What is the basic difference between antiseptics and disinfectants?

 

Answers (1)

Antiseptics and disinfectants are very similar in their end purpose, but the path followed, and the target is different. Antiseptics are safe for living tissues, unlike disinfectants that are used on non-living substances. They both are antimicrobial, but antiseptics are used to prevent microbial growth on cuts and wounds, but the target of disinfectants are surfaces like floors and toilets to kill microbes.
