Medical Disinfectants

Tous Ergo offers a wide range of disinfectants for every kind of setting: medical, industrial, food service, home, and more. Our medical disinfectant line includes products for hands, surfaces, instruments and medical devices.

It is important not to mix up washing and disinfecting. Washing, for example, removes dirt from your hands. Disinfectants work against a wide range of microorganisms. For a thorough surface disinfection and for your hands, wash them well first. Disinfection works best as a second step, on a surface that is already clean and dry. In the disinfection and hygiene range at Tous Ergo you will find hand sanitizers, surface disinfectants, and products for washing and wiping. It also helps to clean the body with washcloths, pre-soaped or plain.

A few straightforward points from Tous Ergo:

• Cleaning products: A disinfectant is a cleaning product that destroys germs and bacteria (microorganisms).
• Medical offices: Disinfectants are essential for hygiene in a medical office. We particularly recommend Anios products.
• Hand hygiene: Wash your hands regularly with a disinfectant product to help prevent contamination.
• Disinfectant wipes: Disinfectant wipes are an effective, practical way to disinfect.

Disinfectant surface-cleaner spray (or detergent)

People often assume that detergents disinfect. They do not. A detergent contains no disinfectant and only cleans. You still need a disinfectant along with the detergent. Think of a detergent as soap you can use on floors and other surfaces. It often comes as a liquid, and also as a powder, capsules, and more. Follow the directions. Used the wrong way, a detergent can create health risks.

As for disinfectants, they complement detergent. Detergent cleans, and disinfectant destroys microorganisms on the surfaces you treat.

Several types of disinfectants are sold:

• virucidal products
• bactericidal products
• sporicidal products
• fungicidal products
• antiseptics

Remember that all disinfectants are hazardous and toxic to the skin and to your health (except antiseptics), so take precautions before you handle them.
