Aqueous compositions for cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting using peroxycarboxylic acid compositions in combination with a high molecular weight polymer are provided. The compositions have a modified droplet size of the peroxycarboxylic acid composition when sprayed onto a surface in need of cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting. The compositions and methods of making and/or employing increase the use solution droplet size when sprayed to reduce the vapor level in the air to provide a composition having reduced inhalation risk coupled with the cleaning, sanitizing, and/or disinfecting properties.
