IS YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER ENSURING PROPER DWELL TIME?
Dwell time, or contact time is the number of times disinfectants need to remain wet on surfaces to properly disinfect. When paired with proper training, this can go a long way toward ensuring surfaces have been effectively sanitized and disinfected.
Dwell times vary by disinfectant and target organism type, like bacteria, virus, or fungi. They range from 15 seconds to 10 minutes or more.
While a disinfectant may kill some of the organisms immediately upon contact, it must be allowed to dwell on the surface for the time period stated on the chemical's packaging in order to achieve a 100% kill claim.
Whether you're using a spray or a wipe, it is essential staff know the appropriate time the disinfectant needs to dwell to stop the coronavirus in its tracks.
