Disinfection

Disinfection is a way to clean and make things germ-free. Germs are tiny creatures that can make people sick, but we can't see them with our eyes because they are too small. Disinfection is like using a special magic spray to kill all the germs so they cannot hurt us.

When we want to disinfect something, we need to use a special chemical called a disinfectant. It's like a superhero that can defeat all the bad germs. We can use disinfectants to clean toys, tables, and even our hands.

To use a disinfectant, we need to follow some important instructions. We have to put on gloves to protect our hands and then spray the disinfectant on the surface we want to clean. After that, we have to wait for a few minutes so the disinfectant can kill all the germs.

Once the waiting time is over, we can wipe the surface with a clean cloth, and all the germs will be gone! This helps keep us safe and healthy, and it's important to disinfect things regularly so we don't get sick from any germs that might be around.
