Can Wipe With Wet Towel Effectively Disinfect?

We can use hot water and detergent to clean some children's toys, such as baby's hand bell, gum, etc. If children's toys are resistant to high temperature, they can also be sterilized by steaming or boiling.

If it is a plastic product, it is better to use chemical disinfection and sterilization (first clean it, and then soak it in the disinfection and sterilization solution).

But all children's toys that need electricity or batteries should not be cleaned without water. For such or other children's toys that are not resistant to high temperature, parents can use wet paper towels with disinfection and sterilization effects to wipe them, and then hand them over to children to play after they are dried.

If children are playing outdoors, the surface of children's toys and objects they touch can also be wiped with disinfectant wipes.

The disinfectant wipes should usually contain alcohol, quaternary ammonium compounds, dichlorobenzbiguanidine hexane or triclosan. Alcohol can deteriorate the protein of bacteria, so it has the function of disinfection and sterilization.

Quaternary ammonium compounds are mainly used to control the growth and development of bacteria and fungi, not to kill bacteria. Their antibacterial ability is lower than that of alcohol.

Dichloroben biguanidine hexane has a moderate effect on disinfection and sterilization, which is slower than that of alcohol, but the effect can last for a while, but a few people may be sensitive to this ingredient, so you must avoid touching your eyes when using it.

The control effect of triclosan on bacteria and viruses is weak.

It should be noted that many of the wet paper towels on the market are mainly used to clean the skin, without disinfection and sterilization. We should pay attention to distinguish them when buying.
