    Disinfectants should only be used in the
    areas where harmful germs are likely to
    exist.
    Disinfectants kill the harmful bacteria.
    Most disinfectants have strong smell and
    therefore should be used in recommended
    amounts in areas where germ control is
    required. E.g.
    Phenol: They are used in dilute or
    concentrate to disinfect surfaces in
    hospitals.
    Halogens: the elements chlorine and
    iodine may be used as disinfectants.

    FLOOR SEAL
    A floor seal can be either solvent or water based. It is
    applied to a floor surface to form a semi permanent
    protective barrier which will prevent the entry of dirt,
    liquids, grease stains and bacteria. Depending on the
    traffic they receive, they may last for upto five years
    before replacement is necessary. E.g.
    • Oleo-resinous: These are clear solvent based sealers
    used on wood cork and magnesite floors.
    They consist of oils, resins and solvents.

    One pot plastic: They are made up of synthetic materials.

    Pigmented sealers: These sealers contain colour
    pigments which provide colour and also strengthen the
    sealer. They are used on wood, concrete and stone floors.
