The pandemic is affecting all aspects of healthcare, not the least of which is the increased disinfection of facilities and equipment.

At Magenta Health, we use Health Canada approved hospital grade, non-toxic disinfectants to disinfect exam rooms and equipment after each patient visit.

We’ve been asked sporadically if our disinfectant can cause stains on clothing. The answer is: we’re not really sure – maybe with certain fabrics and in certain situations?

We’ve done some testing ourselves and were not able reproduce the staining. We’ve checked the manufacturer label and with our supplier to confirm that the disinfectants are generally fabric and colour safe. That being said, with all the different types of fabrics out there and the increased use of disinfectants at the clinic, it is possible that certain fabrics might be affected in certain instances.

Just be aware when you attend an in-person appointment that there may be a slight chance of your clothing possibly being affected in some way so you may wish to not wear your top-end designer bottoms!
