| Abstract | The purpose of this experiment is to determine which commonly used cleaning products are most effective at reducing bacteria growth on school surfaces. Products containing various active ingredients were chosen to allow broader comparisons and accurate measurements of bacterial growth. Based on prior research, we hypothesise that disinfectants containing alcohol, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or qua ternary ammonium compounds will produce the least growth because of their rapid destruction of cells. |
