What are the comparisons between ammonia & bleach as disinfectants?
Q. I understand ammonia & bleach both act as disinfectants. However, isn't bleach a sanitize also? I am applying the cleaner to a ph level 7 item, so which would be better to stop mold, fungi, bacteria, etc? Please apply as much chemistry as possible; helps me learn.

A. Bleach is a better disinfectant since it contains mono-atomic chlorine. Ammonia solutions are relatively highly basic, so you wouldnot have pH 7 conditions for long. Ammonia is toxic to bacteria, but not all, while atomic chlorine literally blows holes in them.

A.

Disinfectants/Cleaners safe for sensitive family and pets?

A. Extensive use of bleach can lead to both skin and respiratory problems. Not all germs are harmfull. There are many beneficial bacteria out there that keep the more harmful bacteria at bay. By killing 99.9% of all bacteria as most disinfectants claim you are actually providing space for the other 0.01 % that dont get killed. These 0.01% are the ones that you need to worry about.

A. Oxidizing agents Oxidizing agents act by oxidising the cell membrane of microorganisms, which results in a loss of structure and leads to cell lysis and death. A large number of disinfectants operate in this way. Chlorine and oxygen are strong oxidizers, so their compounds figure heavily here.

A. i have to agree somewhat, your immune system only knows to fight back when something invades it. thats just how it works. but theres no sense in living in a moldy TB infested pit either lol. UV is very effective against most all live things like TB, strep, molds etc. the intensity, wavelength and how long its on will determine how much it kills. some things are harder to kill with it though just depends. useful thing to have around if you want, sunlight is hard to beat though. UV is used for many types of decontamination yes but is not effective for every thing.

Alternatives for common disinfectants at daycare due to Asthma?
Q. I have been using either Lysol or a bleach water solution to disinfect the toys at the daycare I work at. I have reactive airway disease and possibly a mild form of asthma (to see the doctor 2 weeks from now) I am 100% sure that inhaling the lysol and the bleach water is an irritant and triggers upper respiratiory infections in MYSELF. Just wondering if anyone has an alternative that disinfects similar to these two products without the airborn irritants. Thanks!

A. Streak an agar plate with the bacteria you'd like to test on, making sure you cover the entire plate. Divide the plate into sections (this can be done with marker on the underside of the plate). In order to test any particular disinfectant, take a small circle of paper about the size of the circles punched out of paper by common hole punchers (filter paper is commonly used, but any sort of paper should be fine, as long as it's absorbant). Using a tweezer, dip one circle into each of the disinfectants you would like to test and put each on separate sections. Incubate the plates, usually for approximately 24 hours, then when you take them out, there should be clear zones around each of the filter paper circles. The larger the zone of… [cont.]

A. If you mean limiting disease-causing microbes, then good hygiene is key - e.g. washing hands especially after blowing nose, covering nose with the front of the elbow when sneezing, etc. But for actually killing bacteria, antibiotics may be beneficial against certain types. Temperature is another method - heat (i.e. pasteurization, boiling, autoclave) may kill bacteria, refrigeration may slow their reproduction. pH is also important - many bacteria can't survive an acidic environment. Also, other microbes may outcompete pathogenic bacteria, thus limiting their spread. Finally, limiting available iron stores in the body reduces the "fuel" for many pathogenic bacteria.

A. An interesting obsrevation is that when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants, they often become slightly less viable in normal conditions. A bacteria that was resistant to disinfectant would not be more likely to be resistant to either your immune system or to antibiotics,since the pathways are totally different. It would increase the chance that there would be bacteria on surfaces that you might think were clean, but its not more likely that these bacteria would be more deadly.
