Abstract
Since the disinfectant solution bottle has a detachable section and a sealing section, the disinfectant solution bottle can be connected to the inlet of the disinfectant solution tank of the cleaning and disinfecting unit in a watertight manner; the mouth section of the bottle is closed with the sealing section before the disinfectant solution bottle is attached to the inlet of the disinfectant solution tank; and while the disinfectant solution is being connected to the inlet of the disinfectant solution tank, the disinfectant solution or concentrated disinfectant solution in the disinfectant solution bottle can flow into the disinfectant solution tank via the inlet because the inside of the disinfectant solution bottle and the inside of the disinfectant solution tank can communicate with each other in a watertight manner cut off from the outside, for example, due to automatic rupture of the sealing section when the disinfectant bottle is attached to the inlet of the disinfectant solution tank.
