Sanitization

Sanitization is the process of reducing germs, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms on surfaces or objects to safe levels, minimizing the risk of disease transmission. It involves cleaning with disinfectants or solutions that effectively eliminate or significantly lower microbial presence. This process is essential in food handling, healthcare, and everyday environments to maintain hygiene and protect health. Sanitization does not necessarily mean sterilization, which is the complete removal of all microbes, but it helps create a safer, healthier environment by controlling potential sources of contamination.
