Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con una expresión al español relacionada con un desinfectante de grado hospitalario: “sanitize”. Lo he encontrado como “desinfectar”, sin embargo, en este texto aparece junto a desinfectar, con significado diferente. Muchas gracias:

“- HaloFogger:
- Sprayer:

Prior to disinfection or sanitization, preclean surface. For use on hard, non porous, nonfood contact surfaces only. Spray 2 to 3 seconds until (thoroughly) (wet) (covered with mist)

To Disinfect: Let stand for 10 minutes (to air dry) (rinsing not required).

To Sanitize: Let stand for 5 minutes (to air dry) (rinsing not required) (If desired) (wipe with paper towel).

To Deodorize: Spray on surfaces as needed (let air dry). If desired wipe.”
