This is an interesting question that came in, that I hope readers may know more about than I do–
I am a dentist and have a purely academic query — which has a better antimicrobial spectrum: Chloroxylenol or Benzalkonium chloride?
I’ll have to try looking that up. As an anthropologist, I suspect the answer will be different depending on
— the type of organism targeted
— the intended use (hands? instruments? countertops?)
— ease or thoroughness of use
plus, whatever the chemistry shows.
Can anyone help?
