Phenolic compounds were among the earliest germicides used in Healthcare after World War II. They were introduced as an alternative to chlorine. They are active against vegetative bacteria and lipid-containing viruses and, when properly formulated, also shows activity against mycobacteria. They are not sporicidal. Many phenolic products are used for the decontamination of environmental surfaces and some (e.g. triclosan and chloroxylenol) are among the more commonly used antiseptics. Some phenolic compounds are sensitive to and may be inactivated by water hardness and, therefore, must be diluted with distilled or deionized water. Phenolic compounds are not recommended for use on

Peracetic acid (also known as peroxyacetic acid, or PAA), is an organic compound. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent odor reminiscent of household vinegar. Commercially available PAA products contain an equilibrium of PAA, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, and water. Peracetic acid is a powerful antimicrobial agent due to its high oxidizing potential. It is highly effective against a broad range of microorganisms and can be sporicidal. In addition, PAA breaks down in food to safe and environmentally friendly residues (acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide), and, therefore, can be used in non-rinse food contact surface applications. Some

Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25% (bleach concentrate) –bleach is a commonly used product for task-oriented disinfection, specifically a sporicidal. Surfaces should be pre-cleaned prior to using bleach. It is the cheapest disinfectant, and effective against odors, mold, and a broad range of pathogens. Bleach is generally used as a disinfectant only when necessary, due to its strong odor, the damage to fabrics and surfaces that can result from its use, and the health and safety risks to the user associated with exposure. As an asthmagen, inhalation of chlorine vapors can cause or worsen asthma and other breathing conditions, so care must

AHP® is a patented synergistic blend of commonly used, safe ingredients that when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide dramatically increase its germicidal potency and cleaning performance. AHP® is composed of Hydrogen Peroxide, Surface Acting Agents (surfactants), wetting agents (a substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid, causing the liquid to spread across or penetrate more easily the surface of a solid) & chelating agents (a substance that helps to reduce metal content and/or hardness of water). The ingredients are all listed on the EPA and Health Canada Inerts lists and the FDA Generally Regarded as
