Cleaning improperly can make your home dirtier

CDC recommendations for COVID disinfection

Cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces is more than a spraying something on a surface and immediately wiping it off.

A sanitizer is not a disinfectant

Cleaning removes dirt.  Sanitizing kills some pathogens (germs) but not all

Disinfectants for both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses

Canada has provided a list of surface disinfectants that have been approved for use against hard-to-kill viruses.  Products are labeled to indicate which germs they kill on hard surfaces.

What to use for non-enveloped viruses

Disinfectants have different formulations and not all work against all pathogens (germs)
