Control the Spread of Virus and Germs in Your Workplace: Hire Professional Cleaning Services

January 29, 2020

More and more employees are likely to be bothered by the sound of someone coughing, sneezing and sniffing. Researchers claim that bacteria located in one or two locations can immediately spread and cover 40-60 percent of all surfaces in as little as two hours. The largest predictor for how much of a problem the common colds, influenza and other illnesses are going to be for you and your facility is how well your cleaning company does their job. While effective cleaning is no substitute for employee hand washing, sneezing and coughing etiquette and staying home when one is ill, it can significantly control the spread of virus and germs in your workplace. That is why professional cleaning services are imperative to control the spread of virus and germs in your workplace.

Professional Cleaning Services Targets Touch Points

A good professional cleaning service can target hot spots and touch points in your workplace to maximise the effectiveness of their services. Cleaning done on elevator buttons, railings, desks, door handles, phones and light switches is inherently more valuable in the defence of disease than baseboard for example. Frequently touched areas, or “touch points” are havens for disease causing bacteria to spread to everyone in your building, thus becoming potential “hot spots.” Targeting these areas is the first step in reducing the risk of illness in your office.

Professional Cleaning Services Uses Right Products

There are all kinds of powerful, disease fighting chemicals to choose from, but without knowledge of how to use them they are not maximally effective. With proper training through a professional service provider, they will know the need to clean first, sanitise second as well as what a dwell time is and how to effectively use different cleaning solutions. Dwell times are the duration in which a cleaning product must cling to a surface to effectively reduce and eliminate germs. Commercial cleaning must go beyond a rag and a bucket with a focus on best practices in order to make your facility truly clean.

Professional Cleaning Services Ensures that a Hand Sanitiser is Equipped

While hand washing is optimal, we all know that hand sanitisers are a good preventative measure when you can’t or don’t have time to wash your hands. But which types are the best? Alcohol based hand sanitizers with at least 60 percent alcohol solution are the most effective way to clean your hands outside of good old soap and water. Lower alcohol formulas in hand sanitizer won’t be particularly effective at removing or killing pathogens on your hands. Of course, this isn’t a substitute for washing your hands, but it can be another tool in your arsenal to help reduce unnecessary illness.

Hiring professional cleaning services is beneficial for you and your employees so that they don’t get sick. Clean facilities also boost their productivity and performance since they get to enjoy the office a lot more.
