The fantasy is that dousing surfaces with disinfection products will eliminate harmful pathogens. The fine print qualifies (or exposes) the claim.

Common cleaning or disinfecting practices of today often make the same crazy mistake, ignoring the little matter of properly removing or inactivating pathogens and creating large infectious disease problems.
