Cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting are different processes that involve removing contaminants from a surface.
Cleaning involves removing dirt and grime from a surface using soap and water or a cleaning product. Sanitizing involves reducing the number of harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi on a surface using a chemical sanitizer or heat. Disinfecting involves killing all microorganisms on a surface using a chemical disinfectant or UV-C light.
It is important to clean regularly, sanitize high-touch areas and communal spaces, and disinfect when necessary, such as when someone is sick or has a weakened immune system. It is important to read the labels of cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting products and follow all instructions to use them correctly. Mixing cleaning chemicals can be dangerous, and it is important to use personal protective equipment when handling chemical disinfectants.
