Disinfectants must be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions to be effective. This typically involves:
1. Cleaning the Surface First: Remove any visible dirt or grime. 2. Applying the Disinfectant: Ensure full coverage of the area. 3. Allowing Contact Time: The disinfectant should remain on the surface for the recommended time to kill pathogens. 4. Rinsing (if necessary): Some disinfectants require rinsing after application.
