In this news segment, Dr. Wiencek discussed why and how you should be reading the small print on household labels for disinfectants or sanitizers. Dr. Wiencek explained that these chemical products have a prescribed dwell or wet time, noting that “Even for the ones that are used at home, it’s important to know what these labels tell us so as to make sure we’re using them correctly.” There are many common misconceptions about these sensitive chemicals. Contec leveraged the live broadcast as a forum to ask consumers whether or not they are presently using household cleaning products properly.
