The invention relates to a virucidal composition comprising based on the composition from 80 to 99 wt-% of a C-Cmonoalcohol or a mixture thereof, from 0.1 to lower 2 wt-% of an organic acid, from 0.1 to 1 wt-% of an alkoxylated monoglyceride and/or alkoxylated diglyceride, wherein the pH value of the composition is from pH 3.3 to 5 and the remainder up to 100 wt-% is water. The invention further describes a method of inactivating viruses, and a product comprising the virucidal composition and means for applying it.

Virucidal composition

The liquid composition is based on surfactants and enzymes, and is particularly useful for manual cleaning of instruments. In manual and ultrasonic application the composition in use concentration shows low foaming and gives a cleaning solution which is not cloudy at least at a temperature in the range from 16&#xb0; C. to 40&#xb0; C. In addition, the composition has good cleaning efficacy over a broad temperature range (20 to 55&#xb0; C.) and shows good material compatibility.
