Commercial Disinfectants and Sanitisers FAQs
Product selection, contact time, food-area use and Melbourne procurement guidance.
Q. What is the difference between a disinfectant and a sanitiser?
A. Both products reduce microorganisms on inanimate surfaces, but their approved or permitted claims and directions differ. Choose according to the setting and the exact label claim rather than assuming every sanitiser provides hospital-grade disinfection.
Q. What does hospital-grade disinfectant mean in Australia?
A. Hospital-grade disinfectants are regulated according to their intended purpose and label claims in Australia. Confirm the current label, ARTG details where applicable, surface suitability and directions before selecting a product for a medical centre, clinic, aged care facility or infection-control program.
Q. Should a surface be cleaned before it is disinfected or sanitised?
A. Follow the product label. Many products require visible soil, grease or organic matter to be removed before the disinfecting or sanitising step. Pre-cleaning helps the active product reach the surface and perform as directed.
Q. How long must a disinfectant stay wet on the surface?
A. Contact time is product-specific. Use the time stated on the current label or Product Data Sheet and keep the full surface wet for that period. Do not apply a universal five- or ten-minute rule to every disinfectant.
Q. Can disinfectants and sanitisers be used on food-contact surfaces?
A. Only use a product whose label permits the intended food-area application. Products such as Agar Ready 2 Go are designed for cleaned food-area surfaces, but pre-cleaning, contact time, drainage and any rinse direction must still be followed exactly.
Q. Can a surface disinfectant be used as hand sanitiser?
A. No. Surface disinfectants and surface sanitisers are intended for inanimate surfaces and should not be applied to skin. Use only a hand sanitiser or skin antiseptic specifically labelled for personal use.
Q. Can bleach be mixed with another cleaning chemical?
A. No. Never mix bleach with acids, ammonia, disinfectants or other cleaning chemicals unless the manufacturer explicitly directs it. Use the labelled dilution, provide ventilation and consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
Q. Where can Melbourne and Victorian businesses buy commercial disinfectants in bulk?
A. Janitorial Depot is based in Cranbourne West, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
