Cleaning
When you clean, you remove dirt & impurities from surfaces. Cleaning with chemicals usually involves using surfactants (soap) which can physically remove germs that cause illness such as bacteria and viruses. This doesn’t necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it can help lower the spread of such pathogens.
Disinfecting
When you disinfect on the other hand, you actively kill germs. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infectious bacteria and viruses. Another thing to note is that disinfectants don’t always remove tough stains, grime or dirt.
When should you clean and disinfect?
These two actions shouldn’t always be done together. If you really want to keep a hygienic home and lower the risk of spreading harmful germs, you should do both as and when required. The best way to do go about it is to clean your surfaces to remove the top layer of dirt, and then disinfect afterwards (if required) to kill bacteria and viruses. Cleaning first also improves the performance of disinfectants.
