The idea
Contact time is how long a surface or item must stay wet with a disinfectant for it to work.
In practice
The product label states the contact time, and federal law requires label instructions, including dilution and contact time, to be followed.
Where people slip
Wiping a disinfectant on and drying it off at once may not disinfect at all.
