Breaking Down the Cleaning Process: CRC Technical Bulletin

Toronto, Ontario ⁠— For automotive industries, navigating the new COVID-19 cleaning protocols can be tricky. With so many different types of cleaning materials on the market, confusion is bound to happen. Understanding the proper use of cleaners, disinfectants and how they work together is essential in minimizing risk. 

CRC Canada⁠, a Toronto-based chemical wholesaler⁠, has released a technical bulletin entitled, ‘The Urgent Need for Proper Workplace Cleaning and Disinfecting of Hard Non-Porous Surfaces’ to help eliminate some of this confusion by explaining the different types of cleaning products and their specific functions. 

 CRC says that cleaning products can fall under four categories: cleaner, sanitizer, disinfectant, and sterilant—each serving a different purpose in the cleaning process. 

CRC’s breakdown of the four types of cleaning products are as follows:

Cleaner Sanitizer Disinfectant Sterilant
