Which disinfectant is known to be particularly harsh on salon equipment?

Alcohol
Hydrogen peroxide
Sodium chloride
Tuberculocidal

The correct answer is: Alcohol

Alcohol is known to be particularly harsh on salon equipment because it is a powerful disinfectant that can damage certain materials used in salons, such as plastics and certain metals. Hydrogen peroxide and sodium chloride are also effective disinfectants, but they are generally less harsh on salon equipment compared to alcohol. Tuberculocidal disinfectants are typically used in medical settings and are not commonly used in salons. While they may be effective, they are not known for being harsh on salon equipment.
