Disinfecting is the process of using chemical agents or other methods to kill or inactivate harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, on surfaces to reduce the risk of infection. It is a core task in healthcare settings, food service, janitorial work, and childcare, where cleanliness standards are critical to public health. Proper disinfecting requires understanding contact times, correct product dilution, and appropriate protective equipment.
