Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is inactivated by
cationic soaps/detergents & sunlight
What can be produced when bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is mixed with other chemicals?
chlorine gas
Quaternary ammonium products are inactivated by:
anionic detergents
Phenols: main advantage
better activity in organic debris
Phenols are toxic to
cats & pigs
