Misunderstanding 1: Add disinfectant to sterilize when washing clothes and tableware

Disinfection of household daily necessities does not require the use of disinfectants, and can also be used for disinfection using conventional methods. Ultraviolet light exposure is one of the best methods of disinfection. In the fine weather, taking the quilt to the sun to dry, can play a certain bactericidal effect. Washing clothes with laundry detergent can also play a role in sterilization. Of course, some laundry detergents and soaps contain phenolic disinfectants, and the sterilization effect is more precise. Tableware can be sterilized by boiling in boiling water for 30 minutes.

Myth 2: Spray disinfectant to disinfect indoor air

The best way to keep the indoor air fresh is not to sterilize but to ventilate the windows. The number of pathogenic microorganisms in the family is limited and it is usually not necessary to use a disinfectant. Chlorine-containing disinfectants can easily irritate the eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause allergic reactions in patients with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma.

Myth 3: Disinfect indoor air with air freshener

Air fresheners are usually composed of ingredients such as ethanol, flavor, deionized water, etc., which dissipate the odor by dispersing the scent and reduce the feeling of discomfort to the odor. Some people like to put air fresheners in the car or in the bathroom of the room, and want to make the air in these places "fresh". However, air fresheners do not have a disinfecting effect. Air circulation inside or in the car is the best way to keep the air fresh.

Misunderstanding 4: Dilute disinfectant, smear wound disinfection

Disinfectant has two types of product classification: “Xie” and “Pharmaceutical”. If the wound is treated or disinfected, the product with the word "medicine" should be used. The “Xie” brand product is only used for preventive disinfection and has no therapeutic effect.

Myth 5: Disinfectant mixed with other daily chemicals

In order to clean and disinfect more thoroughly, some people mix the toilet spirit with the disinfectant to clean the sanitary ware of the bathroom. I did not expect a chemical reaction between the two chemicals, releasing a large amount of chlorine gas, irritating the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, and even causing chlorine poisoning. Most disinfectants are best used separately with reference to the instructions.

Myth 6: Cleaning the washing machine with disinfectant

The washing machine takes a long time to use, and the dirt is easily hidden in the washing machine sleeve sandwich. Some people will clean and disinfect the washing machine after diluting the 84 disinfectant. This is not appropriate. 84 disinfectant is a chlorine-containing disinfectant that corrodes the metal and easily corrodes the stainless steel inner tube of the washing machine. It may also age the plastic. The correct way is to buy a special washing machine tank cleaner in the supermarket and rinse it with plenty of water.

Myth 7: Frequent use of disinfectant in daily life

Most people use disinfectants because of their psychological effects, and feel that they are cleaner after disinfection. In fact, unless there is a clear target to prevent infectious diseases, there is no need to use common disinfectant in the general family, and it is not necessary to use it every day.

Simple and easy disinfection in life

Knowing the chemical disinfectants, people will find that the effectiveness of the disinfectant is exact, but each disinfectant may bring some adverse reactions, so be careful and reasonable to use. In addition to the use of chemical disinfectants, there are some simple and easy methods of disinfection in life.

The first is sun exposure, which is one of the simplest natural disinfection methods. The infrared and ultraviolet rays of sunlight can kill some pathogenic microorganisms and disinfect them. In the case of exposure, the clothes, bedding, etc. should be spread out to ensure that the surface can be sunburned.

Secondly, boiled with boiling water, which is one of the more commonly used disinfection methods in the family. It has the characteristics of simple and easy disinfection and reliable disinfection effect, especially suitable for disinfection of household tableware and infant bottles. Starting from the boiling of water, it usually kills most pathogenic microorganisms by boiling for 30 minutes. If you want to kill bacterial spores, fungal spores and hepatitis virus, the boiling time should be more than 1 hour.

It can also be rinsed with soap and decontaminated with water to effectively cleanse skin and clothing and reduce pathogenic microorganisms.
