Selecting the right detergent depends on several factors: - Surface Type: Different surfaces require different detergents. For example, enzymatic detergents are best for surgical instruments, while disinfectant detergents are better for high-touch surfaces. - Level of Contamination: Highly contaminated areas may require stronger disinfectant detergents. - Material Compatibility: Ensure that the detergent chosen does not damage the surface or equipment being cleaned.
