Effective Indoor Disinfection for Pet Owners: A Compreh

How to Properly Utilize Alcohol?

It's widely known that alcohol can be used for disinfection, but not all types of alcohol are suitable for household disinfection products.

Only alcohol swabs or alcohol solutions with a concentration of 70% to 75% are ideal for home use and offer the best results.

Never spray alcohol directly onto pets (or humans, for that matter)! This can easily lead to alcohol allergies and even pose a fire hazard.

Proper Usage:

You can spray alcohol onto a dry cloth and use it for wiping down surfaces. This includes disinfecting your phone, remote controls, computer keyboards, and various appliance switches and buttons.

Be Aware: Chlorine Disinfectants Can Be Hazardous

Note that not all disinfectants containing the word "chlorine" are chlorinebased. Chlorine disinfectants are those that, when dissolved in water, produce sodium hypochlorite.

In our daily lives, common chlorine disinfectants include 84 disinfectant, bleaching powder, chlorine disinfectant powder, or chlorine effervescent tablets. When properly diluted and placed in a plastic container, they can be used for widespread disinfection and are effective against the novel coronavirus. However, they are also highly irritating, both to pets and humans.

Be cautious! Some cats have an inexplicable fondness for chlorine disinfectants, which can be as intense as their love for catnip. Therefore, it is crucial to keep these disinfectants securely stored. Always ensure proper dilution when using them and keep an eye on your furry friends!

Proper Usage:

Before use, always read the instructions and strictly follow the dilution guidelines provided. When disinfecting, wear a mask, latex gloves, and a waterproof apron. If you have safety goggles, wear them to prevent the solution from splashing into your eyes and causing injury. After the disinfectant has taken effect for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse or wipe the area with clean water 1 to 2 times.

Throughout the disinfection process, please keep your pets in a separate room to prevent them from licking or coming into contact with the disinfectant.

Is the UV Light a CostEffective and Effective Solution?

UV lights are not only useful but also costeffective and can kill the novel coronavirus.

However, caution is still necessary when using them.

UV lights can kill the novel virus, but they are harmful to the human body. Be particularly careful to ensure that neither humans nor cats have their skin or mucous membranes exposed directly to the UV light.

Proper Usage:

When using UV lights, make sure there are no people or pets in the room. The recommended usage time is usually 60 minutes. Additionally, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential, as the light tube's transmittance directly affects its sterilization ability.

Regularly clean the light tubes using alcohol, but avoid touching the glass of the light tubes. Typically, you can pour alcohol onto a piece of gauze and clean the light tubes once a week. If the light tube's light transmittance is poor, it can significantly impact the sterilization ability. If the dirty area of the light tube is 3050%, it's usually time to replace the light tube.

Generally, domestic brands have a lifespan of 1000 hours, but after 1000 hours, their sterilization ability is only about 7080% of the original. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep track of the usage time.
