  • Disinfectants are non-selective antimicrobials. 
  • They kill a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria. 
  • They are used on non-living surfaces for example, floors, instruments, sanitary ware, etc. 
  • Various phenols can be used as disinfectants. 

e.g.,

p-Chloro-o-benzyl phenol is used as a disinfectant in all-purpose cleaners.
