At the beginning of 2020, people across the country were guarding against the invasion of the new coronavirus. In addition to masks, various disinfectants have also become essential New Year's goods. Currently, the most widely used disinfectant at home is alcohol and 84 disinfectant with a concentration of 75% concentration, but families with cats may not be suitable for conventional disinfection methods. So can cats smell 84 disinfectant? How to choose disinfectant for cats? Let’s learn more about it together.
Can cats smell 84 disinfectant?
Ingredients: The main ingredient is NaClO (sodium hypochlorite). It is a colorless or light yellow liquid, and has strong sterilization and disinfection effects, so it is also very irritating. It is widely used in sanitation and disinfection of hotels, tourism, hospitals, food processing industries, homes, etc., and has a bleaching effect.
Bleaching and disinfection principle: When CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the air is dissolved in NaClO solution, it can react with NaClO to obtain bleachable HClO (hypochlorous acid). Although HClO is weaker than carbonic acid, it has strong oxidation properties and can oxidize reducing substances, denature them, and play a role in disinfection.
The usage of most households is to use 84 disinfectant to disinfect the floor. For example, use 84 disinfectant to mop the floor or spray cat nests (it's a very wrong way, please don't do this).
After touching the floor, cats can easily inhale or lick the disinfectant ingredients, causing abdominal pain, drooling, and vomiting. Inhaling volatile chlorine gas may cause irritation and coughing and difficulty breathing in the lungs. The cat's foot pads also come into contact with the floor directly. If there is disinfectant residue on the ground, the highly alkaline disinfectant will also burn the skin, which will further burn the mouth and digestive tract when licking.
Conclusion: 84 disinfectant is very powerful, no matter whether you are a bacteria or a virus, it will all be oxidized. But it is also because of its strong nature, which makes it too irritating. For families with pets, please try to avoid using 84 disinfectant!
Don't let "disinfection" become "poisoning"! Although
84 is good, the cheap large bottles have good antivirus effects, but it is really not suitable for pet families!
