    This document compares and contrasts sterilization, disinfection, and sanitation. Sterilization completely destroys all microorganisms on surfaces, disinfection destroys microorganisms on surfaces but not completely, and sanitation destroys microorganisms on the skin. The key similarity is that they all involve destroying microorganisms, but sterilization is the only process that can completely eliminate all microorganisms from surfaces.
