Chemical disinfectants

There are seven main groups of chemical disinfectants, the first four being the most suitable for disinfecting hairdressing equipment:

• Phenolic’s such as Lysol or Sudol - these are very effective against bacteria but some are unpleasant to handle or are strong smelling.
• Hypochlorites such as bleach - these are effective against bacteria but may be corrosive to metal.
• Iodophors which contain iodine - these are effective against bacteria and some even contain detergents.
• Alcohol such as methylated spirits - these are effective against bacteria and are generally fast acting.
• Quaternary ammonium compounds such as Savlon - these are generally less effective disinfectants but better as detergents.
• Diguanides such as Dettol - these have a limited anti-microbial activity and are not suitable to disinfect equipment.

Pine fluids such as Pine ‘o’ Clean - these have very little disinfectant activity.
