Sanitizing vs Disinfecting- Do You Know The Difference?



 The desks in your office. The lunchroom tables.  The bathroom. 
What product is safe to use to get rid of the germs?!

To sanitize means to make clean and hygienic. You are reducing microorganisms to a safe level. Sanitizers work quickly- reducing contamination by up to 99.9% in 30 seconds. The food industry most often uses sanitizing procedures. After using sanitizers, surfaces are safe for food contact (after the surface has air dried.)

Disinfectants are different. Disinfectants destroy infectious fungi and bacteria on hard surfaces. This takes some time, treated areas must stay wet for 10 minutes.  AND disinfectants do not recognize the difference between good bacteria and bad bacteria- It will destroy it all. That’s a problem for us- There are millions of good bacteria swimming inside us all that we need to stay healthy.  If you use a disinfectant in a ‘food contact’ area, the treated surface must be rinsed well before reuse. 
Disinfectants are best for public areas, locker rooms and restrooms.

As with any chemical- Always follow the manufacturer’s directions on the bottle and have the SDS handy in case of emergencies.
