Do not mix several disinfectants at will to avoid poisoning
A hygienic living environment is a very important factor for the health of dogs. Reducing the concentration of bacteria in the air can effectively prevent dogs from being invaded by germs. However, you should also pay attention to many issues when disinfecting, so as not to affect the dog's health due to your own mistakes.
Inadequate disinfection methods will not only fail to achieve the disinfection effect, but will also lead to the development of drug resistance in the disease body, reducing biosafety hazards. So we should consider how to use disinfectant? What is the correct way to use it? How effective can this disinfectant be?
1. If the dog vomits or has diarrhea, how to disinfect it
The correct way to do this is to clean it first after removing the vomit. Clean the infected area with laundry detergent and dish soap. Wait for the surface to dry before spraying disinfectant. Disinfectants work best on clean surfaces. As for infectious hair and dandruff (for example, when you have skin problems), you must first clean up the hair (vacuum cleaner is recommended first), and then go to a dry cleaning environment. However, you must also understand why your dog is vomiting. If it is caused by normal reasons such as eating too much, you may not need to disinfect it, but it must be cleaned up immediately.
2. Use appropriate disinfectants and do not mix several disinfectants at will
It should also be noted when using disinfectants that some so-called all-in-one disinfectants may not be able to solve the corresponding problems properly. Therefore, disinfection is disinfection, cleaning is cleaning, and the effect of separation is better. There is a guideline for reference when using disinfectants. Basically, organic matter such as feces and vomitus are acidic substances, and it is recommended to use alkaline disinfectants. Minerals such as dust are alkaline, so it is recommended to use acidic disinfectants. However, it must be noted that the same kind of disinfectant (a certain ingredient) should not be used for too long. We must understand that bacteria are also resistant to drug resistance. The effectiveness of the same kind of disinfectant will be significantly reduced for how long it is used.
3. Not the higher the concentration, the better
Each disinfectant will have different disinfection effects at different concentrations, bacteria, viruses , spores, etc. all require different concentrations. If this solution is used, it will directly cause the pathogen to enter the defensive mode, enter the dormant state, and wait for the environment to be suitable for re-germination - in other words, the disinfection effect will not be achieved.
Secondly, it should be noted that the higher the concentration of the disinfectant, the better. On the contrary, too high a concentration will cause harm to the health of yourself and your dog.

4 . Disinfectants also need time to take effect.
There is also a process for disinfectants to take effect. It is generally recommended that disinfectants should be sprayed and wiped for 10-15 minutes. There is no effect if it is removed. Even if you use traditional boiling and high-temperature disinfection, it will take more than 30 minutes to achieve the effect, so it is best to wait for a while before wiping.
5. Do not disinfect too frequently
Disinfection is just to control the microbial load within a safe range, and it does not achieve absolute Regarding sterility. So if there is no big problem, routine disinfection is enough, and the cycle can even be extended.
6. Keep your dog well under control during disinfection.
After the disinfection is completed, the disinfectant must be washed away. It does not end with natural wind. Let the dog step directly on the ground with disinfectant. , the dog's paws will be stained with disinfectant. Some disinfectants have a certain corrosive effect, so they are not healthy for the dog's feet. Moreover, some dogs have the habit of biting their own paws, which may cause Poisoning due to accidental ingestion
