Avoid the use of disinfectants or cleaners containing more than 1% or 2% alcohol (either IPA or Ethanol). Acceptable types of disinfectants commercially available include, but are not limited to: Phenols (e.g., Birex SE) Hypochlorites (e.g., Sani-Cloth Bleach Wipe.not to be confused with Sani-Cloth Plus, which DOES contain alcohol) Hydrogen Peroxide (e.g., OPTIM 33TB) Alcohol-free quaternary amines (e.g., Asepti-HB by ECOLAB, Lysol Brand IC Quaternary Disinfectant Cleaner.not to be confused with Lysol II IC, which DOES contain alcohol) **** CAUTION ****: Please be aware that most quaternary amines (.quats.) have a significant alcohol content (e.g., Cavicide, CaviWipes, DisCide ULTRA, Lysol II IC, etc). Carefully review the list of contents of any candidate quats to verify that no alcohol is present in concentrations higher than 1% or 2%.
