The salon disinfectant that is capable of destroying viruses:

• A. Tuberculocidal
• B. Fungicidal
• C. Virucidal
• D. Bactericidal

Answer: (C)

Virucidal describes a product that destroys viruses, which is exactly what you need when you want to prevent viral transmission on tools and surfaces. In disinfection, different terms show what organisms a product can kill: bactericidal targets bacteria, fungicidal targets fungi, and tuberculocidal targets the tuberculosis-causing organism. Only virucidal indicates effectiveness against viruses, including those that can be transmitted in a salon setting. EPA-registered disinfectants with a virucidal claim have been tested to inactivate viruses, so choosing a virucidal product ensures viruses are addressed, not just bacteria or fungi.
