1. Comparison of common playground toy disinfection methods

| Disinfection method | Applicable materials | Sterilization rate | security | cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% alcohol | plastic/metal | 99.9% | Flammable, need to avoid fire sources | low |
| Hypochlorous acid disinfectant | Most materials | 99.99% | Non-toxic and no residue | in |
| UV disinfection | All materials | 99.9% | Requires professional equipment | high |
| Steam sterilization | High temperature resistant material | 99.99% | High temperature burn risk | Middle to high |
2. Ranking of recently searched disinfection products
| Ranking | Product name | Main ingredients | Hot search index |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hypochlorous acid disinfectant for infants and young children | Hypochlorous acid (HClO) | 985,000 |
| 2 | Portable UV disinfection box | UVC ultraviolet rays | 762,000 |
| 3 | Food grade alcohol wipes | 75% ethanol | 658,000 |
| 4 | Nano silver ion spray | Nanosilver | 423,000 |
3. Disinfection solutions recommended by experts
1.Daily disinfection:It is recommended to use hypochlorous acid disinfectant (concentration 80-100ppm). After spraying, let it sit for 1 minute. No need to wipe twice. It is especially suitable for common toys such as plastic building blocks and rocking horses.
2.Deep disinfection:Using ultraviolet disinfection lamp for 30 minutes every week can effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria. Please make sure that no one is present during the irradiation.
3.Special material:It is recommended to use a steam sterilizer for plush toys. The temperature must reach above 100°C for 10 minutes, which can both sterilize and remove mites.
4. Five disinfection issues that parents are most concerned about
| question | Professional answers |
|---|---|
| What should I do if my toys become sticky after disinfection? | Due to incomplete evaporation of alcohol, use hypochlorous acid disinfectant without residue. |
| How often is disinfection appropriate? | High-touch toys once a day, other toys 2-3 times a week |
| Will disinfecting damage the toys? | Avoid using bleach to soak, and liquid disinfection is prohibited for electronic toys |
| Do I need to rinse after disinfection? | Food-grade disinfectants do not need to be rinsed, ordinary disinfectants need to be wiped with clean water |
| How to judge the disinfection effect? | Using ATP fluorescence detector, the value is <30RLU as qualified |
5. Latest Disinfection Technology Trends
1.Photocatalyst disinfection:Titanium dioxide is used to produce strong oxidizing substances under light to achieve a sustained sterilization effect. There are currently pilot applications in playgrounds.
2.Plasma disinfection:Killing microorganisms through low-temperature plasma is particularly suitable for electronic toys. A home version is expected to be launched next year.
3.Intelligent disinfection robot:Some high-end playgrounds have been equipped with automatic cruise disinfection robots that can monitor the number of bacteria in real time and disinfect at designated locations.
Conclusion:When choosing a disinfection method for playground toys, sterilization effect, safety and operability should be considered comprehensively. It is recommended to give priority to the use of special disinfection products for infants and young children registered with the National Health Commission, and to establish a regular disinfection record system to create a safe and hygienic play environment for children.
