Ensure your surfaces are protected against a wide spectrum of viruses, bacteria, algae and fungi.

The importance of cleaning and degreasing before disinfecting

Cleaning and degreasing a surface will remove some germs but it will not kill all germs alone, that’s where the disinfectant comes into play.
