Cleaning vs. Sanitizing vs. Disinfecting: What’s the Difference?

Deep Cleaning in Pinellas County: Why Disinfection Matters for a Truly Healthy Home

When most people think about “cleaning,” they picture wiping down counters, vacuuming floors, and maybe scrubbing the bathroom sink. But here at 727 Cleaning Services, we know there’s a big difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting — and understanding that difference can be the key to a healthier home.

Cleaning vs. Sanitizing vs. Disinfecting: What’s the Difference?

• Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and debris from surfaces. It’s what makes your home look tidy.

• Sanitizing reduces the number of germs on a surface to a safe level, but it doesn’t kill all bacteria or viruses.

• Disinfecting goes further — it eliminates nearly all germs, bacteria, and viruses on a surface. This is especially important in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-touch areas.

At 727 Cleaning Services, we don’t stop at “looking clean.” We disinfect all high-touch surfaces, entire bathrooms, and kitchen counters with professional-grade germicide during every deep clean, move-in, or move-out service. This ensures a superior clean that helps protect your family’s health.

Why Germicide Disinfection Is Worth It

Think about how many times a day you touch:

• Light switches

• Door handles

• Faucet handles

• Refrigerator doors

These are hotspots for germs and bacteria — and regular cleaning products often miss the mark. Our germicide treatment targets and destroys harmful microorganisms, giving you more than a surface-level clean.

Take It to the Next Level: Ozone Treatment

For customers who want the ultimate clean, we offer ozone treatment as an add-on to any deep clean, move-out, or move-in service. This advanced process cleans at the molecular level, neutralizing odors, bacteria, mold spores, and viruses throughout your home.
