The "Contact time" is the time required for the disinfectant to act on pathogens. With liquid disinfectants, the contact time requires the disinfectant to remain wet on the surface in order for it to work effectively. The contact time can vary depending on the microorganisms involved, which is why our efficacy tables show different times for different pathogens.
