O.k., so about the blog on counter top disinfecting.  This does not mean we don’t disinfect where we need to.  Bathrooms are a prime example.  We use a Neutral disinfectant so that any bacteria or even chemical residue is Neutralized, thereby disinfecting without leaving chemical residue behind.  The term neutral refers to the pH of the disinfectant. A neutral disinfectant could have a pH as low as a 6 and as high as 8.5.   Whether or not to use neutral disinfectant is dependent on end use application. Neutral disinfectants are less likely to dull high gloss floor finishes with repeated use.   Typically, medical care facilities prefer neutral disinfectant cleaners.  Click here for the MSDS on our Neutral Disinfectant if you’re really into the chemistry of the whole thing.  While you may be tempted to eat off the floors when we get done cleaning, I recommend that you don’t.  As with kitchen counter tops, you would not want to accidently ingest neutralizing disinfectant.

Doesn’t it make sense that the counter tops where you prepare food would be disinfected? I mean, who wants to get sick? Well, in actuality you could get more sick from the disinfectant if it leeches into you food! The best thing to do is just not eat. Just kidding! (I do know a great personal chef at Angel Food Catering if you just prefer to have someone bring you food). When you’re cleaning counter tops, be sure you’re using an all purpose cleaner with NO disinfectant. If it’s a butcher’s block, it’s best to use a dry cloth, but if you have to, water only will provide the safest results.
