antiseptics are used on living tissue
disinfectants are used on non-living things
disinfectants are also much stronger and are too toxic to be used on living tissue
Disinfectants are antibacterial agents that are applied to inorganic surfaces. They should generally be distinguished from antiseptics that destroy pathogens on living tissue.
because it is and that is why
antiseptics target the bacteria and alter the PHof their enviroment toa more basic or acidic level in which they cant live or grow in
Antiseptics; kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the external surfaces of the body.Disinfectants; destroy microorganisms found on nonliving objects.

Antibiotics are internal medicine. Disinfectants can be used on any surface. Antiseptics refer to specific compounds used to kill pretty much any microorganism outside the human body.
Gram + bacteria has thick cell walls. This feature makes them more resistant to antiseptic and disinfectants.
Antiseptics are used on living tissues to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, while disinfectants are used on surfaces to kill or inactivate microorganisms. Antiseptics are generally safe for use on skin, whereas disinfectants may be too harsh for use on skin. Antiseptics are typically used for wound cleaning, while disinfectants are used for cleaning surfaces in healthcare settings.
I'm not sure about deodorant, but disinfectants literally do as the name says, the disinfect the area stopping germs and bacteria spreading, preventing diseases and infections. Antiseptics remove and kill bacteria and if the bacteria can not be spread then nor can the disease.
antiseptics are less powerfull than disinfectants and are safe to use on living tissues

The difference between antibiotics and antiseptics are the following;- Antiseptics are used outside the body e.g to clean wounds or on the surface it prevents infection rather than treating them also it destroys the bacteria and stops them from growing Antibiotics are drugs usually taken as a pill or injected inside 2 types of antibiotics;- Antibacterials Antifungals
