It evaporates too fast to fully penetrate all surfaces and isn't as effective against a bunch of biological vectors like spores that require prolonged contact to really kill. Quat disinfectants leave a residue behind that continues killing stuff and they're generally less irritating to skin and the respiratory system (though that's for people using the room after it was disinfected, not necessarily for the person doing the disinfecting).
- arijun 3y agoWhat about suspending the ethanol like in alcohol gel? Could we find a gelling agent that is less irritating than the quat disinfectant residue?
- throwup238 3y agoThat works fine for hand sanitizer but it becomes too viscous to spray as disinfectant, which is important for hospitals.
