Single-step cleaner disinfectants: when one product does both

Single-step cleaner disinfectants (sometimes called “2-in-1” or “cleaner-disinfectants”) are designed to remove everyday soil while also disinfecting the surface—helping teams simplify workflows and improve consistency in high-traffic areas.

How do single-step cleaner disinfectants work

A single-step cleaner disinfectant combines:

• Cleaning action to lift and break down residues on the surface, and

• Disinfectant action from tested active ingredients to kill targeted microorganism often with short, practical contact times.

Single Step Cleaner Disinfectants like Siqura's UltraX are formulated to perform in both clean and “dirty” conditions, which can be valuable in real-world settings where surfaces aren’t always pristine.

Where they fit best

Single-step cleaner disinfectants like UltraX are a strong choice for:

• Routine disinfection of high-touch surfaces

• Fast turnarounds (when contact times support operational needs)

• Sites that need a simple, repeatable process across teams and shifts

The non-negotiables for performance

Single-step doesn’t mean “spray and hope.” For results you can trust:

• Remove visible soil first (if a surface is heavily soiled, a pre-clean improves reliability)

• Keep the surface wet for the full contact time—don’t wipe it dry too soon

• When using wipes, use a fresh wipe and work methodically (e.g., an “S” pattern), changing wipes if they become dry or dirty
  

Always use biocides safely and always read and follow product label and safety instructions.
