Surface disinfectant wipes are a vital component in helping prevent the spread of infection and cross contamination. What many folks may not fully realize is there are certain factors that capture disinfection, and it goes beyond simply wiping down a contaminated surface!

To ensure that a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved hard surface disinfectant kills the microorganisms that it claims to, proper use according to manufacturer instructions is vital for surface disinfection. Proper disinfection requires that dirty surfaces be pre-cleaned first. The second is to always allow the disinfectant product to remain wet on the surface for a specific period of time. The importance of contact time and visible wetness is what ensures effective disinfection!

CO-DEPENDENCY

To effectively kill a specific or targeted group of bacteria and viruses, treated surfaces need to be wet for the full contact time indicated on the product label. The contact time, also known as the kill time, dwell time or wet time, is the required time that the disinfectant needs to stay wet on a surface in order to ensure efficacy. It is determined by the manufacturer and based on the results of microbiological testing using EPA-approved methods.

KNOW THE KILL TIME

Kill times vary depending on the product and between products. Contact times for disinfectants range from 15 seconds to ten minutes, the maximum time allowed by the EPA.

THE WET CHALLENGE

Keeping a surface visibly wet can be difficult for disinfectants, especially, if it requires a long contact time, such as ten minutes. Environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and low humidity can make it difficult even for disinfectants with contact times as short as three or four minutes. Particularly challenging are disinfectants with high alcohol content as these evaporate quickly. If the disinfectant does dry on the surface before the contact time is achieved, label instructions usually require reapplication to ensure that the contact or wet time is met.
