The most vital step in the disinfection of your equipment is proper pre-cleaning. It removes the initial dirt and grime or other matter which may have caused contamination of the equipment. Once pre-cleaned, all items should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water before disinfection.

A mild detergent such as regular baby shampoo or a liquid dishwashing detergent without moisturizers or anti-bacterial ingredients should be used to pre-clean the equipment. Do not use bar or liquid hand soap. After the pre-cleanse, rinse all of the items to be disinfected with fresh water and then immerse in the diluted Control III solution. The proper dilution ratio for disinfecting home care respiratory equipment or supplies is one ounce of Control III concentrate per one gallon of water.
