To disinfect electrical equipment you should use:

• A. Wipe with a cloth
• B. Soak in chlorine solution
• C. Spray on disinfectant
• D. Use heat

Answer: (C)

Disinfecting electrical equipment requires a method that disinfects effectively without getting liquid into the device where it could cause a short or corrosion. A spray-on disinfectant fits this need because it can cover surfaces with a controlled amount of liquid, reducing the risk of moisture seeping into openings. When using it, choose a product labeled safe for electronics and apply it according to the label directions—typically misted onto a cloth or lightly onto the surface and then wiped, with the device unplugged and allowed to dry completely. Soaking in chlorine solution risks flooding interior components and causing damage, wiping with a cloth alone may not achieve full disinfection, and applying heat is unsafe and not a reliable disinfection method for electrical equipment.
