I guess everyone has their favorites....
While I read that the Q-128 does sufficiently kills unwanted germs and bacteria our interest in the Spectra24 resolves around it’s non caustic use in the daycare environment. To compare:

The Q-128:

In case of contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. For eyes or skin, call a physician. If swallowed, call a doctor or get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg whites, gelatin solution, or if these are not available, drink large quantities of water. Avoid alcohol.

Ventilation: Use with adequate ventilation.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses are required.
Protective Gloves: Protective gloves are required.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear clothing as necessary to prevent skin contact.
