A method for sanitizing a substrate by contacting a microbe containing substrate with a detergent composition for a sufficient time to substantially reduce the amount of microbes on the substrate. Metals, coated metals, plastics, rubber, dishware, countertops, fabric, wood surfaces, and other substrates can be sanitized by applying a light duty detergent composition, preferably a liquid, cream, paste, or gel detergent composition, which comprises an antimicrobial agent such as a surfactant. |
