Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Warm soapy scrubbing is the best option for disinfecting a surface after wiping up a spill. Soap helps to break up the oil and remove any remaining film, while the scrubbing action physically removes any remaining contaminants on the surface. Bleach, heavy metal disinfectants, isopropanol, and chlorhexidine-containing solutions are all more appropriate for disinfecting surfaces that have been contaminated with harmful bacteria or viruses, but are not necessary for a simple vegetable oil spill.
