Environmental contamination is significant is the transmission of several crucial healthcare-associated infectious agents that cause disease or illness. This contamination can be from body fluids including blood, semen, and saliva. Procedures such as body piercing can get contaminated and need special aftercare spray. Especially in a medical setting, these patient rooms need to be bleach, alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. An air purifier captures up to 99% of mold spores, pollen, pet dander, smoke and dust. Environmental contamination is significant in the transmission of many crucial infectious agents that cause disease or illness. This contamination can be from body fluids including blood, semen, and saliva. Procedures such as body piercing can get contaminated and need special disinfectants. There are many disinfectants for home use and they contain ingredients such as alcohol, chlorine bleach, pine oil, or phenolic compounds
Most studies have found that a hydrogen peroxide dry-mist disinfection system is substantial
A study by the National Reference Laboratory for Clostridium difficile, Hôpital Saint-Antoine in Paris found that hydrogen peroxide is significantly more effective than 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution at eradicating C. difficile spores and might represent a new alternative for disinfecting the rooms of patients with C. difficile infection.
At the Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut states that after cleaning, with a new hydrogen peroxide wipe, 99% of surfaces yielded less than 2.5 colony-forming units/cm(2), 75% yielded no growth, and 70% yielded adenosine triphosphate counts of less than 250 relative light units. The new disinfectant was highly effective.
The Hospital Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina Health Care System in Chapel Hill, North Carolina agrees that room decontamination units (such as ultraviolet-C and hydrogen peroxide systems) aid in reducing environmental contamination after terminal room cleaning and disinfection.
The Journal of Clinical Microbiology also stated that dried inocula of a range of nosocomial pathogens survived on surfaces for several weeks but were rapidly inactivated by hydrogen peroxide vapor in a 100-m3 (100 cubic meter size) room. Hydrogen peroxide vapor has a potential role in decontaminating surfaces and equipment contaminated with such organisms.

Not hard to make your own effective disinfectant
At the University of North Carolina, School of Medicine in the Department of Hospital Epidemiology assessed the efficacy of many household disinfectants and found that a variety of commercial household disinfectants were highly effective against potential bacterial pathogens. The commercial household disinfectants are more effective than the natural products. Only Clorox and Lysol disinfectant were effective against poliovirus.All that is needed is a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution which is the most promising disinfectant against P. multocida, which the Yonsei Medical Journal has found.
