sporocidal disinfectant

Post by Martin G » Sun Jun 17, 2012 8:24 am

I replaced our sporocidal disinfectant at work a few years ago. We previously used a formaldehyde and gluteraldehyde mixture, but I was worried about controlling exposure to it. I introduced the following SporKlenze which contains;
Hydrogen peroxide (0.2%)
Peroxyacetic acid (0.05%)
Acetic acid (0.12%)
I was not very popular as the new one stinks and irritates the skin.
I thought I would share as it may be an option in disinfection schedules or after an infection. I would by dilute BTW ( an actually read the label!), peroxides can be very dangerous in these mixtures, seems simple, but really easy to blow up things with this stuff, don't mess or risk it for a few quid.

Appologies for spelling in previous post, I hit post by accident before putting the warning about not making your own, wanted that in before anyone read it, which I did.
