Which properties are a must for salon disinfectants?

Bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal
Perfumed and colored
Viscous and opaque
Organic and natural

The correct answer is: Bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal

Salon disinfectants must have bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal properties in order to effectively kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as perfumes and colors are not necessary for disinfection, viscosity and opacity does not indicate efficacy, and organic and natural products do not guarantee disinfectant properties. Other properties to consider for salon disinfectants may include their ability to penetrate dirt and grime, their non-corrosive nature, and their contact time for effective disinfection.
