The bottle says it cleans and disinfects. What is the "disinfecting" ingredient/method?

Saponified organic oils of coconut, olive and jojoba oils are the ingredients. Saponification is a process in which the oils are separated in to water and glycerin (such as in soap making). That's all that I'm aware of. Contact the company if you need further information regarding the process. The "disinfectant" are essential oils. Hope this helps.

Lily Grace provided you with what I believe is the best response to your question. Whatever your reservations may be I have found this product to be worth every penny. It cleans well, leaves an extremely light pleasant fragrance and does not irritate my skin :-)

This is what I have read in their instructions. It is 35% H2O2 in a quart size container. To use as a veggie wash or disinfectant, you need to dilute it down to 3% in the following manner. Please wear gloves, it WILL burn your skin (and you know how I know that!) Take 1oz (one ounce) of 35% and mix it into 11oz (eleven ounces) of DISTILLED WATER. Now you can wash any fruit/veggie, use it on counter tops, or you can use it topically on your skin or make a paste with a little of 3% & baking soda and brush your teeth & tongue! Works GREAT! I don't use toothpaste anymore, this is better. Hope this helps.

I rinse mine in warm water,then run a vinegar,thyme oil,citrus oil mix through then rinse again,hang to dry. Seventh generation makes a disinfecting surface cleaner that's basically the same as my home made stuff. These cleaners are safe if you don't rinse it all out,leaves tubes smelling like nothing. No cleaner smell,no milk smell,no vinegar smell. You could probably do just vinegar, I just find the mix or the seventh generation,helps clean as well as disinfect as where vinegar sometimes can't do oily stuff like cream in milk. We are very happy with this milker, and the ease of use

This is my take on how you should clean the bottles. It's based on my experiences working in labs while earning a BS in chemistry. If the bottles have already already had liquid or something else in them, then I'd do steps 1-3. If you're getting them new, then you can probably get away with steps 2-3. 1) Clean with hot water, dilute liquid soap, and a bottle brush like http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Bottle-Express-Cleaning-Bottles/dp/B0056KQ07Q/ref=sr_1_11?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418853729&sr=1-11&keywords=bottle+brush or http://www.amazon.com/Lixit-Bottle-Tube-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B001B1QG78/ref=sr_1_10?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418853729&sr=1-10&keywords=bottle+brush. Then rinse. 2) Desanitize with Star San (http://www.amazon.com/Star-San-Sanitizer-4-oz/dp/B00E5MXGKK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418853558&sr=8-4&keywords=star+san) 3) Rinse with hot water until suds free. Then rinse again, two more times with cold water (because it's cleaner than hot water which typically will carry water heater sediment). Then, rinse a final time with filtered or deionized water.

I clean mine with just soap and water. Have also placed it in a lingerie bag and thrown it in with cold water laundry. I am not aware of any antimicrobial properties.

All you have to do is mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle. It's a great cleaner!

The spray is like a small hand-held shower head attached to a hose. The head is molded to a wand with a on-off button. The combination head/wand can be unscrewed from the hose. I don't use it; my woman does. I assume only the water comes in contact with the body. If you want to to disinfect the head, perhaps wiping it with a germicide like hibiclens would be a way to clean it. BTW, it is a nice device and reliable. My woman is happy with it and uses it all the time.

The ingredients listed on the bottle are: Purified water, biodegradable surfactant blend, no VoCs, no solvents, no alcohol. Works surprisingly well.

you wash it. (thats what I do) or for multiple uses you can give a light pray with a hospital grade disinfectant.

The active ingredient deodorizes by oxidizing the offensive substances; therefore, it will also act as a sanitizer or disinfectant.

"Directions: Use only on clean surfaces. For best results use 303 Multi-Surface cleaner" this is what is says on bottle.

i think just the smell. but if you read the label of this product it should tell you what it does. most i think it says that it reduces harmful bacterias and chemicals but not remove. again, pls double check the label about what it claims. regards

God, no! It contains ammonia, you'll end up with disinfected ammonia water. I believe it is the ammonia which "decolorizes" it. The bottle contains elemental iodine (which is red), potassium iodide (colorless), water (colorless), alcohol and ammonia. The ammonia will react with the elemental iodine to form ammonium iodide, a clolorless substance. The resulting combination is colorless, aka "decolorized".

If you smell the bottle at full concentrate, it has a somewhat vinegary cleaning scent. That is the closest I could describe it. It is NOT fragrance like in laundry soap. It is not very strong and given it is not caustic like bleach, it is a great way to sanitize your home, car, etc. The instructions on the bottle actually talk about killing viruses found in hospitals. I am using it to kill distemper from some feral cats I was helping find communities to relocate in. Distemper can stick around for years if not disinfected.

Nope, this isn't a disinfectant (such products are always labeled as having that attribute). My view is that FDA and CDC think that we're using too many antibacterial agents in our household cleaning products as it is, so I don't use such products in most situations (soap will kill most bacteria). OTH if you have a biohazard type situation at home (eg bodily fluids) you may want to use a disinfectant to clean up that particular mess.

Use a baby bottle cleaner. It has a small tip for the bite valve and a brush head for the bottle. Works great!

No, its is not that kind of disinfectant it is used to slow the growth of pathogens associated with the beer making process while promoting yeast so as you can see if it doesnt kill everything your better off boiling or using more traditional methods
