Surfactant disinfection This type of disinfectant usually includes Xinjielm, Dumefen (disinfection) and chlorhexidine. The general concentration for skin disinfection is: 1% for Xinjielmide, 0.5% for Du Mifen, and 0.05% for chlorhexidine. Among them, chlorhexidine has the strongest bactericidal effect. It is still effective when pus and blood exist, and has little toxicity and irritation. It is an ideal disinfectant. The above three disinfectants can be used in pets' "medicine baths".
