The aromatic smell of phenols gives a false feeling that the floors are clean, but the truth is that phenols are only a disinfectant and not a surface cleaner. Phenol or carbolic acid and its derivatives are classified as corrosive and toxic by the National Institute of Health and also classified as a known carcinogen by the State of California.
