Sanitizing involves killing bacteria after the place has been cleaned thoroughly. Furniture or places that come in direct contact with human skin or food should be sanitized thoroughly - something that the pandemic has made us realize as well.

Sanitizing targets the decrease of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Sanitization is a very important measure that takes place in offices, medical facilities, schools, restaurants, etc.

Now comes disinfecting. While sanitization kills most of the germs, the same cannot make antiviral claims. Disinfecting, on the other hand, aims at killing almost 100% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi while also targeting disease-carrying microorganisms such as flu virus, norovirus, and coronavirus. The cleaning agents used for disinfecting are different. Some of the things that are used include bleach, alcohol, and chlorine.
