Basic cleaners & disinfectants for hygienic cleanliness 

Basic cleaners and disinfectants: what to look out for when buying 

Basic cleaners and disinfectants are important tools for cleaning and disinfecting rooms and objects. Thorough basic cleaning is particularly necessary before painting work, such as varnishing, so that the paint adheres better to the surface. When purchasing cleaning agents, it is advisable to always select the right cleaning agent for the intended cleaning task. 

Basic cleaners for surface cleaning and more 

The basic cleaners have a neutral pH value and are used to remove general soiling from surfaces. They are safer to use than alkaline or acidic cleaners, but can be less effective at removing heavy soiling. The following cleaners are suitable for general household use: 

• Alkaline cleaners: These cleaners are usually highly alkaline and are used to remove grease and dirt from surfaces. They are often found in industrial and household applications and can be made from various substances such as sodium hydroxide.  
• Acidic cleaners: These cleaners are usually highly acidic and are used to remove limescale and rust from surfaces. They are often used in industry and in the home and can consist of various acids such as acetic acid or hydrochloric acid. 

The concentration of the cleaning agent is another important factor that can influence the effectiveness of the product. 

The types of disinfectants 

There are different types of disinfectants on the market, each containing different active ingredients and suitable for different areas of application, such as:

• Alcohol-based disinfectants: Alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol) is a common disinfectant used in hand sanitisers, surface disinfectants and other applications.  
• Chlorine-based disinfectants: Chlorine is an effective disinfectant and is often used to disinfect swimming pools, water supply systems and wastewater treatment plants.  
• Hydrogen peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is often used as a disinfectant for wounds and surfaces. It is considered a strong oxidising agent and can kill a wide range of germs.  
• Quaternary ammonium compounds: These compounds are often used in household cleaning products and surface disinfectants.  

The choice of the right disinfectant depends on the application and the surfaces to be disinfected.
