Answer 2

Answer:

Cleaning removes dirt (dry or wet) from the surface.Cleaning removes food and other types of soil from a surface such as a countertop or plate.Cleaning is the chemical or physical process of removing dirt or soil from surfaces. Cleaning removes 90-99% of the bacteria, but thousands of bacteria may still be present.

Sanitizing is the process that results in reduction/destruction of microbes.Sanitizing reduces the number of pathogens on that clean surface to safe levels. To be effective, cleaning and sanitizing must be a 4-step process. Surfaces must be cleaned, rinsed, sanitized, and allowed to air dry.
