Noundisinfectant (plural disinfectants)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Disinfectants are substances that are applied to non-living objects to destroy microorganisms that are living on the objects. Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially not resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilisation, which is an extreme physical and / or chemical process that kills all types of life. Disinfectants are different from other antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics, which destroy microorganisms within the body, and antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue. Disinfectants are also different from biocides — the latter are intended to destroy all forms of life, not just microorganisms. Sanitisers are substances that simultaneously both clean and disinfect. Bacterial endospores are most resistant to disinfectants, but some viruses and bacteria also possess some tolerance.

Call your piercer and get specific directions for the product you were given. You could have been given a surgical cleanser like Hibicleanse. To use this, soak the piercing in plain warm water first to remove any lymph crust that may have formed. Then gently rub the cleanser on the area around the piercing. Rinse extremely well. Surgical scrubs can be a bit harsh and drying, so if you run into any problems at all with your skin getting irritated you need to contact your piercer for new cleaning directions. You might have been given an anti-bacterial soap like Provon. Use this like regular soap to clean the area. So soak the area, suds up, rinse off. You might have been given a bottle of sea salt spray like H2Ocean.

Other store brands etc. define themselves as deodorizer but not disinfectant. They seem to have the same concentration of sodium hypochlorite. What gives?

It is an astringent, such as lemon juice and vinegar. Clorox appears to be the only one who wants to add this additional usage to its products advantages.

Q. i just got my ears pierced an hour ago and i hated the earrings that were in. i knew that you arent supposed to take them out for risk of infection, but i risked it. i made sure everything was clean and i was careful. are there any other steps other than using taht disinfectant to avoid infection (i.e. taking ibuprofen) ? and if i did cause an infection how long will it take for me to notice its infected? Asked by Ryan M - Wed Oct 17 20:33:07 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You will notice within about a day or two if it was infected. They will turn bright red and probably secrete pus or crust up. Make sure you wash your hands EVERY time you touch your ears. Try to keep shampoo away from them because it dries them out. Most piercing places give you a bottle of after care to clean them with, clean them twice a day. New piercings are bacteria breeding grounds because it is an open wound in a closed area so you have to be careful about handling them. It may take them longer to heal than normal. Just keep an eye on them and call the piercing studio if they do get infected for further instructions.
