摘要

The invention relates to a disinfectant dispenser configured to store and dispense a surface and/or skin disinfectant, the disinfectant dispenser including a first storage container including a disinfectant; a second storage container (4) a including marking agent, wherein the marking agent is inactive in the second storage container; and a mixing section in which the marking agent is mixed with the disinfectant when the disinfectant dispenser is actuated, wherein the marking agent is provided in an inactive state after it is dispensed from the disinfectant dispenser. The disinfectant includes a disinfecting base component and a marking agent that is mixable with the base component, wherein the marking agent is inactive before it is mixed with the disinfecting base component and after mixing and applying the disinfectant to a surface the marking agent marks the disinfected surface through a coloration in a manner that is detectable by the human eye and also technically detectable, wherein the marking effect subsides with a subsiding disinfection state. The method for public signaling of a disinfection state of persons includes the steps: applying a disinfecting mix including a disinfecting component and a marking component to a skin area to be disinfected at a disinfection station and/or from a portable disinfectant dispenser; coloring the skin area to be disinfected by the marking component during the disinfection process; visible persistence of the coloration on the disinfected skin area, wherein the disinfected state of the skin area is signaled in a generally perceivable and detectable manner; and subsiding of the persistence of the coloration at the latest with subsiding sterility of the skin area, wherein a discoloration or change in color caused thereby is also signaled in a generally perceivable and detectable manner.
