The only problem I have with these type products is that the surfaces that are to be disinfected need to stay wet with the solution for as long (or longer than) 10 minutes to be properly disinfected. This product states it will kill Parvovirus in less than 10 minutes, but does not specify an exact time.
The vet hospital and the human hospital where I worked both used a 5% solution of bleach and water in a spray bottle. If used in a bucket, the solution needs to be refreshed frequently as contamination from dirt and germs weakens it. Bleach is harmless when dry. No rinsing is necessary.
