I emailed one of the companies. They couldn't clarify if they meant kills 99.9% of known germs, or kills 99.9% by volume of germs. There is another thread on it somewhere. If they latter there is little point in the product.
 
It is more likely to be that it kills 99.9% by volume/mass of bacteria, fungi, viruses that are present on a surface. That number will most likely be derived from a lab test using a sample of various micro-organisms.

Germ is a very broad, non-specific term which I assume encompasses bacteria, viruses and fungi. It cant be 99.9% of all "germs" as there are so many species of bacteria, viruses and fungi that have yet to be discovered and categorised, not to mention the new species evolving all the time via mutations.
