29. Why use a disinfectant?
Germs are everywhere. Bacteria, viruses, mold & fungus are microscopic living organisms that rapidly multiply.
The head of a pin contains hundreds of thousand of germs.
Disinfectant solutions kill germs from hard surfaces and help reduce cross contamination and prevent the spread of illness/disease

Ice in fast serve restaurants were found to have more bacteria than toilet water
The tops of desks have more bacteria than toilet seats

90,000 people world wide die from seasonal flu each year
300,00 are hospitalized
76 Million Americans get sick from food poisoning annually
5,000 die to due to complications

32. Are all disinfectants created equal?
NO!
Products can be called disinfectants if they kill a minimum of 3 organisms
“Kills 99.9% of common germs” is a product claim relating to only germs listed on the label
Many common retail items have a limited ability to kill the germs people are most concerned about such as MRSA, HIV, H1N1, etc...
