“Hey! These terms are so familiar, and I’ve been using it without discrimination” This would have been the thought that first comes to your mind on reading the title. No worries, that’s quite common, but they have a world of difference. It's important that you get some clarity and specially now, when we are in the midst of a pandemic right information is valuable or, I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I say, ‘life saving’.
Let's deep dive to know more. Umpteen products are available in the market that offer germ killing action. These products either use alcohol or Quaternary ammonium compounds.
Alcohol based disinfectants start killing germs almost instantly within 30 sec of coming into contact with the surface and then subsequently evaporates leaving behind no residue to kill further germs that land on the surface either through air or from contact. We can conclude that a surface cleaned with alcohol is void of germs for the moment and holds no guarantee of protecting the surface any further /beyond.
On the other hand products that use quats for disinfection start the action of killing germs after a contact time of 5 min or more as they stand on the surface. The action of killing germs lasts for 1-2 hours or as claimed by the product manufacturer only if the surface is left untouched or maintained without abrasions. But if the surface is disturbed by contact or by wiping the actives on the surface is removed and is prone to germs once again. So, it's like you should not touch the surface ever, to keep the disinfectant working
But this is practically not possible with our children running around the house and we having to remember not to touch disinfected surfaces. Either we leave the surface untouched or keep disinfecting on repeat mode, this seems impossible and even more when it comes to common touch points.
