    This document discusses the differences between disinfectants and antiseptics. Disinfectants are toxic chemicals that destroy microorganisms and living tissue, and are used to sterilize inanimate objects. Antiseptics are less toxic substances that inhibit microbial growth, and are used to clean the skin and maintain sterility of instruments. The destructive power of disinfectants depends on their strength and length of use, while antiseptics prevent bacterial growth and multiplication.
