What are the commonly used disinfectants?

   Disinfection is essential to maintain hygiene to reduce infection. Today we talked about common disinfectants. Four commonly used medical disinfectants include ether, 75% ethanol, chlorine disinfectant and peroxyacetic acid. These solvents can effectively kill viruses.

   If you want to disinfect at home, you can use 75% alcohol or 84 disinfectant. When the weather is good, you can often dry the clothes at home, maintain ventilation and maintain airflow. The new type of new coronavirus pneumonia virus is not very resistant and easy to be killed.
