Disenfectants

Working on diseased tree clearance, What disinfectants are people using? I have read the forestry commission guidelines and used whatever the commission gave us. Pretty sure it was bleach based.

 

But, the sole fell off me boot! May or may not have been related. Did the disinfectant attack the glue or did the boot fall apart because it had a year and a halfs good use? I will never know for sure.

 

Bleach based products are very harsh on fabrics and some plastics. Dreadful on soft winching kit etc. Don't need to destroy all my clothes boots, etc. How are you all getting on with this issue?

 

I'm thinking that Propeller an Alcohol based and recommend disinfectant may be better for kit? Forestry commission here have stopped using it because its flammable. Given we all work with petrol anyway I don't see how that is an unmanageable issue?

 

Thoughts please
