To disinfect electrical equipment, what should be used?

Using a spray-on disinfectant is appropriate for disinfecting electrical equipment because it allows for an even application over surfaces that may have intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas. Spraying can effectively cover these areas without oversaturating them, which is important since excess moisture can damage electrical components. Additionally, many spray disinfectants are designed to evaporate quickly, minimizing the risk of moisture-related issues while ensuring that pathogens are effectively killed.

While liquid disinfectants can also be effective, they are typically better suited for more extensive surfaces or soak applications. Wipe disinfectants offer convenience but may not reach into crevices as effectively as a spray. Powder disinfectants are generally not recommended for this purpose, especially in the context of electrical equipment, as they may leave residues or cause problems if they get into openings or on electrical components. Thus, spray disinfectants strike a good balance between effective application and safety for electrical devices.
