Cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting are related but not the same, and using the right one saves time and product.
Cleaning
Cleaning removes visible dirt, dust and grease from a surface. It is always the first step, because soil can reduce the effectiveness of sanitizers and disinfectants.
Sanitizing
Sanitizing lowers the number of germs on a surface to a safer level. It is commonly used on food-contact surfaces and in kitchens.
Disinfecting
Disinfecting uses a registered product applied for the full contact time on the label. It is used in healthcare settings, washrooms and other high-touch areas.
