Households should practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (for example: tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks, and electronics (see below for special electronics cleaning and disinfection instructions)) with household cleaners and EPA-registered disinfectants

It is extremely important that people follow the label instructions!  We can not stress this enough.  One of the golden rules used by professionals who apply chemicals in homes and business across the world ( restorative cleaning, pest control, restoration contractors, etc) is that the label is the law.  If you look on the back of any chemical product in your home, you will undoubtedly see the words “It is unlawful to use this product inconsistent with the label instructions”.

Labels contain clear instructions for safe and effective use of the product that outline where to use it, how much to use, and what steps tp take in order to ensure it is safe and effective. Labels contain safety information, areas where to apply and where not to apply, and mixing ratios, as well as dwell times.

As a professional with over 10+ years of experience in performing every kind of cleanup and extermination imaginable, I can not tell you the number of times when people had not followed the labeling, either by carelessness or by design.  These mistakes often can and do lead to inappropriate use of the product which could render it useless and ineffective or dangerous for both the applicator and the customer.
