Question 1

What are all the exact ingredients in this product?

Accepted Answer

This is the exact same ingredients as the Seventh Generation mulit-surface disinfectant cleaner sold next to Clorox cleanup in Walmart, etc

Seventh Generation spray bottle ingredients:
Thymol .05%
Other ingredients 99.95%
Sodium laurel sulfate
Copper sulfate pentahydrate
Citric acid
Sodium citrate
Essential oil fragrance

Question 2

What is the difference between regular Benefact and this Decon30?

Accepted Answer

Benefect Decon 30 has surfactants in it so it is better at surface cleaning and penetrating stains.  It is also great as a hand sanitizer when put in a foaming dispenser.  It is a clear solution and does not need to be mixed or shaken before use.  It contains 0.05% of the active disinfectant ingredient, Thymol.Benefect Botanical Disinfectant does not clean the same way, it only disinfects.  It has a much higher percentage of Thymol at 0.23%.  It also needs to be swirled/shaken before use as the milky ingredients tend to float to the top.

Question 3

Do you dilute or use full strength

Accepted Answer

I use full strength in a clinical setting.  If you need disinfection use it full strength.  The less concentrated benefect is more like lysol in that you need 10min. of wet contact time.   If you just need good cleaning, use something else.

Question 4

That's great that 0.05% of the ingredients are listed, but what constitutes the other 99.95%?

Accepted Answer

This product is registered with the EPA, so you can use the registration number on the SDS (found on the Benefect website) to find their EPA filing and the full, detailed list of ingredients along with the purpose for each ingredient.
According to the EPA website, this product contains:
thymol (present as a component of thyme and oregano oils), water, sodium lauryl sulfate, xanthan gum, citric acid, lactic acid, sodium citrate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, and essential oils for fragrance.
