        Frequently Asked Questions

        Can I use Dettol Antiseptic Liquid on open wounds?

        Yes, Dettol Antiseptic Liquid can be used on minor open wounds such as cuts, scratches, and insect bites—but it’s important that you dilute it first before applying to the skin.

        To use safely, mix 1 part Dettol with 20 parts water (for example, 5 mL of Dettol in 100 mL of water). Apply the diluted solution to the affected area using a clean cotton pad or cloth. This helps cleanse the wound and reduce the risk of infection without irritating the skin.

        Avoid using undiluted Dettol directly on open wounds, as it may cause stinging or skin sensitivity. If you’re treating deep or serious wounds, always seek advice from a healthcare professional.

        Is this antiseptic solution suitable for use on pets or animal bedding?

        No, Dettol Antiseptic Liquid is not suitable for direct use on pets. It contains Chloroxylenol (4.8% w/v), which can be toxic to animals, particularly cats, if absorbed through the skin or ingested during grooming.

        If you need to disinfect animal bedding, you may use a highly diluted solution on washable items, but it must be thoroughly rinsed and completely dried before your pet uses it again. For any direct use on pets or their skin, always consult a veterinarian and use products specifically formulated for animals.

        Does Dettol stain clothing or fabric?

        Dettol Antiseptic Liquid may stain certain fabrics—especially if used undiluted or on light-coloured materials. Its formulation can sometimes leave yellow or brown marks on fabric if not diluted properly or rinsed out thoroughly.

        To avoid staining:

        • Always dilute Dettol as recommended before using it on clothing or linens.
        • Spot test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
        • When using in laundry, add to the rinse cycle (not directly on dry fabric).
        • Rinse thoroughly and avoid prolonged contact with delicate materials.
