While both play an important role in ensuring safe hygiene levels, routine cleaning only serves to remove dirt and dust particles that are usually visible on surfaces or objects. Disinfection will effectively eliminate any bacteria, viruses, fungus and spores to prevent them from spreading.

Disinfecting the air is just as important as surface disinfection. The air that we breathe contains other unseen particles such as bacteria, viruses, fungus and spores. While cleaning can help to reduce germs that have landed on surfaces, germs are still present in the air and may lead to a spread of airborne diseases. Inhaling these harmful contaminants could potentially harm your health in the long run, thus it’s vital to take it a step further by disinfecting the air.
