How Does Pre Cleaning Differ from Disinfection and Sterilization?
Pre cleaning is the preliminary step that focuses on the removal of visible contaminants. Disinfection involves the use of chemical agents to eliminate most pathogenic microorganisms, but not necessarily all microbial forms, such as bacterial spores. Sterilization, on the other hand, is a more rigorous process that aims to destroy all forms of microbial life, including spores.
