How to Choose the Right Disinfectants
Choose disinfectants by checking their approved use, surface compatibility, contact time, and household safety.
Check the approved use
Read the product label and choose a disinfectant that is approved for the surfaces and germs you need to address.
Match it to the surface
Some products can damage fabrics or delicate finishes. Follow the manufacturer instructions and test an inconspicuous area when needed.
Consider children, pets, and ventilation
Choose products appropriate for your household and allow surfaces to dry as directed.
Follow contact time
Keep the surface wet for the full contact time listed on the label.
