Which two chemicals does TDLR recommend for destroying most pathogens on surfaces?

The recommendation for using an EPA registered disinfectant and bleach comes from their effectiveness in destroying a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi on hard surfaces. EPA registered disinfectants are specifically tested and proven to demonstrate efficacy against pathogens, ensuring that surfaces are sanitized properly. Bleach, when used correctly, is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is effective in killing germs and preventing the spread of infections.

In environments where cleanliness is paramount, particularly in personal care settings such as those involving eyelash extensions, employing these chemicals is crucial for ensuring client safety and maintaining sanitary conditions. The combination of these two substances addresses both broad-spectrum disinfecting properties and practical application in real-world scenarios.

Other options may not provide the same level of effectiveness or are not recommended for wide-scale use in professional sanitation practices. For instance, alcohol and vinegar might be useful for general cleaning but do not meet the rigorous standards for hospital-level disinfecting. Hydrogen peroxide and detergent serve different purposes, and while they can be cleaning agents, they do not have the same disinfectant qualities as those endorsed by the EPA. Likewise, ammonia and soap may have cleaning properties, but they also lack the necessary disinfectant capabilities for effective pathogen elimination in a professional setting.
