Our poll just closed. The question raised dealt with the amount of time a disinfectant should remain on a surface to effectively kill germs. The answer is ten minutes.
That time is known as "dwell time." Ten minutes gives the disinfectant time to work and kill the germs on the surface being cleaned. Wiping it off sooner than ten minutes diminishes the amount of germs killed. Thus, leaving it for the ten minutes recommended on the label will assure the removal of most germs.
With the amount of sickness and various flu strains like MRSA and H1N1 out there, it would be wise to allow disinfectants to do their job!
