Solution

Dear student,

DISINFECTANT DEODORANT
Disinfectant is an agent meant to destroy the microorganisms(bacteria,fungi or viruses) present on the surface of non-living objects.
Mainly used on house-hold items to remove any kind of germs present on their surface and avoid their spread.
Disinfectants are also added to water for purifying it.
Deodorant is a substance which is applied to the body to prevent the body odour caused by bacterial breakdown of perspiration at various regions of the body.
Not meant to be applied on the body surfaces. Can be applied directly on the body.
