Disinfectants Verses Cleaners
Cleaning usually means using warm soap and water to remove dirt and grime from a surface. On occasion, a good degreaser/cleaner like GoJo or Simple Green will do the trick.
Disinfecting is using chemicals like bleach to kill germs from hard surfaces. When used together, the process of sanitizing takes place, preventing the spread of sicknesses. This is why it is so important to disinfect and clean your home or workplace to prevent illnesses from spreading.
