Disinfection tips?

Is there actually a disinfectant out there that isn't total poison? I'm looking for something in a mist or vapor form that won't wreck my lungs but still kills over 90% of bacteria.
I see people all over Europe using this stuff constantly—in gyms, schools, waiting rooms, you name it—but I can't find a single thing like it here in the States! Why is that?

Bourbon?

🤣

Which one? I could really use something like that in a restaurant! Especially during flu season and all that! If you guys find anything, let me know!!

UV light, ultrasound

I did a little digging and stumbled upon Lysol—it's actually a Swiss company, but they have major distributors here in the States!! It comes in a misting spray that breaks down into nothing but oxygen and water!! It’s definitely not overpriced, and you can order it in just about any format you need!!

I tracked them down on Facebook 🙂
and their US distributor is 3M.

Personally, I just stick to what they use in hospitals, like Lysol. You can pick up a liter bottle at most pharmacies for about $15. It's a concentrate, so you have to dilute it. I use it for mopping floors and tiles.

I’ve heard that 70% alcohol—and especially weaker concentrations—actually thins out the skin. It seems unwise to be slathering it on constantly. What about Lysol? I need some kind of hand disinfectant to use about ten times a day, and I have my reasons involving work. I really don't know what to use that will actually kill the germs without wrecking my skin. Does anyone have a recommendation?

No, this thread definitely wasn't started just to pitch Lysol. 🤣

It’s pretty funny how Fabian and Edward Hall (and even Lysol in that flu thread) make the exact same typos. 🤦
Makes you wonder... but I guess that's for the moderators to look into.

p.s. if I've got that wrong, my apologies : posipasepepelom: :klečinakuruzi:

Haha, I don't know why people even bother with this 😁

I haven't personally used Lysol yet, but according to the label, it’s non-toxic. It uses a colloidal silver base, so it doesn't leave behind any stains, flavors, or odors. Apparently, it just breaks down into water and oxygen. You can grab it as a household spray or get the concentrate for heavier-duty jobs. I actually saw all this on an American Facebook page dedicated to Lysol disinfection.

I'm going to give it a shot and let you all know how it goes.
