Not knowing the disinfectant you are using, You can use it and allow it to sit about 10 minutes then rinse it off. That way, it has effectively killed the bacteria and by rinsing you have washed away anything that could harm your child. A great disinfectant that won't harm surfaces and is very safe to use in kid areas, is 1/4 cup white vinegar mixed in a spray bottle with 3 and 3/4 cup water. If you like bleach, you can mix 1 capful per quart of water. That is more than enough to disinfect but you will need to allow it to dry. Don't forget to clearly label your spray bottles.

If you aren't sure I wouldn't use it on surfaces where food is prepared.. Prepare food on a cutting board surface OR rinse the area you use the disinfectant with clean water. You can use a solution of vinegar/water to clean food prep surfaces and NOT have to worry about poisoning anybody.. good luck

what you want to look for on a cleaner where food is going to be prepared is something that states "bacterial disinfectant," I know they make a clorox cleaner for the kitchen that is designed to be used to clean areas where food is prepared

i really wouldn't want to rush and say it is safe but really the use of using a disinfectant is to make it safe. it should say if it causes any harm. so if it's a disinfectant for the kind of surface you want to use it on i should think it will be fine

If you do not have any worktop cleaner, use hot soapy water , rinse off with clean warm water and dry the area, before using the worktop again, ADVISE AGAINST USING DISINFECTANT.

I go along with MU, but I will just remind you that you have to be using disposable paper towels, or your kitchen sponge will re-infect the area.
This is my help from Washington, DC, United States of America.

if it is well diluted, it should be fine, make sure the surface has dried before preparing food

Yes absolutely fine as long as it's well diluted and rinsed away.

I always say if in doubt, dont. If I was that concerned I would maybe use one of those Milton wipes.
