Cleaning and Disinfecting

Cleaning with soap and water removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. That said, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection. If a surface may have gotten the virus on it from a person with or suspected to have COVID-19, the surface should be cleaned prior to disinfection.

Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. For disinfection, most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.

• A list of products that are EPA-approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19 is available here. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products for concentration, application method and contact time, etc.
