Spoiler & go arounds

Enlighten me, please, heavy metal flyers:
"Spoilers armed" checklist item means the spoilers will deploy automatically on ground contact via a main gear squat switch or similar, si?
A go around after ground contact must therefore require some nifty throwing of switches or are the spoilers disabled by some other means?
I imagine a go-around after ground contact in a plane big enough to have spoilers is a rather serious event and one would not like to be attempting it with deployed spoilers?
I think I have it wrong? Can someone advise please?
Thank you
