Is there any guideline where disinfectants or sprays for disinfecting the operatory should be kept between uses between patients. Counter tops or cabinets, what is recommended for safety?

Depending upon the surface disinfectant product, the storage requirements may vary. If you have questions about product storage, it is recommended that you refer to the written product instructions for use (IFU) or contact the product manufacturer directly. It should also be noted that the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contains a Section 7 that pertains to product Handling and Storage. Further information about SDSs can be found at:
