What is the correct way of disnfecting an object or surface - 1. spray the chemical all over it, wait and wipe, 2. dip a cloth in the chemical, squeeze the excess liquid and wipe the object & wait, 3. soak the object in the liquid, wait & wipe clean?

Disinfecting: The correct way to use a disinfectant should be listed on the label. Different disinfectants have different modes of action, and all of the 3 option that you list in your question could be correct depend on what product you are using. You already know that some objects should only be surface cleaned, and not immersed in a liquid. Choose the correct product for the surface you want to clean.
