We evaluated the utility and usability of a spray and a wipe-based cleaner/disinfectant in a behavioral health setting where health care providers institute cleaning and disinfection procedures. The spray-based version resulted in significantly lower adenosine triphosphate readings after use compared with the wipe version. Staff surveys indicated that users preferred the spray version.
