CLEANING AND DISINFECTING CAN FURTHER PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN THE WORKPLACE 
​Cold and flu season brings its own set of challenges to the workplace. Combine those seasonal health and environment risks with the Covid-19 pandemic and risks increase considerably. The good news is there are proven cleaning and disinfecting methods that help keep your employees and guests healthy in the workplace.

Cleaning vs Disinfecting
Cleaning and disinfecting are part of a broad approach to preventing infectious diseases in the workplace. Cleaning has always been a staple in the workplace but it’s also the first step to ensure proper disinfection. For any disinfectant to kill a virus on a surface, the surface must first be clean. Otherwise, the disinfectant cannot adhere to the surface and do its job. Many of our customers have added weekly disinfecting on top of their daily cleaning schedule ​

High-Touch Points
We place emphasis on the cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch points such as light switches, doors, handrails, elevator buttons, restroom faucets, paper dispensers, break room appliances, and other objects that are touched frequently.  This is an important part of our cleaning and disinfecting schedule, and we can work with you to identify the critical areas of your facility.

Equipment & Chemicals
For effective disinfecting, the use of appropriate EPA registered chemicals and adherence to manufacturer guidelines including proper dwell times.  If your current cleaning company is not allowing the chemical to remain on the surface long enough to kill the germ or virus, then the process is ineffective.

Colds, Coughs, Sneezes & Precautions
While proper cleaning and disinfecting are effective in the fight against the spread of germs, Center for Disease Control (CDC) reminds individuals that their own actions can also help stop the spread during cold and flu season. Here are five useful tips from CDC;
• If you are sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. 
​• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
