[BLOG] Cleaning vs Disinfecting ? Why your shelter staff needs to know the difference
Understanding the distinction between cleaning and disinfecting is crucial for shelter staff to maintain a safe and disease-free environment for animals. Cleaning involves removing organic matter such as dirt and feces to achieve physical cleanliness, while disinfecting aims at destroying or inhibiting the growth of disease-causing microorganisms for bacteriological cleanliness. This process is essential as a two-step protocol: first cleaning to remove organic debris and then disinfecting to target the remaining germs.
