Should I use a disinfectant or all-purpose cleaner for cleaning surfaces in my apartment?

It depends on the specific surfaces and items you wish to clean. Disinfectants are effective in killing germs and bacteria, making them suitable for high-touch areas such as kitchen countertops, bathroom surfaces, and doorknobs. On the other hand, all-purpose cleaners are designed to clean a variety of surfaces and may not have the same level of disinfecting properties. If you are concerned about sanitizing and disinfecting your apartment, especially during periods of illness outbreaks, a disinfectant would be a better choice. However, for general cleaning purposes, an all-purpose cleaner should be sufficient.
