Everyday Surface Hygiene Starts With the Right Disinfectant

A surface can look perfectly clean & still require disinfection.

Household Disinfectants vs General Purpose Cleaners

Although they are often used together, they perform different roles.

General purpose cleaners primarily remove dirt, grease & visible contaminants.

Household disinfectants are intended to disinfect suitable hard surfaces when used according to the manufacturer's directions & required contact time.

For many environments, the most effective routine is to clean first & then disinfect according to the product label.

Expert Tips

The best disinfectant delivers results when it's used correctly.

Rather than spraying a surface & immediately wiping it away, always follow the manufacturer's directions for application, dilution (where applicable) & contact time.

Best practice includes:

► Clean heavily soiled surfaces before disinfecting.
► Follow all label directions.
► Use the correct product for the intended surface.
► Store products safely & securely.
► Replace empty containers promptly to maintain cleaning schedules.

Cleaning teams often improve efficiency by combining disinfectants with Cleaning Equipment & Paper Products & Dispensers.
