作为活性成分的消毒剂可以用作清洁/消毒剂。这意味着这些消毒剂通常可以与单步消毒过程一起使用。

优点

它们还可以应用于不同设施类型的各种表面，包括医疗保健设施。

缺点

Phenols should be used with the appropriate PPE. Phenols have strong odors and can cause hazardous conditions if your janitorial staff is not properly protected.

Phenols are extremely hazardous to humans and are not used in facilities except potentially in hospital operating rooms. The majority of healthcare facilities do not use phenols because of the health hazards associated with them.

含有酚类的消毒剂也不应在儿童周围使用。在某些情况下，它们可以引起眼睛，皮肤和呼吸道的刺激。

像用过氧化物一样，酚可以损坏地板饰面。他们应该谨慎使用，以避免需要额外的地板护理和修复行动。

We do not recommend the use of phenolic-based disinfectants. There are many alternative disinfectant chemicals that are just as effective as phenolic-based disinfectants while also being safer to use.

Alcohols

Alcohol-based disinfectants commonly have ethyl and isopropyl alcohol as their active ingredient. For the best germ kill, alcohol should be used diluted since absolute alcohol is not very effective.

优点

基于酒精的消毒剂具有杀菌特征。

In addition to their germicidal properties, alcohols are also tuberculocidal, virucidal, and bactericidal, though they do not destroy bacterial spores.

含有醇的消毒剂作为活性成分的饮用剂是高效的，迅速杀死胚芽杀菌。

缺点

使用基于酒精的消毒剂的一个主要缺点是，尽管它们可以用于消毒各种表面，但它们可能会损坏一些表面。

Surfaces like shellac, plastic, and glue may be melted or damaged when they come into contact with alcohol-based chemical disinfectants.

When using an alcohol-based disinfectant, surfaces may need to be re-wet multiple times to fulfill dwell time since alcohols evaporate quickly.

Final Thoughts

The right chemical disinfectant for your facility depends on a variety of factors, including the germs that need to be killed and the surfaces being disinfected.

It’s important that you choose the right disinfectant to kill illness-causing germs that are on the surfaces in your commercial facility.
