We hope you'll cast a vote in our new poll question that's now live on this site. While you're doing that, it's a great time to consider how your facility selects a product format. Many cleaner/disinfectant chemistries are available in multiple formats (dilutables, RTU sprays, RTU liquids, RTU wipes, etc.). What factors influence your decision to select one or more forms of the same disinfectant chemistry? Send your opinions in an email to me at kelly.pyrek@informa.com and I'll share them in a future blog entry.
