But the micro organisms present on the surfaces are invisible. You can’t kill such microbes just by cleaning the surfaces with soap or detergent based products. You have to use some chemical based products for killing the microorganisms. This process of killing the microbes like bacteria, virus, fungus by using the chemical products is known as disinfection. The process of disinfection is usually done in hospitals or clinics. But due to the high spread of corona virus, the disinfection became prime important at any place. Some basic measures like disinfection would stop the spread of such infections to some extent. Disinfection process is very important in a place where there is huge gathering of people in a small space. A workspace is such place where many people work together in a small room.
