Tips that help stop the spread of COVID-19:

In the fight against viruses, Good Chemistry is on your side. First, it is critical that the difference between cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing is understood – there are distinct differences.

“Cleaning” removes dirt and impurities from surfaces or objects, but it does not kill germs. “Sanitizing” lowers the number of germs on a surface or object by reducing the germs to levels considered safe by public health standards or requirements.

“Disinfecting” kills germs by using antimicrobials directly on surfaces and objects. To help stop the spread of COVID-19, you need to disinfect and maintain other healthy habits.

How to Help
Stop the Spread

With the rising outbreak of the coronavirus, it is more important than ever for all of us to be reminded of some of the simple, best practices for preventing the spread of germs, sickness and disease. Luckily, from disinfecting hard surfaces to washing our hands to practicing “social distancing,” there are many steps we can take in an effort to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy and safe.

A Common Place for
Spreading Germs

Antimicrobials are among the first lines of defense in the battle against infection. Anywhere there are a lot of people, there are a lot of germs. To lessen the transmission of disease-causing viruses and reduce bacteria in spaces with masses of people, antimicrobial disinfectants and sanitizers are used to kill the harmful bacteria and viruses.
