SaffanZimbo Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 We need to clean our bikes, shoes, playhouse, tools etc but don't want the smell of Jeyes!! Is there another approved disinfectant we can use?? We have heard of Virkon S - has anyone used this / is it easy to use and more importantly passes MAPF inspections??

Weedolly Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 This obsession with Jeyes is a load of nonsense!!! There is absolutely no need for it or any other disinfectant. I have ping pomed twice including shipping the furniture and never once used anything other than soap and water to clean anything. Give everything a good wash with hot soapy water, especially your bike as they will more than likely inspect that. All I done with a road bike was to make sure I had cleaned all traces of mud off, especially under the mud guards etc. Give the tyres a good scrub with a nail brush/toothbrush and hot soapy water. Passed no problem and our shipment included bikes, playhouse, tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oh I love the smell of Jeyes in the morning...........................not...........................we do it just to pi$$ AQIS off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 we just scrubbed our stuff, didn't dissinfect anything as my local shop didn't have any Jeyes and I couldn't be bothered to drive the 7 miles to go and get some. Nothing said by customs at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 This all started with the shippers & AQIS, somewhere in the AQIS guidance literature it does actually state that anything that it used outdoors should be cleaned using an approved disinfectant, then it goes on to list them, then the shippers give you guidance material based on the the AQIS guidance material and actually names Jeyes fluid, I know I did it based on PSS literature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odies Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 if I leave my husband alone to clean he uses zoflora everywhere, it is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffanZimbo Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 We'll deep clean bikes, outdoor playhouse etc. The Jeyes notion fills me with dread of everything being closed in the container smelling like jeyes for every. Container arrives on 23rd September - starting to get a tad nervous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
