Disinfecting unit after cat 3 extratction?

[Bucey]

What are the correct procedures for disinfection my wand, hoses, and waste tank after a cat 3 extraction? What product should I use? Thanks

First clean the surfaces using conventional hard surface cleaner until free of all visible and apparent contamination until reasonabley clean.
Then use an economical disinfection agent, such as Fiberlok IAQ 2000 per the label instructions applied by liberal wiping, direct application, and spraying, where applicable. IAQ 2000 is fairly inexpensive, but still rather highly concentrated at 2 oz per gallon.

The important part is to use the disinfection product in a manner consistent with the label procedures, which are not that complex, but inappropriate to detail here.

Ryan, I use Sporicidin when I wipe my stuff down. I keep some mixed in a spray bottle for just such occasions. Also comes in quite handy when needing to disinfect other surfaces, too.

should i run some thru the inside of my hoses. can i buy some at any retail store. I do have some Microban Plus. was going to use this, sounds like the same stuff. thanks

 

[John Olson]

Microban will work. Shawn mentioned IAQ 2000 because it is very cost effective. IAQ 2000 is $18.20 gl and makes 64 gallons. Microban you use straight, for your application I would go ahead and dilute it 50/50.
