Complete guide: Sterisol - High-Level Ready-to-Use Disinfectant 1000ml - BOX 12 PCS
You have before you a professional ready-to-use (RTU) disinfectant, intended for surfaces and instruments, delivered in a pack of 12 bottles of 1000 ml — the right format for a studio that consumes consistently and does not want to run out. The manufacturer describes it as having a broad spectrum (bactericidal, yeasticidal/fungicidal, mycobactericidal, virucidal, and sporicidal), with proven efficacy on EN standards including on dirty surfaces, and a broad virucidal spectrum according to EN 14476. It is non-corrosive, non-staining, and non-discoloring, has low foaming, and allows cleaning and disinfection in a single step, without rinsing on surfaces. It is used where the result must be safe: clinics, hospitals, ambulances — and equally well, in the work area of a tattoo studio.
How to use
- First remove coarse dirt and visible residues (ink remnants, paper, used towels). Even if the formula remains effective under dirty conditions, a thick layer of residue still needs to be mechanically removed.
- Do not dilute the product and do not mix it with water or other substances — it is delivered ready-to-use, exactly at the concentration it needs to reach the surface.
- Apply it by spraying or on a clean cloth, then cover the entire surface evenly. Wetting must be complete: dry areas are simply not disinfected.
- Respect the contact time indicated by the manufacturer on the label and keep the surface wet for its entire duration. If it dries too quickly, reapply — wiping immediately after spraying cancels the effect.
- On surfaces, rinsing is not necessary. Let it dry naturally or wipe with a clean cloth at the end if moisture marks remain.
- For instruments, the product can be used including in ultrasonic baths. Ensure the parts are fully immersed and that no air bubbles remain in lumens or enclosed areas, then continue with the studio's reprocessing protocol.
- Between clients, treat everything that was touched: the work table, armrest and chair, lamp arm and handle, clip cord, machine body, ink bottles, water bottle, door and drawer handles.
- Record the disinfection in the studio's hygiene register — during an inspection, documented procedure matters as much as the product used.
Tips from us
- Keep one open bottle directly in the work area and the rest of the pack sealed in storage. A started bottle that gets lost in the studio is a bottle no one uses on time.
- Use clean cloths for each area and change them between clients. The same cloth moved around the studio spreads contamination instead of removing it.
- If you transfer the product into a spray bottle, label it clearly with the product name and the date of filling. Unlabeled bottles are a safety and control issue.
- The product has an alkaline pH (10.8 ±0.5), so do not combine it with acidic detergents or disinfectants — the mixture can neutralize their effect.
- On sensitive materials, painted plastics, or colored upholstery, test first on a small, hidden area, even if the formula is described as non-corrosive and non-staining.
- Store the bottles closed, in a cool place away from direct light, separate from inks, sterile consumables, and food. Check the expiration date before opening a new bottle from the pack.
Warning: This is a disinfectant for surfaces and instruments, not an antiseptic for skin — do not use it for preparing the tattoo area, for cleaning the tattoo during work, or on the client's skin. Wear gloves during repeated handling, work in a ventilated space, and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; the formula is described by the manufacturer as non-irritating under normal use conditions, but the alkaline pH requires respect. Do not mix it with other chemicals and do not transfer it into beverage containers. High-level disinfection does not replace autoclave sterilization where your protocol requires it, and needles, tubes, and disposable cartridges remain single-use, regardless of the disinfectant. Always read the manufacturer's label and technical data sheet for contact times and first aid measures.
Frequently asked questions
Should it be diluted with water before use?▾
No. It is a ready-to-use (RTU) product, meaning it already comes in the working concentration. If you dilute it, you reduce its effectiveness and can no longer guarantee the result declared by the manufacturer. Apply it directly from the bottle, by spraying or on a cloth.
Can I use it for instruments as well, not just for surfaces?▾
Yes, it is intended for both surfaces and instruments, including in ultrasonic baths. For reusable instruments, fully immerse the parts and then continue with the studio's reprocessing protocol, including the sterilization step where the procedure requires it.
Does it damage metal or stain studio surfaces?▾
The manufacturer describes it as non-corrosive, non-staining, and non-discoloring, precisely so it can be used repeatedly on instruments and furniture. However, for colored upholstery, painted plastics, or delicate finishes, the healthy habit remains the same: test first on a small, hidden area, and only then proceed to the entire surface.
Do I need to rinse after applying it?▾
On surfaces, rinsing is not necessary — that is why cleaning and disinfection can be done in a single step. Let the surface dry naturally after the contact time has passed. For instruments, follow your studio's reprocessing protocol, which may include additional rinsing and drying steps.
How often should I disinfect in the studio?▾
The practical rule is: between each client, on everything that was touched during the session, plus a full round at the beginning and end of the day. Frequently touched surfaces — handles, switches, lamp arm, reception keyboard — should also be wiped between sessions, even if they appear 'clean'.
Why should I buy a pack of 12 bottles instead of just one?▾
Because in an active studio, surface disinfectant is the consumable that runs out most discreetly and at the worst time — usually right before an appointment. The pack of 12 bottles of 1000 ml covers long periods and eliminates emergency orders. Keep one bottle in use, the rest sealed in storage, and check the expiration date as you open them.
