We operated two flights with an incorrect MEL applied. Flights A and B were operated under the incorrect MEL. MEL XX-X-XX was applied to Aircraft. The correct MEL should have been XX-X-XY.  Due to flight deck wipe down I did not review logbook and MEL closely enough nor did I make sure I communicated completely with FO for confirmation.I need to remember to utilize CRM when it comes to MEL compliance.
Air carrier Captain reported operating flights with an incorrect MEL applied. The flight deck sanitizing process was cited as a reason for not closely reviewing the logbook and MEL.
