It still lists all the unapproved disinfectants annoyingly so limiting to TB makes it easier to read but no quicker. DEFRA efficiency ;-)

Yes, I did come across a couple of articles along those lines but was a bit scared to suggest phenols to the owner given their nastiness. I couldn't find a commercial disinfectant that contained phenols either - are you aware of any?
