5 Myths About Disinfecting
Information may not be reliable

7/14/2020
The common myths of disinfection that are relevant to infection prevention can lead to disinfection in compliance, increasing exposure to deadly pathogens. Learn more here.

Nowadays, this is the new normal. Implementing proper hand hygiene is vital for reducing the spread of the virus that caused a global pandemic. It is highly recommended to maintain a clean and healthy environment, both in the office and at home. Cleaning and regularly disinfecting your place will help to reduce your risk of becoming ill and risking your life and your family.

 

You might have heard or read several informative tips about various cleaning methods, but which ones should you strictly follow? Here, we simplify some common house and office-cleaning myths that we often hear and inform you with the facts that you need to remain safe and healthy.

 

Myth No. 1: Cleaning and disinfecting are similar in meaning.

 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that cleaning refers to eliminating dirt and dust from surfaces, which expels, but does not kill, some of the microbes. Cleaning is significant since it decreases the number of bacteria in the environment.

 

Disinfecting, on the other hand, kills germs on surfaces by immersing them with chemicals. Both cleaning and disinfecting play an important role in keeping your office and home clean and sanitized.

 

Myth No. 2: The majority of disinfectants are made equal and can be utilized in the same manner.

 

Disinfectants are typically thought about in the same way and are usually perceived as the same. In the United States alone, there are thousands of registered disinfectant companies all over the market, each of which varies from others.

 

Reading the product label and instructions for use is vital to ensure that the product is used properly and safely, both of which help to increase disinfection compliance. Through uncovering these common disinfection myths, the significance of making educated and well-informed decisions when selecting a disinfectant is hereby emphasized.

 

Myth No. 3: If a disinfectant kills the majority of bacteria, it must be toxic.

 

Legacy disinfectants are popularly known to require a compromise between germicidal efficacy and user safety. Ten to 15 years ago, companies worked to establish safer and more environmentally sustainable disinfectants in the market.

 

Presently, there are several disinfectant alternatives based on safer chemistry that have improved safety profiles without compromising germicidal efficacy.

 

Myth No. 4: More is much better.

 

As customers may notice, a lot of disinfectant manufacturers make a lengthy list of pathogens on their product label to look more scientifically effective. 

 

Instead of looking for disinfectants with the most prominent number of efficacy claims, look for disinfectants with the most applicable claims.

 

When it comes to cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, it is essential to consider what bacteria are related to patients and the facility and focus your attention on a disinfectant formulation that provides equilibrium between effectiveness and minimal toxicity to elevate user compliance.

 

Myth No. 5: Cleaning and disinfection is not my task to perform.

 

In any medical or non-medical setting, infection and sanitizing control strategies is everybody’s responsibility, even if it is not in your job description. Everyone has their roles in an organization; however, as a whole, it is everyone’s responsibility to keep a safe and functional organization intact.   

 

As the pandemic grips our nation every day, we become aware of how important it is to stay well-informed as far as cleaning and sanitation issues are concerned.
