Using such products for sanitation and disinfection purpose are good. Along with it you have to check on human activity and visitors’ movement to avoid outbreak or spread of infection.

1. Virkon S
2. Hydrogen peroxide + Peracetic acid (e.g. Ox-Virin, CID 2000)
3. Lime (Calcium oxide / Hydrated lime)
4. Citric Acid.

For sustainable pen cleaning, consider using a blend of dish soap and water, or a specialized fountain pen cleaner.

For the most sustainable and effective pen disinfection, diluted hydrogen peroxide is a strong choice

There’s an extensive list of disinfectants based on region. The purpose and time when you need to use the disinfectant also determines what works. Between batches or during the rearing period. I use Virkon-S between batches
