Description
Septol Antiseptic Disinfectant Liquid
Septol Antiseptic Disinfectant is a common household and medical-grade antiseptic liquid widely available in Nigeria, often used as a direct alternative to brands like Dettol or Savlon. It is a multi-purpose product that serves both personal hygiene and household disinfection needs.
🌟 Key Features & Benefits
Septol is valued for its effective germicidal action and versatility around the home and for first aid.
Active Ingredients: The primary active ingredients are often Para Chloro Meta Xylenol (PCMX), similar to Dettol, or Benzalkonium Chloride (in some “Benzyl Septol” variants). These agents provide a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Non-Poisonous & Non-Staining: It is formulated as a non-staining germicide, meaning it is safe to use for general cleaning and won’t leave noticeable stains.
Effective Disinfection: Kills a wide range of germs, helping to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
Dual Use: It serves two main roles:
Antiseptic: Used for personal hygiene and first aid.
Disinfectant: Used for general household cleaning.
📝 Common Uses (Must be Diluted)
Septol is sold as a concentrated liquid and must be diluted with water before use.
