I like this article because it seems to be like a lot of people in the US equate the smell of bleach or lysol with cleanliness, which is far from the case and we now know, could be harmful. You should not let the floor dry with cleaning product, you should first rinse it with water. Plus, there is increasing recognition that our mucosal surfaces are covered by 'helpful bacteria' and when you get rid of them the pathogenic bacteria are in more direct contact with your epithelium. I don't see why a similar mechanism would not exist for inanimate surfaces - maybe having a thin coating of 'good dust' is better than letting a pathogen stick directly to the tiles? In a few years maybe cleaning products will come with a post-cleaning/pre-biotic solution which includes 'good bacteria' or 'good fungi' to form a new barrier on your clean home surfaces.
