1. A method of depositing a composition comprising antibacterial agents on a hard surface, the method comprising the steps of:
identifying the hard surface onto which the composition will be deposited;
providing a device having a sensor, a reservoir for the composition, a CPU, and at least one microfluidic die comprising at least one nozzle;
locating the sensor over at least a portion of the hard surface;
activating the sensor to sense bacteria on the hard surface;
providing acquired information on the bacteria to the CPU;
instructing the CPU to calculate the location of the bacteria on the hard surface; and
activating the at least one nozzle to deposit the composition on the hard surface at the location of the bacteria.
