12. A method for detecting a presence of a quaternary ammonium compound disinfectant on a surface, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a sample from the surface; contacting the sample with an indicator composition comprising an azo dye material, water, and optionally a first acidic compound; and visually observing whether a color change result occurs within the indicator composition thereby indicating the existence or the absence of the quaternary ammonium compound disinfectant on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
