Abstract
A kit of articles and a method are provided, for disinfection of an object suspect of being infected. The kit contains a list of instructions for guiding an untrained user to operate chemical disinfection in a manner safe to both user and environment. The kit also contains a disinfectant and a container which is sealingly closeable and openable, for receiving therein both the disinfectant and the object. The disinfection is achieved by insertion of the disinfectant together with the object in the container, then closing the container and waiting for a delay of time before opening the container to retrieve the disinfected object. The disinfectant is sodium dichloro-isocyanurate, or is selected from the group of chlorine compounds, ammonium salts, oxidants, and oxidizing agents.
