Disinfection is a set of measures to disinfect premises for various purposes where people or animals are kept for a long time. Its purpose is to destroy infectious agents and destroy toxins on environmental objects to prevent them from getting on the skin or mucous membranes. Therefore, it is extremely important to use high-quality disinfectants for cleaning premises, handling animals and food products. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to regularly carry out the necessary measures using the appropriate disinfectants.
Types of disinfectants
In order to carry out high-quality disinfection cleaning of various types of premises, it is necessary to choose the type of product that is most suitable for the type of specific premises and surfaces to be treated. Also, disinfectants should be suitable for the type of activity of the industrial enterprise or organisation, farm or livestock farm.
For example, disinfectants are used for rooms and surfaces:
- Universal. These are chemicals that effectively destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens) on various surfaces and materials. They can be used in households, businesses, medical institutions, and agriculture. Such disinfectants, based on, for example, ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, have a wide range of effects. This allows them to be used to treat various types of surfaces and materials.
- Antibacterial disinfectants. These are substances, such as chlorhexidine, that are designed to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, including pathogenic (disease-causing) and opportunistic bacteria that can cause disease, on various surfaces, in the air or in water. Antibacterial agents should be purchased for the treatment of medical equipment, surfaces in medical institutions, and household surfaces that may be contaminated with bacteria.
- Cleaning products with a disinfectant effect. These include cleaning and detergent disinfectants that, in addition to their main function (removal of dirt, dust and stains), have the ability to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. They combine the properties of disinfectants and detergents to clean surfaces and keep them hygienic.
The food industry and agriculture use specific disinfectants and solutions. For example, there are special disinfectants and detergents for eggs that contain active ingredients that are safe for food. In addition, detergents are used to remove organic contaminants, dirt, feed residues, manure and other substances from equipment, inventory and surfaces. Among them are alkaline (based on sodium and potassium salts), acidic detergents, and enzyme-based products. There are also disinfectant liquids for the destruction of pathogens based on chlorine and iodine. Alcohol disinfectants and oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, ozone) are also used.
For livestock and farms, you should also buy disinfectants designed specifically for such enterprises. For example, when treating milking equipment, products are used that do not leave harmful residues and do not pose a danger to livestock. In this case, it will be useful to buy both detergents and disinfectants based on iodine or hydrogen peroxide. The industry produces disinfectants for indoor cleaning, as well as for the treatment of cages, farms and hatcheries in poultry farming. Particular attention is paid to the processing of poultry products, for which special egg wash products are used.
How to choose a disinfectant

Depending on the activities that are planned to be carried out, you can choose, for example, from liquid products, powders or sprays. In order for the disinfectant to perform its function of cleaning and disinfecting premises and surfaces to the fullest extent possible, you should pay attention to the following when choosing and purchasing it:
- composition and safety - the products must be safe for animal and human health and not damage equipment;
- effectiveness against specific pathogens - if the farm has problems with certain diseases, you can choose products that effectively fight these pathogens;
- Compatibility with materials - equipment is made of different materials (plastic, rubber, stainless steel), and each of them may require different products.
In addition, when choosing disinfectants, you need to pay attention not only to prices, but also to study the instructions to find out whether the product is suitable for specific needs - cleaning, disinfecting animals or treating equipment.
