CDC: Disinfectants and Their Properties
Posted by Clark Venable on 3/24/2005
The CDC published (as an appendix to another report) a guide on which disinfectant work for what organisms:
"All surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly before disinfection. For basic disinfection, a 1:100 dilution of household bleach (i.e., 2.5 tablespoons/gallon) or a 1:1,000 dilution of quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., Roccal-D® or Zephiran®) may be used. This appendix includes instructions for disinfection when a particular organism has been identified. All compounds require a contact time of >10 minutes."
