Cleaning by using water and detergent is an effective process to remove impurities such as dust and dirt; once the area has been cleaned disinfection can take place. Disinfection is a process that reduces the number of pathogenic micro-organisms through destruction or deactivation, by reducing the number of harmful micro-organisms surfaces are left hygienically clean.

  1. Always use personal protective equipment PPE when carrying out cleaning tasks - disposable gloves and aprons as a minimum.
  2. Always use detergent, sanitizer or disinfectant as directed by the label.
