I think cat health is crucial for every cat lover. Disinfection of cat supplies, toys and the environment is an important way to prevent infectious diseases in cats and co-infected diseases in humans and cats. Many parents are confused about the frequency of disinfection, disinfection methods and the choice of disinfection supplies. More and more disinfection supplies for humans and pets are flooding the market, and the quality is uneven, which often makes everyone unable to start.
In order to avoid cats from being infected with serious diseases due to viruses, bacteria or fungi in the environment, disinfection becomes particularly important. So how do you choose cat disinfectant? Next, let’s learn about disinfectants suitable for cats and household use.
How to choose cat disinfectant?
In order to prevent cats and family from getting sick, pet sterilization spray can be used. It can eliminate a variety of common bacteria and kill 99.99% of E. coli, spores, tuberculosis, etc. and influenza viruses in just 15-30 seconds.
Spray a few times and it is safe and non-irritating. After spraying, you can eat directly with your hands and can also be used for disinfection of wounds, pets, toys and daily necessities. The liquid sprayed from the pet sterilization spray is atomized and basically tasteless. You can only smell a very light smell before you get along and disappear in a few seconds. Moreover, it can also remove odors and can be used directly as an air freshener to remove all kinds of odors in the house and in the car.
What should the frequency of household disinfection be?
In fact, the frequency of disinfection depends on the family's cat mouth condition. Generally, parents are recommended to disinfect cat supplies and environment every week (including water utensils, toys, toilets, nest pads or cages) without the outbreak of cat contagious menstruation. The disinfection frequency of multiple cat families should be increased, and it is best to do it twice a week or once every 2 days. The disinfection range should also be expanded to the floor and sofas where cats often lie on their sofas or even slippers. Family breeders should formulate stricter disinfection procedures. Because breeders often not only have a lot of cat mouths, but also often have weak resistance kittens appear at home.
How should various items and environments be disinfected?
① Water utensils, toys and toilets
should be discarded and the remaining cat food and litter should be cleaned thoroughly. And soak it in appropriate concentration of disinfectant water for more than 10 minutes, and then rinse it with clean water.
② Cat facilities and family facilities
For facilities such as cat climbing racks, wipe them clean with clean water, and then spray them with appropriate concentration of disinfectant. Finally, wipe off the disinfectant residue with clean water.
It is particularly important to note that fabrics (such as climbing racks, sofa cushions, cat nests and cat grab plates) are the most difficult to clean. Spraying a simple disinfectant is difficult to remove microorganisms (such as fungal spores) hidden inside, which requires soaking the disinfectant or soaking in boiling water.
③ Home environment disinfection
The floor should be wiped with appropriate concentration of disinfectant, and then wiped clean with clean water. For air and environment disinfection, spraying disinfectant is not obvious. Mainly recommended environmental disinfection equipment, ultraviolet lamps and ozone generators are good choices.
