Isn a well-cleaned surface free of germs?
Proper cleaning and drying remove most of the germs and usually make a surface safe. However, on surfaces used for food preparation, around the toilet or on changing tables, “most” and “usually” may not be enough. Proper cleaning followed by proper use of a disinfectant or a disinfectant or antibacterial cleaner is much safer. Disinfecting the surface also means that the germs have been killed, and not just removed to the sponge or other cleaning cloth.
