How big is the surface disinfectant market? ›

The global surface disinfectant market size was estimated at USD 5.49 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 5.85 billion in 2023.

Hypochlorites, the most widely used of the chlorine disinfectants, are available as liquid (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) or solid (e.g., calcium hypochlorite).

There are three levels of disinfection: high, intermediate, and low. High-level disinfectants, such as glutaraldehyde, are used as chemical sterilants and should never be used on environmental surfaces.

Disinfect noncritical surfaces with an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant according to the label's safety precautions and use directions. Most EPA-registered hospital disinfectants have a label contact time of 10 minutes.

Never use disinfectants or disinfectant wipes on your skin. Instead, wash with soap and water. You can also use hand sanitizer on your hands. Children should NEVER clean surfaces with sanitizers or disinfectants.

You have to remember that cleaning and disinfecting aren't the same thing, and know how, what -- and when -- to do both. “Cleaning removes dirt and impurities from surfaces,” says Khanya Brann, a spokesperson for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “Disinfecting kills germs.”

Disinfectants and antiseptics are many active chemical compounds called biocides, which can fight microorganisms on nonliving surfaces and human skin. [1] These biocides, such as alcohol, iodine, and chlorine, have been used for years.

Bleach is a strong and effective disinfectant – its active ingredient sodium hypochlorite is effective in killing bacteria, fungi and viruses, including influenza virus – but it is easily inactivated by organic material. Diluted household bleach disinfects within 10–60 minutes contact time (see Table G.

Peracetic acid-based solutions are sporicidal, fungicidal, bactericidal and virucidal. They are generally more potent disinfectants than hydrogen peroxide. Peracetic acid-based solutions are used to disinfect medical devices, hemodialyzers and endoscopes.

Isopropyl alcohol, particularly in solutions between 60% and 90% alcohol with 10 – 40% purified water, is rapidly antimicrobial against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Once alcohol concentrations drop below 50%, usefulness for disinfection drops sharply.

Is isopropyl alcohol a high-level disinfectant? ›

Fourth, isopropyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol have been excluded as high-level disinfectants ¹⁵ because of their inability to inactivate bacterial spores and because of the inability of isopropyl alcohol to inactivate hydrophilic viruses (i.e., poliovirus, coxsackie virus).

High-level disinfection involves using disinfectants that are capable of eliminating all microorganisms (except for a small number of bacterial spores) and inactivating any viruses present on a used piece of medical equipment.

High-level disinfection is accomplished with powerful, sporicidal chemicals (e.g., glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, and hydrogen peroxide) that are not appropriate for use on housekeeping surfaces. These liquid chemical sterilants/high-level disinfectants are highly toxic.

You can buy rubbing alcohol with a concentration of 70% or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Even though you may think the higher concentration is more effective, experts say 70% is actually better for disinfecting. It has more water, which helps it to dissolve more slowly, penetrate cells, and kill bacteria.

Disinfecting can kill harmful germs that remain on surfaces after cleaning. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, disinfecting can further lower the risk of spreading disease.
