Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of preparing a practical home disinfection kit to prevent the spread of germs and ensure family health, providing guidance through a series of questions and answers [1]. Group 1: Essential Tools for Disinfection Kit - The disinfection kit should include three basic categories of tools: cleaning tools (disposable disinfectant wipes, medical gauze/cotton balls, tweezers), container tools (small glass bottles with lids, graduated spray bottles), and protective tools (disposable gloves, medical masks) [4]. Group 2: Recommended Disinfectants - Different disinfectants are suitable for various scenarios, including: - Chlorine disinfectants (e.g., 84 disinfectant liquid/tablets) for surfaces like floors and trash bins [5]. - 75% medical alcohol for quick disinfection of hands and small wounds [5]. - Quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants for children's toys and furniture [5]. - Iodine disinfectants for skin wounds [5]. Group 3: Special Considerations for Families with Elderly and Children - Families with elderly and children should prioritize safer disinfectants, avoiding strong irritants like undiluted chlorine disinfectants, and opting for quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants instead [6]. Group 4: Wound Care Supplies - The disinfection kit should include wound care supplies such as adhesive bandages, medical tape, and saline solution to protect wounds and prevent secondary infections [8]. Group 5: Regular Maintenance of Disinfection Kit - It is essential to regularly check and organize the disinfection kit, with a recommendation to inspect it monthly and during seasonal changes to ensure the effectiveness of the disinfectants [10]. Group 6: Expiration and Effectiveness of Disinfectants - Disinfectants should be checked for expiration dates, as expired products may lose effectiveness. For example, alcohol and iodine lose their efficacy after expiration, and opened chlorine disinfectants should be replaced after one month [11]. Group 7: Concentration and Mixing of Disinfectants - Higher concentrations of disinfectants are not always better; for instance, 75% alcohol is more effective than 95% for killing germs. Mixing different disinfectants can be dangerous and should be avoided [12][13]. Group 8: Disinfection of Packages - It is recommended to disinfect frequently touched surfaces of packages, such as delivery boxes and takeout containers, using 75% alcohol wipes or diluted chlorine disinfectant sprays [18].
