Hi William, I use Nolvasan to disinfect plastic Rubbermaid boxes, it works well. I have not used quatricide products on plastic boxes, but I use it on the melamine shelves of my racks. The product I use is Lemon Clean from Smart and Final here in California. The active ingredients are didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride n-alkyl (1.875%) and Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (1.248%). The active ingredient in 409 cleaner is alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (0.3%), the latter ingredient in Lemon Clean, but in a lower concentration. I have always been curious about the effectiveness of using 409. What do others think about 409 for disinfecting melamine shelves (non animal contacted surfaces) or animal cages directly? I have always thought of 409 as fairly nasty stuff to work with, but that may be the other ingredients as the Lemon Clean isn't too bad.
