A clean home is your first line of defense against bacteria and viruses. Knowing the difference between cleaning and disinfecting is the key to truly protecting your family's health.
Clean First, Then Disinfect
Cleaning removes dirt and most germs with soap and water. Disinfecting then kills what remains. Disinfecting a dirty surface does not work, so always clean first for full protection.
Focus on High-Touch Surfaces
Doorknobs, light switches, faucets, remotes and phones collect the most germs. Disinfect these
high-touch points daily, especially during cold and flu season or when someone at home is sick.
Don't Forget the Kitchen and Bath
These rooms harbor the most harmful bacteria. Sanitize
cutting boards, sinks and counters after every use, and let disinfectant sit the full contact time on the label. Wash hands and cloths often, and your home becomes a healthier place for everyone.
