Bleach Vs. Disinfectant

[AugustaCarp]

When do you use which?

Bleach - never.

Disinfectant - when cleaning toilet (diluted). Sometimes down plug holes. Sometimes diluted as floor cleaner for vinyl. I also use a disinfectant spray for work surfaces, door handles, wiping remote controls when someone is infectious.

Bleach for toilet everyday, will put down drains too every now and then, will also scrub the bathroom with it once a week

Use dettol to wash floors and to damp wipe furniture once a week

Disinfectant never. Bleach around the toilet pan most days.

Apparently the prob with bleach is in the production rather than the result.

Upside, bacteria have no resistance to bleach. Ever. Or soap. What matters as much with hygiene is the drying. Wet hands, wet surfaces: you might as well not bother washing in the first place.

Anti-bacterials only kill 99% of household bacteria, leaving the rest to grow and resist the anti-bac sprays. Anti-bac shite is the work of the devil. Unless the anti-bac is a prescription medicine, it does not get into our house.

Hot water, non-bacterial cleaner will do the trick.

Keep cloths clean. I have new tea-towels/scrubby things/counter cloths every day. They're kept in a string snag in the laundry and boiled with bleach when the bag is full.

Bleach for the loo and the kitchen sink.

Disinfectant for mopping some of the floors.

Disinfectant - only used when nasty vomiting bug was doing the rounds.
Bleach - once a week/fortnight in the loos.
& on mould in the shower.

no bleach down pipes - we have a septic tank.
cleaning with Jif and not water. Occasional anti-bac spray if there's been raw meat juice spilled or similar.

I don't use bleach. Disinfectant on kitchen and bathroom floors and for wiping surfaces etc if we've had stomach bugs. OH would use bleach everywhere everyday and loves a bit of antibacterial shit. Unfortunately I haven't found a disinfectant that isn't antibacterial here. I keep looking.
