Is Dettol a disinfectant spray? (Core technical question)

Dettol does indeed have a range of disinfectant spray products. While most people are familiar with the brown disinfectant liquid, Dettol actually has an entire "spray family."
Below is a detailed introduction to the features and common uses of Dettol disinfectant sprays:

1. Main Types of Dettol Disinfectant Sprays

Dettol's spray products are not just a single type, and are usually divided into the following series:
All-purpose/Multi-surface Disinfectant Spray: This is the most common type of spray. It can be sprayed on hard surfaces like tables, as well as soft surfaces like sofas, carpets, or mattresses. Its biggest feature is that it doesn't require wiping; simply spray and let it air dry.
Kitchen Disinfectant Spray: This spray enhances the **grease-removing** ability in addition to its disinfecting properties. It specifically targets grease and grime in the kitchen while eliminating potential bacteria.
Surface Cleaning Spray (Aerosol or Trigger Spray): Some come in metal cans like sunscreen sprays, producing a fine mist; others have a hand-held trigger spray head, suitable for large-area cleaning and wiping.

2. Why is it so effective?

"Spray and clean" convenience: Traditional Dettol disinfectant requires diluting with water, soaking, or wiping with a cloth, while the disinfectant spray is ready to use right out of the bottle, making it ideal for disinfecting small items like delivery packages, doorknobs, and shoe soles.
Wide range of applications: It can be used on many objects that cannot be washed with water. For example, your fabric sofa, curtains, or children's plush toys can be protected by spraying a fine mist.
Variety of scents: Compared to the strong "medicinal" smell of traditional disinfectants, the sprays usually have lemon, lavender, or fresh linen scents, leaving your home smelling better after use.

3. Precautions during use

To get the best results from the disinfectant spray, here are a few tips:
Maintain a moderate distance: When spraying, don't hold it too close. Maintain a distance of about a hand's length to half an arm's length (approximately 15-20 cm) so that the mist is evenly distributed and doesn't leave surfaces excessively wet.
Give it some time: After spraying, do not wipe it off immediately. The disinfectant needs a short contact time with the air and surfaces to effectively eliminate germs. For most objects, letting it air dry after spraying is best.
Avoid special materials: Although it's very versatile, it's best to test it on an inconspicuous area first for delicate materials (such as polished wood furniture, genuine leather, or easily faded silk) to avoid leaving marks.

4. The difference between this and brown disinfectant liquid

Simply put, brown disinfectant liquid is "concentrated" and suitable for diluting with water for general cleaning, laundry, or mopping; while disinfectant spray is "ready-to-use" and suitable for quick protection anytime, anywhere.
