Disinfection is a mandatory measure aimed at destroying pathogenic microorganisms in the environment. Regular treatment of premises helps prevent the spread of infections, reduce the risk of contamination, and ensure safe living and working conditions. Disinfection is especially relevant in public institutions, medical organizations, offices, and residential buildings.
Stages and Features of Disinfection
Before starting treatment, it’s important to determine the type of premises, the degree of contamination, and the purpose of disinfection. Based on this, a suitable method and agent are selected. For residential premises, Eurodez recommends using safe formulations without aggressive chemicals. In medical institutions, professional disinfectants with a broad spectrum of action are used. The main disinfection methods include:
- Surface treatment with sprays and solutions
- Using cold or hot fog generators
- Ultraviolet disinfection
- Aerosol disinfection using special installations
It’s crucial to follow the instructions for each product. Some agents require preliminary surface cleaning from contaminants, while others are applied directly. After treatment, the room must be ventilated. When using aerosol disinfectants, personal protective equipment should be worn to avoid inhaling active substances.
What Can Be Used for Disinfection
There are many types of disinfectants, and their selection depends on the conditions and purposes of use. Here are the main types of agents:
- Oxygen-containing: Effectively eliminate viruses and bacteria, suitable for sanitation.
- Chlorine-containing: Act quickly, used in medicine and the food industry.
- Quaternary ammonium compounds: Have a cleaning effect and do not cause irritation.
- Alcohol-based solutions: Convenient for treating small surfaces and objects.
- Hydrogen peroxide-based agents: Universal and safe, especially for treating residential premises.
When choosing a disinfectant, it’s important to consider its spectrum of action, concentration, and the possibility of use in the presence of people. For home use, safer disinfectants without a strong odor are preferable. When disinfecting premises where animals or children are present, Eurodez employees select hypoallergenic agents that have passed sanitary inspection.
