Consider using disinfectants in addition to cleaning, depending on the context and surface being cleaned.

Take into account the specific surface you are cleaning, whether it's stainless steel, a school desktop, or a nurse's workstation.

Think about the general context in which you are cleaning, whether it's a school, food court, or hospital, to tailor your approach accordingly.

Pay attention to your cleaning technique, whether you're wiping fast or slow, using more pressure, or being more gentle, depending on the situation.

Ensure you are using the appropriate strength and technique for your cleaning tasks, taking into consideration factors such as physical ability and endurance.
