A disinfectant composition for killing parasites and invasive durable forms of parasites is made from a disinfection agent concentrate or mixture containing one or more phenols, preferably 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, in combination with one or more keratolytically acting organic acids, preferably formic acid, salicylic acid, and/or thioglycolic acid, as active disinfectant ingredients; a solvent ingredient including one or more ethylene glycol dialkyl ether of the formula H 3 CO(CH 2 --CH 2 --O) n CH 3 wherein n=1 to 8 and, optionally, alcohols having 2 to 4 carbon atoms and polyethylene or polypropylene glycol; one or more anionic surfactants which can be sodium or potassium alkyl sulfonates or sulfates, having independently, primary or secondary chains of from 8 to 18 carbon atoms with or without n-alkyl-aryl sulfonates or their potassium or sodium salts having n-alkyl groups with from 10 to 13 carbon atoms; and, optionally, nonylphenol polyglycol ether ethoxylated with from 2 to 18 Mol of ethylene oxide. |
