Quote: I’m pretty sure that ethanol in sani wipes is used as a soluble liquid for the actual killing agent.
but I don’t know if sani wipe is generic name.
My company utilizes Celeste Corp Sani-Coms.

The msds (material safety data sheet) is linked below and ethanol is the only chemical listed. There is no other "killing anent".

Some wipes may have benzalkonium chloride. Don't get me started on those 🙃. Ethanol would not be formulated with benzalkonium chloride (bzk). Sometimes isopropyl alcohol is formulated with Alkyl C12-18 Dimethyl benzyl Ammonium chloride and Alkyl C12-18 Dimethyl Ethylbenzyl Ammonium chloride and very effective. If your really worried about sanitizing your flight deck find those from a medical supply company, if you can right now. At the end of the day there is no way your going to make a flight deck sterile and just wasting your time

I would not used the Clorox ones that contain bleach in the flight deck.


As far as "killing agents in soaps and other products, see the following technical paper from the FDA. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water

Wash your hands with soap and water, don't touch your face, stay out of work if your ill, especially if you have a fever.
