Commercial Disinfection Services Your First Line of Defense
There is no easy way of putting it, we are in the middle of the hardest hitting pandemic of the modern era. For many essential businesses, however, it is a time to rise to the challenge it presents to continue providing for their communities.
Now more than ever before, businesses need to do everything they can to protect their staff and the communities they serve. The first line of defense for any facility manager is commercial disinfection services.
A professional, reputable, experienced and effective commercial cleaning company is the best way to limit and control the spread of the COVID-19 virus in your building.
Using industry proven techniques and CDC recommended practices, a professional disinfection service provider can help keep your building clean and occupants safe.
Your Commercial Disinfection Service Must Understand the Science Behind Cleaning
Understanding how viruses and other pathogens spread around a building is absolutely critical to proper commercial disinfection and sanitization.
Cleaning today is far different than it was twenty years ago. Advancements in virology and pathology have given us a much better understanding of how disease is transmitted and the best ways to prevent it.
If your office disinfection service or commercial disinfecting service isn’t up to date with modern best practices, you aren’t getting the protection you need.
Commercial cleaning services that ignore established standards often do more harm than good.
Take the color-coded microfiber rag system used at Stathakis. It provides a clear visual indication of which cloth belongs to which cleaning task to prevent cross-contamination.
The last thing you want is a poorly trained cleaner using restroom cloths on surfaces people frequently touch.
Proper Cleaning Starts With a Solid Restroom Disinfection Service
According to one study, there can be up to 229,000 germs per square inch on a bathroom surface.
If there is one place where coronavirus—or any workplace illness—is most likely to spread, it is the restroom.
The first step in a solid defensive strategy against bacteria, viruses and pathogens is a properly disinfected restroom space.
The damp environment and frequent use make restrooms ideal for germ growth, but a well-trained team can manage them effectively using practices such as:
- Observing proper dwell times for disinfectants to allow them to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
- Targeting hard-to-reach areas like grout, toilet bases and sink edges.
- Thoroughly disinfecting touch points including handles, dispensers and faucets.
If your current restroom disinfecting service is not following these practices, it is time to make a switch. This is not the time to settle for subpar cleaning.
An Office Disinfection Service Needs Office Disinfection Tools
You need the right tools for the job, and that applies equally to disinfection services.
Office buildings have a high number of hard, non-porous surfaces, so a professional office disinfecting service must use tools designed for these surfaces.
At Stathakis, Electrochemical atomizer fogging units are used to thoroughly disinfect hard surfaces and ensure they are clean and germ-free.
Having the correct equipment is just as important as having proper training.
