Toilet cleaners are common household items for bathroom sanitation, primarily composed of strong acids like hydrochloric acid. 84 Disinfectant is a chlorine-based solution. Mixing toilet cleaner with 84 Disinfectant produces chlorine gas.Chlorine gas is a highly pungent, volatile, and toxic substance. Therefore, in daily cleaning routines, toilet cleaners and disinfectants should never be used together.
Precautions: If 84 Disinfectant and toilet cleaner are accidentally used together during cleaning, chlorine gas poisoning may occur. Symptoms include severe coughing and redness of the eyes and conjunctiva. Not only does this fail to achieve disinfection, but it can also poison the human body.
Tip: When using 84 Disinfectant, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:1000. Spray the solution onto surfaces, starting from the outer edges and working inward, then moving outward again to ensure full coverage.
Hot Water
Disinfectant solutions require dilution with water during use. Cold water is typically chosen for dilution, while hot water is never used. This is because disinfectants contain chlorine, which readily undergoes volatilization reactions. Placing the solution in hot water accelerates evaporation, significantly reducing its disinfecting efficacy.
Tip:Always dilute disinfectant with cold water.
Laundry Detergent
Laundry detergents fall into two categories: anionic and nonionic. Disinfectants operate on a similar principle. Mixing disinfectant with laundry detergent may trigger a neutralization reaction, significantly reducing the disinfectant's germicidal efficacy. Therefore, for optimal disinfection, avoid combining disinfectants with laundry detergents.
Alkaline Substances
Common alkaline items include soap bars and other similar products. When combined with disinfectant, the sodium hypochlorite in the disinfectant reacts with alkaline substances, neutralizing each other and reducing the disinfectant's effectiveness.
Proper Usage of Disinfectant Solutions
1. Disinfecting Tableware with 84 Disinfectant
Disinfectant solutions are commonly used to sterilize tableware. For items that have not been used for a long time or have mold, follow these steps:
Dilute 84 disinfectant at a 1:9 ratio with water. Ensure all items to be disinfected are fully submerged in the solution for 20 minutes.
2. Disinfecting Rooms with 84 Disinfectant
Materials: 84 disinfectant, clean water.
Procedure:
1. Sweep the floor first to remove dust, hair, and other surface debris.
2. Dilute the 84 disinfectant according to the recommended ratio: add 2-5ml of disinfectant to 1000ml of water.
3. Soak a clean cloth or mop in the diluted solution for about 3 minutes.
4. Wring out the mop until it no longer drips. Mop the floor once with the solution, then mop again with a clean mop to minimize disinfectant residue.
