Disinfection: is a process that results in the destruction of most pathogens, but not necessarily their spots. Common methods of disinfection include the use of alcohol wipes, a hexachlorophene or chlorohexidine gluconate soap scrub, or povidone-iodine scrub to kill microorganisms on the skin.
Stronger disinfectants include phenol and mercury bichoride, which are too strong to be used on living tissue. Boiling can be used to disinfect in animate objects. However, it does not destroy all microorganisms or spores.
