Contaminated, the disinfectant-detergent residual looses its germ-killing effect. This type of product should not come in contact with food, be used around open(unprotected) food products, or be applied to food preparation surfaces. [...] A disinfectant-detergent solution is used to leave a germicide residual on a 100% clean surface. If a germicide is applied into soil, the germicide will be contaminated and rendered ineffective. Once a surface that has been properly treated with a germicide is touched by a human, animal, plant, or something "dirty", washing, rinsing, and treating must be performed again in order to reinstate the protection. If an unspoiled treatment sets on a surface longer than its residual time(6± hours), its germ-killing muscle ceases. e. g. Hospital operating and emergency room surfaces, patient room surfaces prior to the arrival of a new patient, etc. 4, record 2, English, - cleaner%20detergent

Un détergent n'a pas d'action antibactérienne. Il va simplement décoller les salissures. Il faut, pour avoir une action antibactérienne, utiliser un détergent désinfectant. Trois types de produits seront finalement utilisés pour une procédure de désinfection, soit : le détergent simple soit qui va décoller les salissures et les rendre plus solubles dans l'eau; le détergent désinfectant (ou nettoyant désinfectant) dont l'action supplémentaire sur les microorganismes va réduire la charge bactérienne; le désinfectant : qui a une action bactéricide, virucide, fongicide et sporicide. Il s'adresse uniquement à des instruments ou à une surface. 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9tergent%20d%C3%A9sinfectant

The Halifax Public Gardens are more than an open space or park. They are a rare example of a formal Victorian public garden surviving intact and relatively unspoiled in the heart of a modern city. Officially opened in 1867 The Halifax Public Gardens have survived for more than a century. Thanks to a series of talented and dedicated superintendents they have been little altered and still retain much of their original Victorian character. 1, record 3, English, - Halifax%20Public%20Gardens
