I tend to use veterinary type products which are known to be safe to use around animals. Mainly I use Trigene which you can buy in ltre size and dilute down into a spray bottle. I use it on my worktops and just about anywhere in the kitchen (and elsewhere!) It works out very cost effective as you only need a small amount to make up a solution. Trigene Advance Disinfectant-Hyperdrug you can get Trigene wipes too.
