Our recent poll asked how long disinfectants should stay on a surface in order to kill microorganisms. The answer is 10 minutes. Seventy-five percent of those polled answered correctly.
By allowing the disinfectant to sit on a surface this long, it gives it time to kill harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. Often you can simply wipe or spray the disinfectant on a surface and let it air dry. Many of these cleaners are formulated so that they do not leave a film or residue when they dry.
By following the instructions on "dwell time" and letting products work the way they were designed, you are helping limit the spread of germs and disease.
