Hii mohit
here is an answer for you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Antiseptics are used on living tissues and disinfectants are used on non-living items, both to protect the spreading of germs and infection to humans and animals.


Disinfectants are used in homes and businesses to disinfect items which could transmit germs. Antiseptics are used to clean areas of the body which are prone to infection or deep clean.


Common antiseptics include mouthwash, cold sore, and yeast infection treatment creams. Disinfectants are commonly found in household cleaning products for kitchens, bathrooms, and other commonly touched items where germs are found. Both items can be found in common household items and in sterilized medical facilities.
