When you spray disinfectant on germs does it get rid of the germs completely or does it just kill them and leave little dead germ bodies behind?

Most disinfectants just kill the bacteria. They do not clean up or eliminate the bodies.
Bacteria can only hurt us in two ways:
1. by multiplying in our bodies
2. by living bacteria producing toxins.
Little dead germ bodies are mostly just tiny pieces of proteins and some fats.
Dead germ bodies shouldn't hurt anyone, but you may want to wash after disinfecting anyway.
