*Please Note: Please be sure to follow each manufacturer's instructions and warnings to properly clean and disinfect and to not cause damage to your device or equipment.

There is a difference between disinfecting a surface and cleaning a surface:
Before disinfecting a surface, use mild soap and water on a damp towel to wipe away any debris. For disinfection, a list of products with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved emerging viral pathogens claims, maintained by the American Chemistry Council Center for Biocide Chemistries (CBC), is available at Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Fighting Products (our team has had success with Lysol Brand II Disinfecting Wipes). It is important to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products.
Gloves are recommended when using cleaning supplies and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the products used. Discard gloves after cleaning, and hands should be thoroughly cleaned for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap and water afterward.
