Not all antiseptics are good: how to distinguish a good disinfectant from a useless one

click fraud protection

Because of all this virus hype, questionable brands of masks, antiseptics and disinfectant wipes have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The manufacturers are unknown. Moreover, some of them are engaged in clandestine production and are very familiar, for example, to webmasters.

Let me show you a small example of what dubious manufacturers offer to advertise to webmasters.

The example above is the price for 5 masks and a small bottle of antiseptic, for which there is neither a certificate of state registration, nor a declaration of conformity. And all for 2190 rubles. Below in the picture you will see that it is forbidden to advertise such an offer on Instagram, because it is one of the few social networks that fights against such cynical advertisers. The webmaster who will advertise this offer receives 550 rubles. A naive buyer when asked: "Why is it so expensive?" - the call center will answer that the price of raw materials has risen, gasoline has grown in price and blah blah blah.

An important rule of how not to run into scammers or obscure manufacturers of antiseptics, disinfecting wipes and masks

Never! Remember! Never buy antiseptics (like any product) on one-page sites (this is a site with only one product). They are all the same type and recognizable:

  • huge discount (from 50% and more);
  • timer "Until the end of the promotion ..." (time will pass and nothing will change);
  • the data entry field consists of "Full name" and "Phone number", which the call center operator will call you, and will offer a second set for a friend / family and shame you in every way for not being able to pay that kind of money per bullshit goods of inadequate quality.

How many stories have already been with such dark producers, they even turned to the prosecutor's office, no sense. The only option: order by cash on delivery and do not redeem the goods, such cunning people will add your number to the black list and will never deal with you.

All these horror stories by SMS, they say, if you do not redeem the goods, then you will be fined and you will pay a forfeit - a standard bogey script that increases the redemption of such goods. Such sms with threats of a fine are afraid of naive grandmothers, but in fact, no one will fine you: they just send you such a product that it is more expensive for advertisers to buy it back:-)

What to look for before buying antiseptics and other disinfectants

Do not hesitate to ask the manufacturer or seller for the following documents, which you must provide:

- instructions for use;

- certificate of state registration;

- declaration of conformity.

You can check the state registration of the funds on the website National reference and analytical portal about disinfectants registered on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The site is useful, but unfortunately, no information is updated quickly. So, for example, I did not find anything on Domix antiseptics, for which the stores have permission from Rospotrebnadzor. So it will not be superfluous to check the funds in Register of certificates of state registration.

What should be in the composition of means for disinfection and prevention of diseases caused by the virus, Rospotrebnadzor in January listed everything in instructions.

Be careful before purchasing antiseptics and disinfectant wipes. There are enough of them for everyone so that dubious manufacturers do not speak there.
