Surface disinfection to prevent the transmission of pathogens

In order to prevent the transmission of pathogens, disinfecting surfaces is particularly important. Please note the respective material compatibility, the active ingredient classes and also the exposure time and concentration, as the right surface disinfectant depends on the spectrum of effects and the respective location of use. Pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi can survive on surfaces for several hours, days or even months. If surface disinfection is carried out correctly, the disinfected areas should be as germ-free as possible. Surfaces that you come into regular contact with, such as toilet flushers, door handles and even kitchen work surfaces, should definitely be treated with surface disinfectant. Routine surface disinfection according to instructions is used prophylactically as soon as site-related colonization is expected. Whether in the medical sector, in outpatient and home care, in kindergartens or schools or in the food industry - disinfection of surfaces is essential and can also be very useful for private use. Surface disinfectants or disinfectant wipes are suitable for this. The IWW Institute has prepared a compilation of the advantages and disadvantages of spray and wipe disinfection so that you can determine the optimal product for your needs.
