A » Disinfection and sterilization are both methods of decontamination, but they differ in their level of effectiveness. Disinfection eliminates most harmful microorganisms on surfaces, excluding spores, whereas sterilization destroys all forms of microbial life, including spores, often using methods like autoclaving or radiation. Sterilization is critical in medical and laboratory settings, while disinfection is typically sufficient for everyday cleaning purposes in homes and businesses.
