Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection. - **Disinfecting** refers to using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. Before disinfecting a surface, use mild soap and water on a damp towel to wipe away any debris. For disinfection, a list of products with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved emerging viral pathogens claims, maintained by the American Chemistry Council Center for Biocide Chemistries (CBC), is available at [Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Fighting Products](https://www.americanchemistry.com/Novel-Coronavirus-Fighting-Products-List.pdf) (our team has had success with Lysol Brand II Disinfecting Wipes). It is important to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products. Gloves are recommended when using cleaning supplies and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) from the [Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)](https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3514.html) for the products used. Discard gloves after cleaning, and hands should be thoroughly cleaned for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap and water afterward. ### Additional Articles: - [Environmental Non-pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs): Surface Cleaning](https://www.cdc.gov/nonpharmaceutical-interventions/environmental/index.html) - [Stop the Spread of Germs](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/stop-the-spread-of-germs.pdf) - [How to Clean your Monitor or TV Screen](https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-clean-your-monitor-or-tv-screen/) - [How to Clean Your Electronic Gadgets](https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/how-to/a7295/how-to-clean-your-gadgets-without-breaking-them/) ### Solutions #### By Industry - [Convenience Store](https://www.dumac.com/pos-solutions-for-convenience-stores?hsLang=en) - [Grocery/Supermarket](https://www.dumac.com/pos-solutions-for-grocery-stores?hsLang=en) -     ### Products #### Software - [RORC](https://rorc.dumac.com?hsLang=en) - [PumpVision](https://www.dumac.com/pump-vision?hsLang=en) ### Company - [About](https://www.dumac.com/about-us?hsLang=en) - [Careers](https://www.dumac.com/careers?hsLang=en) - [Contact](https://www.dumac.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.dumac.com/privacy-policy-terms-of-use?hsLang=en) ### Contact ****Sales & Support:** 315-463-1010 ****Corporate Headquarters:** 315-463-1010 121 Metropolitan Park Dr Liverpool, NY 13088 ### Connect [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dumac-business-systems-inc-/) [**](https://www.facebook.com/DUMAC-Business-Systems-Inc-262308821645/) [**](https://twitter.com/DUMAC_Tech) [**](https://www.youtube.com/user/DUMACVideo?safe=active) ©2026 DUMAC Business Systems, Inc.
