Disinfectants and detergents are both important for cleaning and maintaining a hygienic environment.
Detergents are used to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants from surfaces, and they work by breaking down the grease and oil that hold these substances in place. Detergents are typically water-based and may contain a variety of surfactants, enzymes, and other ingredients that help to loosen and remove dirt and stains.
Disinfectants, on the other hand, are used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on surfaces. Disinfectants are typically chemical-based and may contain ingredients such as chlorine bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or quaternary ammonium compounds. Disinfectants are important for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and are commonly used in healthcare settings, as well as in homes and other public places.
