The Age Old Question – Are Sanitizers and Disinfectants the Same?
Sanitizers and disinfectants are not the same. They may seem similar but there are very big differences between the two and between
what each product achieves in the process of cleaning. Commercial cleaning services are hired to ensure office space is clean and comfortable. No one knows better how to clean crowded spaces then Gator Cleaning Solutions. Most employers and employees don’t necessarily know what cleaning products and processes are used and when they are appropriate, but they do know what a clean environment looks and smells like. Never the less, people in charge of hiring a professional cleaning service should know a bit about the topic in order to hire the best company for the job.
Here are some differences between sanitizers and disinfectant.
If you are dealing with a break room or food court area you will need a sanitizer. A sanitizer is a chemical that diminishes the number of microorganisms to a safe level. To be effective it does not need to get rid of 100% of the organisms A sanitizer does not kill viruses or fungi. In a food service area or break room, the sanitizer has to diminish the bacteria count by 99.999% and must kill infectious organisms in 30 seconds.
If you are cleaning a medical space you will need to use a disinfectant. A disinfectant is a chemical that destroys all organisms. These organisms are bacteria and pathogens that cause diseases and according to the law a disinfectant has to diminish bacteria by 99.999% in a time period of between 5 and 10 minutes.

Keep in mind that if you are just trying to clean dirt or dust or general cleaning, you may use an all purpose cleaner. In fact, a sanitizer or disinfectant won’t do the job as well. Each area of a facility has specific product and procedural needs to ensure effective cleaning.
