Ahhh... it's a marketing ploy. If 99% of our germs were killed, we'd be soon to follow. Germs are good!, but the marketing industry would love you to believe that you have to be totally germ free to live more than a week!
Dunno how old you are, but back when I was growing up there was nothing except maybe Lysol that claimed to clean up the germs, and that was 'expensive', so most of my friends and my household didn't buy it. We lived.
Looking around today, there are bleach wipes, butt wipes, allergies and contagins that affect all the kids.... Ummm... maybe there is a correlation? Kill all the germs and we get no immunity from them?
I'm sure if you ask any grandparents today, they'll say they have to keep the kids from germs,,,, but the methods are artificial,,, the grandparents are still around today without all the "products". What's up with that?
There's a country radio song out now that says something about a 'different world'... we drank from the garden hose, we had moms that drank and smoked, we had cribs with lead based paint, we didn't ride our bikes with helmets... all that stuff,,,, and we survived. Don't know the exact words, but that's the gist of it.

There are those in the scientific community who have expressed concern over the proliferation of household germ/bacteria killers and whether or not this may be breeding disinfectant resistant strains of the bugs.
To what extent this may be a real problem vs. an imagined problem I don't know.

It means that there is no way that there can ever be 0% germs no matter what you do at your house. They can't say 100% because that isn't possible but that 99% is.

That 1% of germs makes a fast comback. Germs reproduce by splitting themselves in half, and then the halves split themselves in half and so on. So, basically all you're doing is killing germs for about 5 mins.

Be content with the 99% and don't sweat the small stuff. That is a great percentage and much more than most households enjoy.

It's just so they won't get sued, because if you do a test on the air, there will still be some germs left.

it' for insurance purposes son. IF it said it kills 100% of all germs it would have to really own up to it.

These are germs that have adapted and mutated and is immune to the cleaner.
