It is from Melbourne in Australia that The Big Clean Co, a mother of a family who has her own house cleaning company, distills her advice. “Do you think you are a householder?” She wonders, applying cleaning spray to a toilet. “However, just because you are using a disinfectant does not mean that you are disinfecting anything” reveals the Australian in a video that went viral Monday July 19, 2021.
According to the professional, the disinfectant spray must act for 10 minutes to eliminate all germs before being gently cleaned with a cloth. “Read the bottle label” explains the Tik Tokeuse.
It’s science that says it
Researchers at Penn University in the United States have even justified this technique by science. In a study, scientists tell us that cleaning a surface and disinfecting it are two very different things.
By cleaning, we only do“remove dirt and particles” of this surface. On the other hand, disinfecting means killing viruses and bacteria. Two processes that must be combined when cleaning.
That’s why researchers have proven that leaving the disinfectant to act on a surface or object for 10 minutes kills 99.9% of germs. A technique to keep in mind to disinfect all tables, doorknobs, taps and other switches to protect yourself from the Covid.
