To achieve the optimal level of disinfection, the best choice would be:

  1. Standard household cleaner

  2. Hospital level disinfectant

  3. Soap and water

  4. Alcohol wipes

The correct answer is: Hospital level disinfectant

Hospital level disinfectants are specifically designed to kill harmful microorganisms that are commonly found in medical settings. They are the best choice for achieving the optimal level of disinfection. Standard household cleaners, although effective at cleaning everyday messes, may not be strong enough to kill all germs and bacteria. Soap and water is a good way to clean and remove visible dirt, but it may not be enough to disinfect surfaces. Alcohol wipes only kill certain types of bacteria and may not be effective against viruses or other types of harmful microorganisms.
