Due to the current health pandemic, businesses and individuals have more responsibilities when it comes to cleanliness and sanitation. Businesses and gathering places are receiving recommendations from public health organizations to increase disinfection procedures to further protect the health of employees, visitors, or occupants of buildings or public environments.
Cleaning procedures generally include 3 steps: cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting. Whether you do the cleaning yourself or entrust this responsibility to a professional cleaning and disinfecting company, it’s important to understand the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting

Cleaning
The process of removing dirt and debris from surfaces.
In other words, cleaning is simply removing the stuff you can see.
Though chemicals are not typically involved, the cleaning process reduces the presence of germs by 80%.
Cleaning should be performed on a consistent basis in all areas of a business or home.
Sanitizing
Reduces the presence of germs to a level deemed as acceptable by public health authorities.
It is recommended to consistently sanitize in areas where there is contact with food such as kitchens and dining areas
Disinfecting
Kills and eliminates viruses and bacteria at a proven rate of 99.999%.
It is highly recommended to disinfect areas that are in contact with contaminants and bodily fluids such as bathrooms, and all frequently touched areas such as door handles, light switches, faucet handles, desks, keyboards, etc.
Remember, this sanitizing and disinfecting process is not effective if you haven’t cleaned first.
Disinfectants can’t destroy germs that are under too much dirt and debris!
