  • Help when you need it the most. 

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that running an essential business is more than just providing a great product or a great service. Running a business requires the trust of your customers: Trust in your product and trust in the quality of your service, but more importantly than ever, trust that their safety and health are a priority.

Creating and maintaining a sanitary environment for both your customers and employees has become critical since the pandemic swept through the world. As we’ve seen from the first year of the pandemic, running a business and following all of the precautions needed to provide a clean environment can seem impossible to juggle. 

 

Luckily, there are companies that provide disinfection services to help you provide a hygienic workplace so that you can focus on what makes your business successful in the first place. In this article, we’re going to look at what disinfection services are and four reasons why you should consider hiring one.

  • What are disinfection services? 

Cleaning and disinfection services are sanitizing services offered by companies which periodically sanitize and disinfect office buildings or facilities. They employ professionally trained cleaners to sanitize your business based on CDC guidelines. Following these guidelines, members will use a variety of methods and cleaning products to ensure clean surfaces which cut down on the spread of viruses and bacteria.

 Usually, the teams responsible for cleaning your building will have years of janitorial experience as well as specific knowledge of how to clean to prevent outbreak of infectious disease. Now that we’ve established what disinfection services are, let’s look at the four reasons why you should consider using a disinfection service. 

 

1. Hiring disinfection services is hassle free. 

One of the biggest benefits of hiring disinfection services is that they won’t disrupt the flow of your business. Normally, workers would have to take time out of their day to clean and sanitize their work area which takes away from their work. Any good disinfection services will work around your business hours and ensure that your business continues to run smoothly and safely. 

Whether you want a deep clean after hours or periodic sanitation during the workday, these services will work seamlessly alongside your employees to provide a safe environment for employees and customers alike. 

2. Disinfection plans are made custom to fit your business.

Disinfectant services will often visit your business or facility and give you a free estimate which takes away any guesswork. With experience in all types of buildings, they will meet with you and walk you through what high touch surfaces are within your facility. These services will have different methods for whatever type of facility you have. For open areas, some services will use sprays and fogs to clean porous areas that are within reach.

 For more sensitive areas around technology, some services will manually and delicately clean with machines designed to limit overspray. For everything else, these services will do detailed work on the most touched surfaces around your building such as light switches, door handles, and bathroom fixtures. There’s no one-size fits all solution when it comes to sanitation, so let experts with years of experience use the right tools to help you maintain a clean and healthy environment for your business.

 

3. Professionals know where and how to clean. 

When business’s task their employees to clean their facilities, it’s difficult to know which parts of the building need to be sanitized. That is why it is important to make sure that they are highly trained.

Contact surfaces like door handles and desks are obvious, but other surfaces around the building that could potentially spread disease are not. When creating your personal disinfection plan, the disinfection services member will know where to look when it comes to identifying what areas receive the most traffic.

 

4. Disinfectant services have the best tools for the job. 

The best cleaning solutions start with choosing the right tools for the job, but sometimes these tools are far above commercial cleaning products. Using commercial disinfectant wipes can work in a pinch, but will clean as deeply or reliably as higher grade cleaning supplies. Disinfectant services have access to hospital grade disinfectant that is far more effective than what you would find at a store. 

These cleaning supplies are EPA registered disinfectants which means that they are environmentally friendly. A cleaning professional knows how to use these disinfectants to combat the current pandemic and provide the best results, especially with high touch point surfaces. If the safety of your employees and customers are a priority, you need professional cleaners who are specially trained to use the best cleaning supplies 

 

  • The New Standard

Disinfectant services can play a key part in keeping your business running smoothly and hygienically during the pandemic and beyond. Over the last year, we've learned firsthand how important it is to keep our customers and employees safe. By relying on professional cleaners, you can prioritize running the best business that you can with the peace of mind that you've minimized the risk of spreading infectious disease.

When looking for a professional disinfection service, make sure to look for a company that is adaptable and has guidelines that prioritize the health and safety of its workers. The pandemic has created a new standard of what we should expect from a business when it comes to how they care for their facilities.

Rather than expending unnecessary time and effort trying to meet these standards by yourself, lean on experts who will strive to provide a professional and personal experience that will remove any fear or doubt about the wellbeing of you and your customers.
