Cleaning, Sanitizing and Disinfecting
Cleaning removes dirt and most germs. Sanitizing kills bacteria. Disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria. The CDC says regular cleaning is enough for most offices, and disinfecting is for when someone has been sick. Clean first, then disinfect, and leave the product wet for the time on its label.
