Fomites have the capability of transferring infectious organisms from one person to the next. The purpose of a disinfectant is to kill or inhibit the growth of such organisms, though it is typically never 100% effective. Cleaning the fomite removes a lot of these organisms, increasing the effectiveness of the disinfectant once applied, since it has less organisms to kill/inhibit.
