Professional disinfecting services kill bacteria and viruses that daily janitorial simply removes from sight. If you manage an office, gym, clinic or restaurant, the guide below shows what you’re buying, how long it takes, and what same-day service costs in the GTA.
Cleaning vs Sanitizing vs Disinfecting: What’s the Difference in 2025?
- Cleaning = removes soil (vacuum, wipe).
- Sanitizing = lowers germ count to safe levels (food-code standard).
- Disinfecting = destroys 99.999 % of listed bacteria/viruses (Health Canada DIN standard).
Janitorial handles the first two; professional disinfecting services deliver the third.
Health Canada Lists You Should Demand to See
- DIN list (Drug Identification Number) on the disinfectant label.
- PMRA registration for any residual antimicrobial.
- Interim COVID-19 approved list if you specify SARS-CoV-2 efficacy.
