Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) are effective against many types of bacteria and viruses, but they are generally not reliable for killing spores, such as those from bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Spores have a tough protective coating that makes them resistant to many disinfectants, including quats. For effective spore elimination, products containing hydrogen peroxide, bleach, or specific sporicidal agents are recommended. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific efficacy claims.
