Disinfecting Best Practices
Guidelines and recommendations for effective disinfection.
Effective disinfection requires more than just spraying a surface. Following proper protocols ensures you're actually eliminating harmful pathogens and keeping your facility safe. Here are the best practices recommended by Enzo's cleaning experts.
Choose the Right Product
Select EPA-registered disinfectants appropriate for the pathogens you need to eliminate.
Follow Contact Time
Disinfectants require a specific wet contact time to be effective. Don't wipe too soon.
Clean Before Disinfecting
Remove visible dirt and debris first — disinfectants work best on clean surfaces.
Use Proper PPE
Wear appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilate the area during application.
High-Touch Surfaces First
Prioritize doorknobs, light switches, handrails, restrooms and shared equipment.
Document Your Protocol
Maintain cleaning logs and schedules for compliance and accountability.
