Sanitising, disinfecting, or are they the same? 🦠

Many people confuse sanitising and disinfecting or assume that sanitising is enough to kill all germs. 🧽

When in reality, they are two different processes, serving different purposes.

Watch Erica from ORAPI explain the difference with EXAMPLES!

Sanitizing and disinfecting are two critical processes in maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of germs and pathogens, yet they differ in their objectives and methods. Sanitizing typically involves reducing the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level, often through the use of chemicals or heat. It targets common bacteria and some viruses, aiming to lower the risk of infection. Disinfecting, on the other hand, goes a step further by killing a broader range of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and even some spores. Disinfectants are usually stronger and more potent than sanitizers, capable of destroying harmful pathogens on surfaces. While sanitizing is often sufficient for everyday use, disinfecting becomes crucial in environments where infectious diseases are a concern or where a higher level of cleanliness is required, such as hospitals and food processing facilities. Both processes play vital roles in maintaining health and safety standards, ensuring that surfaces are clean and free from harmful contaminants.
