A member asked:
Does dettol and poiled water kill streptococcus and all kind of fungus and bacteria from underwear?should i get new under wear after vaginal infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Since this is used to disinfect surgical instruments & other items it should do a good job if used at reasonable concentration. Bacteria & fungi have specific requirements for survival & this treatment and subsequent drying are quite effective in killing them.
