Wet time as been debated and debunked.
Its been noted that the EPA contact time is not “WET” time, its minutes undisturbed after the pathogen/virus/bacteria has come in contact with the product.
Test have been made in controlled environments with wind blowing on the treated surface as it dried up... and all tests confirmed that as along as you follow the EPA’s recommendations of contact time on the label, the products are effective.
“Wet time” is not a thing. Just think about it, Electrostatic sprayers do not leave a surface visibly wet for 10 minutes and most product dry up within minutes.

Link?

I am not so sure that the 10 minute wet time "has been debunked".

The importance of contact time and visible wetness to ensure effective disinfection
includes:

The most common industry practice is to ensure that the surface is kept visibly wet for the full contact time indicated on the product label. The contact time, also known as the wet time, is the time that the disinfectant needs to stay wet on a surface in order to ensure efficacy.

and

Disinfecting products usually include directions that instruct users to ensure that the surface is visibly wet for the contact time.
This practice does have its challenges though. Keeping a surface visibly wet can be difficult for disinfectants that require a long contact time, such as ten minutes.
Under some conditions, such as high temperatures and low humidity, it can also be difficult even for disinfectants with contact times as short as three or four minutes to stay wet. It is particularly challenging for disinfectants with high alcohol content, which evaporate quickly.
If the disinfectant does dry on the surface before the contact time is reached, label instructions usually require reapplication to ensure that the contact or wet time is met.

Hydrolyte: the front label on the Hydrolyte bottle includes:

This product kills 99.9% of bacteria in 2 minutes

however, the label on the back includes:

Treated surfaces must remain wet for 10 minutes. Allow surfaces to air dry.
