Disinfectants and sanitizers are antimicrobial products that help protect public health by reducing the presence and spread of harmful microorganisms in the places people rely on every day.
Used in healthcare facilities, schools, homes, workplaces, transportation, and shared public spaces, these products support cleaner environments and help lower the risk of exposure to bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
By helping control microbes on surfaces and in shared environments, antimicrobials reinforce infection prevention practices, protect vulnerable populations, and support the health and safety of individuals, families, workers, patients, students, and communities.
