Precautionary measures

When working with concentrated liquid, it is imperative to adhere to safety precautions. The composition must not be taken orally. If this happens, you need to use activated carbon and drink plenty of fluids. The composition should not come into contact with the skin and mucous membranes, as it can cause redness and irritation.

In this case, it is recommended to rinse off the product with water and soak the skin with moisturizer. If the drug gets into your eyes, you will need to rinse them under running water and then treat them with 2 drops of sodium sulfacyl.

Since the liquid is suitable for processing manicure tools, it is advisable to use a 5% or 8% solution. Be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging. This is explained by the fact that for any chemical sterilizing drug it will be different.

Before diluting the concentrate, your hands should be protected with rubber gloves. When immersing a manicure tool in a disinfectant solution, it is recommended to use a container with a sealed lid.

If the rules for using the solution are violated, corrosion may appear on the metal surface. As a result, you will need to buy a new tool. The disinfectant should be stored separately from other medical compounds.

Analogs

Instead of Alaminol, you can use its analogues, which are used for processing manicure equipment:

• Anolyte is neutral. The liquid is colorless or transparent and has a chlorine odor. The composition copes well with the destruction of bacteria, viruses, and is also characterized by an anti-mold effect. It differs from Alaminol in that the finished solution can be used only once a day. If the composition remains, it needs to be poured out. The cost of the drug with a volume of 500 ml is approximately 245 rubles.
• Virkon. Presented in the form of a high quality powder, which must be diluted with distilled water. It copes well with various bacteria and viruses. It is also used in medical institutions for the purpose of processing furniture, equipment, instruments and premises. For dilution, a 1% or 2% solution is often used. When prepared, the drug is stored for 24 hours. The price for 350 g of powder reaches 279 rubles.
• Presept. Acts as granular tablets that need to be diluted with water. To do this, you will need to dissolve 1 tablet of 2.5 g in 2.5 liters of liquid. The diluted product can be stored in a hermetically sealed container for 5 days. The composition has a wide spectrum of effects, therefore it is suitable for eliminating various infections (for example, hepatitis B). The cost of the product reaches 1,385 rubles.

Similar compositions are inferior in properties to Alaminol. Therefore, the latter is considered the market leader.

Alaminol is used to maintain cleanliness and disinfection of manicure instruments. To do this, the composition is diluted in the required amount of water. Processing of instruments is required to ensure that no contamination occurs during the procedure.

2. If the drug penetrates the eyeball, the eyes should be rinsed very quickly with warm water, and then a couple of drops of sodium sulfacyl should be instilled.
