The Top Disinfectant Cleaner

Door knobs, toilets seats, the bedroom light switch, and everything in your house including the kitchen sink are probably filled with germs. Bacterias and viruses are all crawling around you and you don't even know it. Fortunately for you there are a few commercial disinfectants that can help you fight off disease and sleep at night knowing you're not about to be attacked by a cold virus or interrupted during your sleep by a stomach flu.
Not many sites out there provide a product listing of top disinfectant cleaners but WebMD has provided an article summarizing studies analyzing which disinfectant is more effective on various bacterias such as Salmonella, E.Coli, and the polio-virus. Lysol and Clorox disinfectants proved to be more effective than other brands such as Mr. Clean based on their effect on 99.9% of the bacteria and viruses that were tested. On the other hand, a study conducted by Mercer University students tested several disinfectants on colonies of bacteria and proved that Ajax was the most effective, Lysol coming in a close second.

Although both results differed, one brand of disinfectant seems to be pretty effective. So the Top Disinfectants are:
  1. Lysol
  2. Ajax
  3. Clorox  
My Personal Top Disinfectant Cleaner: Lysol
I've been using Lysol for years in protecting my house from any bacteria and viruses that could be lingering around. Prior to reading up on which disinfectant is the top disinfectant, I used Lysol because the brand name has become synonymous with disinfection for years. Especially with their claim that it kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, I can't go with any other disinfectant.
