What Type Of Surface Disinfectant Do I Need?
Choosing the right solution depends on the specific requirements of your daily work. The key factors are the size of the area to be disinfected, the material composition of the equipment, and the interval between treatments.
When Are Ready-To-Use Disinfectant Wipes Suitable?
Pre-moistened disinfectant wipes (RTU wipes) are ideal for the rapid wipe-down disinfection of small surfaces and those in close proximity to patients.
Typical applications:
- Dental chairs
- Levitation tables
- Handpieces and contra-angles
- Displays for medical devices
They can be used immediately without the need for additional dosing and are particularly effective between patient contacts.
Alcohol-Free Or Alcohol-Based Surface Disinfectant?
The choice between alcohol-based and alcohol-free surface disinfectants depends largely on material compatibility:
Alcohol-Based Surface Disinfectant
- suitable for hard-wearing, alcohol-resistant surfaces
- quick-drying
- ideal for metal work surfaces
Alcohol-Free Surface Disinfectant
- ideal for delicate materials such as acrylic glass or imitation leather
- prevents brittleness and damage to the material
- particularly suitable for appliance surfaces
Use Of Surface Disinfectant
Dosage, Concentration And Contact Time
To ensure effective germ reduction, the following factors must be taken into account and adhered to:
- Under-dosing → insufficient effect
- Overdosing → Material stress and residues
- Contact time → The surface must remain completely wet.
This is the only way to ensure that surface disinfection is fully effective.
Standardised Workflow
A structured process improves safety and prevents cross-contamination:
- Apply disinfectant or remove the wipe
- Wipe the surface thoroughly and systematically
- Use spray disinfectant only on hard-to-reach areas
- Leave the item to air dry

Frequently Asked Questions On Surface Disinfection
How do I choose the right surface disinfectant for my practice?
The selection is based on three key factors:
- Spectrum of activity: Does the product cover the required pathogens?
- Material compatibility: Is the product gentle on the treated surface?
- Form of application: Does the method of application (e.g. spray, wipe) fit in with your procedures?
Important: Only use products that have been thoroughly tested and certified for medical use.
How do I carry out surface disinfection correctly?
Wipe disinfection is considered the safest method. Follow these steps:
- Application: Apply the product to a cloth or use pre-moistened wipes.
- Wiping: Wipe the surface thoroughly, applying light pressure.
- Leave to soak in: Do not wipe the surface dry by hand.
- Finishing: Allow the preparation to air-dry naturally for the entire recommended exposure time.
How long does surface disinfectant need to be left to work?
The duration varies depending on the preparation and the objective:
- Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions: The exact time is stated on the product label or in the technical data sheet.
- The duration depends on the product and the required spectrum of activity.
- The surface must remain visibly damp throughout the entire treatment time to ensure that pathogens are reliably killed.
Wiping or spraying – which is better?
Wipe disinfection is the standard practice and is recommended by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
Advantages of wipe disinfection:
- Double effect: Combines chemical disinfection with mechanical cleaning.
- Health protection: Prevents harmful aerosols from entering the air you breathe.
- Safety: Ensures better wetting of the surface.
Use of spray disinfection:
- Permitted only in exceptional cases.
- For use exclusively in hard-to-reach areas that cannot be accessed mechanically.
Which surface disinfectant is suitable for delicate surfaces?
For delicate surfaces (e.g. acrylic glass, monitors or imitation leather), alcohol-free cleaning products are the right choice.
- Advantage: High material compatibility whilst maintaining full efficacy.
- The problem with alcohol is that it strips surfaces of their plasticisers.
- Possible consequences: cracking and embrittlement, milky cloudiness, long-term damage to the material.
Tip: Before use, check the manufacturer’s recommendations – particularly for treatment chairs – to ensure the material lasts as long as possible.
