Cleaning for most consumers usually means organizing, decluttering and removing items, then wiping down surfaces so they appear neat and clean. Cleaning removes dirt, debris and impurities from surfaces or objects but this process does not necessarily kill germs. By removing them however, it lowers their numbers and therefore the risk of spreading illness and infection.
Cleaning works by using all purpose cleaners, soap and/or water to physically remove dirt and debris from surfaces. This is great for removing smudges, spots and stains from surfaces and the end result is that your home looks, feels, and smells clean and fresh.
While all purpose cleaners make your home look and smell nice, only a disinfectant or sanitizer will actually kill bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
ArmiClenz® Disinfectant is used as a cleaning agent, a sanitizer, and a disinfectant, when used as directed.
While cleaning makes your home both look and smell nice, sanitizing removes bacteria that can cause illness and serious health issues.
Sanitizers actually contain pathogens and chemical agents that reduce germs and fungi to prevent contamination as well as cross-contamination.
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes sanitizing as the reduction of bacteria on surfaces.
So, in a sense, sanitizing is managing the potentially bacteria-rich surfaces and materials in your home or workplace. For example, kitchen countertops and food contact surfaces are especially prone to bacteria and other living microorganisms living on the surface. A sanitizer will remove those guys, which is what we want.
Sanitizing food surfaces is especially important to reduce food borne illnesses. In fact, the Centers for Diesase Control (CDC) estimate that each year 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 diefood borne illnesses.*
We suggest using ArmiClenz® Disinfectant for sanitizing hard non-porous surfaces.To learn more about hard, non porous surfaces, click here.

Disinfecting goes far beyond cleaning and sanitizing. Disinfecting actually kills bacteria and viruses and when used correctly, disinfectants stop the spread of diseases and viruses like the common cold and the virus that causes COVID-19. *
How? Because, disinfectants use chemical agents to kill germs, thus lowering the risk of illness or infection.
One very important reminder when using an EPA Registered disinfectant, in order to effectively kill bacteria and other living microorganisms, the solution must be visibly wet on the surface for a certain time period. When using ArmiClenz® Disinfectant we suggest a wait time of 10 minutes.
