What is Justified Disinfection?
Justified Disinfection as a concept argues that effective and thorough cleaning with high quality detergents across all non-critical touch surfaces is as effective, if not more so than widespread use of disinfectants.
By removing dirt and sources of food for pathogens from a surface through rigorous cleaning, the microbial load on any surface can be brought to levels that are not considered harmful. The regular and widespread use of disinfectants does not provide a clean surface and can promote the development of resistant pathogens. Therefore they should be used only on critical high frequency touch surfaces - door handles, keyboards, lift call buttons, handrails etc.
