Is defined as mechanical removal of most microorganisms from the surfaces?
What is decontamination? The mechanical removal of most microbes from an animate or inanimate surface.
Why are the tools and implements needed to be cleaned before disinfecting?
Cleaning is an important first step because it physically removes dirt, organic matter and most germs from surfaces, but does not destroy some harmful germs that may remain. All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned before disinfection. This ensures that germs are not hidden from the disinfectant when it is applied.
What are the correct procedures for cleaning and sanitizing tools and equipment?
