Disinfecting activity is usually done by mopping .the floor using Refisol clisinfectant. However, nobody knows how much dose is needed to effectively reduce the number of germs on the floor. Objective: to find out the effective dose of the Refisol disinfectant in reducing the rumber of germs on the floor. Method. This experimental research is applied pre-test control group design.

This number increases in the dose of 40mLt o 39,81%,in the dose of 50mL to 54,17%(the highest). Test in control treatment gain t:5,458 and p:0,002, in 30 mL dose t:10,102 and p:0,012, in 40 mL t:5,384 and p:0,013 while 50 mL dose is t:5,451 and p:0,012.
