Hi
Today i used VirkonS (10g/L of water) in a spray bottle in clean around where food and water is kept in cages. It gave off a very strong odour which I can still smell two hours later. Are my birds going to be safe overnight with such a strong odour?

Virkon S is completely safe...I use it regularly

Strange that you can still smell it after 2 hours. Has it dried? I have it in a small 500mL spray bottle and use all the time. I can't detect much of a smell at all. Are you sure you mixed it correctly? Roughly 2 teaspoons to 1 litre of water.

Yes the smell has gone. I was a bit worried at first with such a strong odour I thought I might have done something wrong. I did do 2 teaspoon to 1L but I really squirted on heavily. I usually use Aviclens but was out and only had the VirkonS.
Thanks for your help.
