For effective surface disinfection, it is necessary to use the right products correctly. The following recommendations apply to private and public use, not to clinics, doctor's offices or other medical facilities.
What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
expand_moreCleaning means removing visible dirt. A cleaned surface or object can, however, be invisibly populated by germs such as viruses, bacteria or fungi, although, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), cleaning can already reduce the concentration of pathogens on an area by 50% -80%. However, this is only possible if the cleaning water, sponges and cloths are changed regularly so that germs are not transferred from one area to another.
With surface disinfection, the concentration of germs can be reduced significantly more, namely by 84% -99.9%. However, complete sterility is not achieved even in this case. The aim is to eliminate the risk of infection from the disinfected surface.
Recommendation for surface disinfection during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic
expand_moreDuring the SARS-CoV2 pandemic (coronavirus pandemic), simple cleaning with common detergents such as universal cleaner in domestic and public areas. Surface disinfection outside of hospitals or areas where the presence of sick people has been demonstrated is not recommended.
An exception is when a sick person is being treated at home. Disinfection should therefore best be done with products like ours Bacty-stop or Bacty-fix.
Which disinfectant helps against the new coronavirus?
expand_moreThe so-called “limited virucidal” disinfectant helps against the coronavirus SARS-CoV2. Germs such as Norovirus, due to their external structure, require disinfectants with the designation “limited virucidal PLUS”. Products with an “antibacterial” effect only remove bacteria but not fungi or viruses such as the coronavirus.
How to properly disinfect surfaces
expand_moreFirst, read the instructions for use of the disinfectant to make sure you are using it correctly. When disinfecting surfaces, always wear gloves to protect your skin from irritation, allergies or even burns. Disposable gloves made of vinyl, natural rubber or natural rubber latex should never be used for prolonged work with disinfectants, as they will be damaged and then become porous.
During disinfection, it is absolutely necessary to "wet" the surface, "wet-mist" cleaning alone is not effective enough. Let the disinfectant dry completely.
Avoiding mistakes in surface disinfection
expand_moreNever use a disinfectant solution with a cloth or tissue that must be soaked over and over again. This will cause various pathogens to accumulate within the solution, which can multiply or even develop resistance.
If you want to use reusable cloths, make sure they are machine washable at at least 60°C.
Not all surface disinfectants are suitable for all surfaces, because they can attack them and even render them unusable. Therefore, you should pay attention to all electronic devices and the surfaces of smartphones, tablets or laptops. Smartphones and tablets should be kept germ-free using Bacty-fix, while for the skin of the hands apply the delicate antibacterial anti-bact+.
For health reasons, use spray disinfection with caution.
expand_moreDisinfectants for spraying have the disadvantage that they can be inhaled during application. This can cause irritation, allergies or even shortness of breath. It is therefore advisable, if possible, to forgo spray disinfectants when disinfecting surfaces.
If this cannot be avoided because, for example, the area is difficult to reach, then spray the product sufficiently and allow the disinfectant to act as specified on the packaging (usually about 20 – 30 seconds). Only after this exposure time should the surface be cleaned, since germs can only be reliably reduced by mechanical friction.
