Cleaning a shed using only a pressure washer and a good cleaning agent, is not enough. One of the most common problems in the field of hygiene is visibly cleaning a shed, but forgetting to tackle the most stubborn bacteria and disease-makers. For this purpose, you will need good disinfectants.

When you have completely cleaned, hosed down, foamed, and power washed the shed, by the naked eye the shed looks quite clean. However, the most stubborn bacteria, fungi and germs have not disappeared yet. The cleaning agent has tackled the fat or lime layer, but now you can only tackle the bacteria underneath with a disinfectant.

Make sure you choose the right one, not every disinfectant can be used everywhere! There are several types of disinfectants. There are oxidising disinfectants and non-oxidising disinfectants. Oxidising agents work fast because they take action aggressively on their objective. However, oxidising agents cannot be used on any surface, and the agents are sensitive to residual contamination. If you want to disinfect a shed using an oxidising agent, then the shed has to be completely clean. If your sheds do not have smooth stainless steel or plastic substrates, or residual pollution is still present, it is wise to use a non-oxidising agent. Non-oxidising cleaning agents should soak for a longer period, but can be used on almost all surfaces.

In addition to oxidising disinfectants and non-oxidising disinfectants, disinfection is further divided into disinfectant for foot disinfection, transport disinfection, personal disinfection and disinfection to combat specific diseases. Whether a disinfectant has been approved and is effective for certain animal diseases can be found on the website of the ctgb.

The selection of a disinfectant is dependent on the application and which bacteria are to be removed. Follow the steps of this step-by-step plan and you will get the best product
