Disinfectant

A disinfectant is a chemical substance used to eliminate or reduce harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, on surfaces and objects. Its primary purpose is to prevent the spread of infections and ensure environments like hospitals, kitchens, and public spaces remain safe and hygienic. Disinfectants are different from cleaning agents; while cleaners remove dirt and debris, disinfectants actively kill microorganisms. They are formulated with specific active ingredients that target microorganisms effectively, but should be used according to instructions to ensure safety and maximum efficacy.
