    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    When I worked in daycare centres, the standard was to disinfect once every week. This only increased if there was an outbreak of something like pink eye, hand, foot and mouth, etc. I worked in 1 place that used Dettol and water solution but were told by an inspector to use bleach and water. Personally, I don't like the bleach solution. It ruins your clothes, can be hard on toys and if it drips on your soft furnishings or carpet, you get some lovely blotches. Plus, my skin reacts to it big time. I use Dettol. It smells like pine, my sickness rate is reasonably low and I feel that, if you follow the instructions, it has good disinfecting power. Dettol is used in hospitals so, frankly, if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.

    Hope that helps
