disinfection practices

Disinfection practices involve using chemicals like bleach or alcohol-based solutions to kill bacteria, viruses, and other germs on surfaces. The goal is to reduce the risk of infection by effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms, especially in areas like hospitals, kitchens, and bathrooms. Proper disinfection requires cleaning surfaces first to remove dirt and debris, then applying the disinfectant and allowing it to sit for a specified contact time to ensure effectiveness. Regular disinfection helps maintain a healthier environment and prevents the spread of illnesses.
