PRO STANDARD EXPLAINED

Clean vs. Sanitize vs. Disinfect: Know the Difference

Guests and hosts often use these three terms interchangeably, but public health standards and turnover chemical chemistry define distinct actions:

1

Cleaning

Mechanically removes visible dirt, oil, and food debris using surfactants and friction. Crucial rule: You cannot disinfect a dirty surface. Soil neutralizes disinfectants.

2

Sanitizing

Chemically reduces bacteria counts to safe public health thresholds (99.9% reduction). Common on food contact counters and guest bed linens.

3

Disinfecting

Destroys specific viruses, bacteria, and fungi on non-porous surfaces using EPA-registered chemistry. Requires keeping the surface wet for the full dwell time (3–10 minutes).
