Viral epidemics develop from the emergence of new variants of infectious viruses.
The lack of effective antiviral treatments for the new viral infections coupled
with rapid community spread of the infection often result in major human and
financial loss. Viral transmissions can occur via close human-to-human contact or
via contacting a contaminated surface. Thus, careful disinfection or sanitization
is essential to curtail viral spread. A myriad of disinfectants/sanitizing
agents/biocidal agents are available that can inactivate viruses, but their
effectiveness is dependent upon many factors such as concentration of agent,
reaction time, temperature, and organic load. In this work, we review common
commercially available disinfectants agents available on the market and evaluate
their effectiveness under various application conditions. In addition, this work
also seeks to debunk common myths about viral inactivation and highlight new
exciting advances in the development of potential sanitizing agents.
