Washing the bathroom tiles

Clean homes. Clean workplaces. Clean schools. We’re all drawn to the clean we can "see." But we also know that just because something looks clean, doesn’t mean it really is clean. Learn about the role disinfecting and sanitizing in preventing the spread of illness-causing germs. You can’t see germs — like Salmonella, E. coli, or Influenza. But "pathogenic," or disease-causing, germs can be alive and thriving on surfaces all around you — at home, at work and at school.
