Cleaning removes organic matter, salts, and visible soils, all of which interfere with microbial inactivation.

If a surface is not cleaned first, the success of the disinfection process can be compromised. Removal of all visible blood and inorganic and organic matter can be as critical as the germicidal activity of the disinfecting agent. When a surface cannot be cleaned adequately, it should be protected with barriers. Step-Two Disinfection destroys most pathogenic and other microorganisms by physical or chemical means.
