Cleaning, however, does not fully disinfect the surface. Applying and EPA registered will kill or inactivate 99.9999% of pathogens present on surfaces. Disinfection also eliminates the risk of cross contamination that may occur in the cleaning process.
How frequently should you disinfect your work environment?
In terms of frequency, disinfecting should occur based on use. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends surfaces that are considered “high-touch” be disinfected on a regular basis. High-touch surfaces can include surfaces like light switches, door handles, counter tops, desks, etc. Determining what regular means depends on the work environment itself and how often others are touching those high-touch surfaces.
