What Michael said, quaternary ammonium stuff. They're pretty cheap
and reliable. Phenolics are also cheap and reliable.

I think nurses use rubbing alcohol because it dissolves skin oil
and leaves no residue. If you spray much of it, it's expensive.
If you dilute it, it's less effective. There's an important type
of bacteria that it doesn't kill.

Germs don't seem to survive on some surfaces. Years ago,
scientists took cultures from various kinds of hand holds in the
New York Subway. They didn't find dangerous germs.

I clean everything with alcohol. Go to a Dollar store or buy the
Wal-mart brand. They're cheap and just as good as the name brand. I
never dilute it. Pour it into a spray bottle. I doubt, since it
evaporates, that it is harmful in any way.

Quats, such as the blue Lysol liquid, have two primary weaknesses. They have no residual
killing power and they are not tuberculocidal. There are some relative new products that
are still called quats, but are tuberculocidal.

Phenolics, such as the brown Lysol liquid, are highly corrosive and toxic to humans. It is
tuberculocidal and does have bacteriostatic properties. Of course, that residue is what
corrodes surfaces--or skin.

Hospital grade quats or phenolics do have a low in-use cost, because they are so
concentrated, but they still cost about $25.00 per gallon. Common dilutions are 1:128 or
1:256. Since I already have plenty of water, I buy the most concentrated products, because
it saves on shipping.

Experience is something you don't get--until just after you need it.

That's what I was thinking too. Very affordable at .50 a bottle, and
brings peace of mind w/ kids and animals running around the house.

Thanks Piper for your response.

Are you serious? What on earth is it coming to, cleaning shopping trolleys?

Isopropyl alcohol [isopropanaol] is not very expensive. Diluting it will make it less
effective and harder to air dry. In quantities you're apt to be toting around, rubbing
alcohol won't pose much threat "to kids, pets, etc."

You might want to consider a sanitizing, popup towelette.

Well, just what is "it"? And what do you think it is coming to? LOL :-) I know what
"it" is, but I do not know where it will end. Maybe Tyvek gear and full-face respirators
for all. :-)

Today, I heard a successful businessman say that he would never sit in a motel bathtub.

Microbiology and pathology are so interesting.

Whatever it takes.
