Understanding Disinfection and Sanitization

Cleaning removes visible dirt, but disinfection kills germs. In homes and workplaces, proper sanitization is essential for health and safety.

Cleaning vs. Sanitizing vs. Disinfecting

Cleaning

Removes dirt, dust, and some germs from surfaces using soap and water.

Sanitizing

Reduces bacteria to safe levels as determined by public health standards.

Disinfecting

Kills virtually all bacteria, viruses, and fungi on surfaces.

When Professional Disinfection is Needed

  • Healthcare and aged care facilities
