I need something to wipe down leather sling, spanking benches and other surfaces TO PREVENT SPREADING INFECTION.
Please tell me the active ingredient of your suggestion, not just the brand name (I'm in Australia).
Also, can you think of anything else I might need for the party I may have forgotten??
Have already got the obvious things:
- gloves
- condoms and dental dams
- lube
- sharps bin
- paper towel
- snacks and drinks
- candles, pegs, rope
- anti-bacterial handwash
- towels
- bins
??????
Thanks for all serious suggestions.

No paddles? Or are you assuming everybody will bring their own?
Arnica might be a good idea - reduces the risk of bruising.

Wow- the person above me took the cake, but I'll just add my 2 cents...
A simple bleach solution would be VERY cheap as a disinfectant, and you could have bottles in every room/scene. It must be mixed with COLD water at the ratio of 3/4 cup to 1 gallon of water is the disinfectant level and NOT let to sit overnight (I also kept reading about a 10-1 ratio, but don't know how many cups are in a gallon :).
The major disadvantage of Chlorhexidines is that it is not the most effective against many gram negative bacteria or viruses that love water (hydrophilic). However, bleach reportedly doesn't kill chlamydia...
If there is limited exchange of bodily fluids going on (not the "hard play" of piercings, blood lettings, or whatever), then you should be safe with almost any disinfectant, as long as you dry it off with a paper towel (which also would help prevent residues from irritating any sensitive skin).

I'd suggest you use neat Chlorhexidine (do not add water) to wipe down play equipment. It's a powerful antibacterial that is used in hospitals. Your local chemist should stock it, just wander in and ask them for it.
Make sure that all the furniture you provide for the party is in very very good condition and not worn or cracked or chipped in any way.
I'd also suggest that you ask your guests to bring their own toy bags, and to insist that they use your own toys on you (if they play with you). If you decide to play, make sure that you designate a DM (dungeon master) in your place, to watch over the other guests. There needs to be someone "watching out" for the people at the party at all times, to make sure that everything goes smoothly. As a DM, always remember to do *everything* with 100% consent (even if that is taking pictures of scening people), and make sure that the consent rule is followed by anyone participating in the party. I'd suggest that you make sure to get to really know your guests; knowing that everyone will respect consent and confidentiality and stay that way after people go back to their normal lives makes everything feel so much nicer, and allows you to relax fully.
My partner and i bring our own toybag to public gatherings, and we insist that anyone who wishes to play uses our toys on us. For most occasions, we play exclusively with each other, and with those we trust. The best play parties i've been to are ones where there is a separate, very private area for sexual activities if people wish it, and another area where people can step away from the BDSM aspects of the night and just chat and socialise. For other things for the party, i'd suggest plenty of thick blankets (or a doona or two) that you can drape over shoulders and around a body, after a scene. A submissive coming up from a subspace can get very cold due to the change in core body temperature (when i've been in a subspace, i've had to have both blankets and a heater to make me comfortable again afterwards).
Maybe do a bit of forward planning and ring your guests and ask them about things like allergies, and if they suffer epilepsy or asthma or disorders that can affect their balance or ability to be suspended for long periods of time (it is a good idea to ask all these things so as you can keep your guests 100% safe at all times, and in case something happens and you need to inform the paramedics or what not).
I truly hope all this helps you in some way, and that you have a wonderful, wonderful night :)

I think you need ME at your party! Can I come!?
Anyway, I would simply make up a bleach solution for spraying down equipment. That's what's always been used at the clubs/parties I go to. The challenge is in getting everyone to use it!

Um, what? You can't be serious. Man I hope you have all these people medically checked out before the party. Talk about playing Russian roulette with your body a contagious diseases.

use an disinfectous spray like lysol that will kill most or all virus but you can call your local clinic to ask them how to kill germs

You need an Australian prison term.
