I've never been to a ferret show, so I'm not familiar with what they may use there for disinfectant, but I've worked for 4 different vet clinics. We used the same virucide, in diluted form, for cleaning the tables in between clients. The vets would wash their hands with soap right after every examination, the tables sprayed and wiped off, and the floor swept (if needed for nail clippings, hair everywhere). I would also wash my hands before going out to get the next client. Cleanliness was of utmost importance. Anyhoo, that's just my $.02 on my experiences. Jamie [Posted in FML issue 3219]
