What procedure should you perform before dry sanitation?

Apply a disinfectant Clean the surface first Rinse with water Use a steam cleaner

Correct Answer:

Clean the surface first

Explanation:

Cleaning the surface first is essential because sanitizers and disinfectants work best on surfaces free of soil, oils, and debris. If dirt and residues remain, they can shield microbes and even neutralize or reduce the effectiveness of the sanitizing agent. So the proper order is to wash with soap and water to remove visible debris, rinse if required, and then apply the sanitizer or disinfectant as directed. This makes the dry sanitation step reliable and effective.
