Many people will use the wipe on one surface, pick up live bacteria and use the wipe on another surface transferring the bacteria there. The advice is that you throw the disinfectant wipe away after you’ve cleaned each surface. If you don’t you’re only spreading bacteria.

Remember also that the main culprit in spreading germs are your hands. Wash your hands in warm water and soap. The germs are lifted by the soap and are rinsed away in the running water. Use soap that is not antibacterial because we overuse antibacterial products and are actually strengthening the bacteria that we don’t kill.
