Not an issue. Contact time doesn’t mean plunged and wet, it just means the time it takes for the product to be effective after being applied and undisturbed. A room could be given to a new patient after it has been cleaned and left alone for 10 minutes.

“In short, environmental professionals should wipe the surface, allow it to be treated and remain undisturbed for the stated contact time (e.g. 2 minutes). As long as the surface is wiped and remains undisturbed (regardless of perceived ‘wetness’ or ‘dryness’), efficacy can be assured, as this process aligns with the required EPA testing methodology/registration.”
