Sanitizing your cleaning tools is important - but are you doing it right? Many people have heard the "hack" that microwaving your dish sponge kills bacteria, but that is FALSE! In fact, it can actually contribute to higher bacteria colonies. That is because in order to get the sponge to a high enough temperature to kill all the bacteria, it would start a fire. Instead of throwing your sponge in the microwave, switch to cloths that can be put in the washing machine for an eco-friendly cleaning solution.

What does disinfecting do that cleaning and sanitizing cannot? Disinfecting actively kills germs and viruses on hard surfaces or objects. Only hard (nonporous) surfaces can be disinfected. Disinfectants used on soft (porous) surfaces, such as stone or granite countertops, carpets and rugs, and soft fabric furniture will only sanitize the surface, as the disinfectant cannot reach all layers of the object to completely disinfect it. Disinfectants come in three grades, Limited, General and Hospital, with Merry Maids using hospital-grade disinfectants for maximum effectiveness. Rest assured, Health Canada stringently test all disinfecting products used by Merry Maids for quality purposes.
