The choice of cleaning agents depends on the type of surface and the level of contamination. Commonly used agents include:
- Detergents: Used for general cleaning to remove dirt and organic matter. - Disinfectants: Used to kill pathogens on surfaces. Examples include bleach solutions and quaternary ammonium compounds. - Alcohol-based cleaners: Effective for disinfecting small surfaces and equipment.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding dilution and contact time for these agents to ensure effectiveness.
