    Cleaning and Disinfecting in School Classrooms
    Cleaning and disinfecting are key to limiting exposure to germs and maintaining a safe environment during
    the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduce the spread of germs by keeping surfaces clean and reminding students of the
    importance of hand hygiene.

    The Difference Between Cleaning and Disinfecting


    ✓ Cleaning reduces germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects and works by using soap (or detergent)
    and water to physically remove germs from surfaces.
    • Cleaning of surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other
    viral respiratory illnesses.
    ✓ Disinfecting kills (or inactivates) germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works best by using chemicals, as
    directed, on surfaces after they’ve been properly cleaned.

    Which Disinfectant Products Should I Use?


    You can use any EPA-approved disinfectant against COVID-19. Visit epa.gov/listn or scan the QR code
