Abstract
A process and compositions for disinfecting the skin, hands and mucous membrane. The compositions contain an optical brightener and exhibit intense fluorescence in the visible wavelength range on exposure to UV light and thus permit simple monitoring of the treated skin or mucous membrane surfaces for ensuring complete disinfection, but without exhibiting the disadvantages associated with the use of conventional dyes, such as discoloration of the skin and articles.
