Germicidal compositions including a phthalaldehyde and methods of using such compositions for killing bacteria, disinfection, or sterilization, are disclosed. In one aspect, a germicidal composition may include a diluent, a germicidal compound, such as phthalaldehyde, and an amount of isophthalaldehyde to enhance the germicidal efficacy of the germicidal compound. In the case of phthalaldehyde, the composition may have a staining property that is less than a staining property of a composition consisting essentially of phthalaldehyde diluted to the same concentration. In another aspect, the composition may further include an amount of terephthalaldehyde to enhance the germicidal efficacy of the phthalaldehyde. In yet another aspect, a germicidal composition may include a diluent, phthalaldehyde, and a material such as isophthalaldehyde, terephthalaldehyde, or a combination of isophthalaldehyde and terephthalaldehyde, in order to reduce a staining property of the phthalaldehyde. |
