- After applying the beach solution let the surface you are disinfecting air dry.
Notes
To clean and disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces:
- Spray directly on surfaces or apply with cloth and wet surfaces completely.
- Let stand 5 minutes.
- For heavily soiled surfaces, preclean surface before disinfecting.
