1. A device to clean, sanitize, or disinfect a surface to be cleaned using a fluid that is converted to an antimicrobial fluid comprising:
a body configured to be movable by a person to clean a surface;
a reservoir for holding a fluid;
a fluid;
wherein the fluid comprises water;
a pump for pumping the fluid to the body;
an applicator on the body for applying the fluid to one of the surface and a wipes substrate;
a non-thermal plasma generator for generating non-thermal plasma; and
wherein the non-thermal plasma generator is configured to generate non-thermal plasma in contact with the fluid, wherein contact with the non-thermal plasma changes the fluid to an activated fluid that includes one or more reactive species.
