Abstract
Cleaning products have been used from time immemorial to remove dirt and odour for cosmetic or medical reasons.
These products encompass a wide range of products. This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity; including sensitivity and kill
kinetics study, of Ariel detergent, Morning fresh liquid soaps, B 29 soap, Dettol cool medicated soap and Dettol hand sanitizer.
Ariel was the most active against the selected bacteria probably because harsher ingredients are incorporated in its formulation,
since it is used on inanimate objects. This was followed by Morning fresh for the above same reasons. Surprisingly, Dettol cool
mediated soap and Dettol hand sanitizer had little activity or no against the selected bacteria. B 29 had no activity against all the
bacteria.
