Understand Three Tiers Cleaning Surface Cleaning Sanitizing And Disinfecting

A clean and hygienic environment is a must, especially in
commercial spaces with high foot traffic. To achieve peak cleanliness, it’s
necessary to understand the three tiers of cleaning: surface cleaning,
sanitizing, and disinfecting. 

Each tier serves a distinct purpose in removing dirt, eliminating
germs, and promoting a healthy environment. At Stratus Building Solutions, we
specialize in providing janitorial
services that encompass all three tiers, ensuring that your space
remains pristine and hygienic at all times.

1. Surface Cleaning: Removing Visible Dirt and
Debris

Surface cleaning is the first tier of cleaning and involves the
removal of visible dirt, dust, and debris from surfaces. While surface
cleaning alone may not eliminate harmful germs and bacteria, it contributes
to a neat and tidy environment. Common surface cleaning tasks include
dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces with a general-purpose
cleaner.

At Stratus Building Solutions, our janitorial services include
thorough surface cleaning to ensure that your space looks and feels clean.
Our trained professionals pay attention to detail, addressing every surface
from floors and countertops to furniture and fixtures. By regularly
performing surface cleaning tasks, we help create a welcoming and pleasing
environment for employees, clients, and visitors.

2. Sanitizing: Reducing the Number of Germs on
Surfaces

Sanitizing is the second tier of cleaning and involves reducing
the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level. While surface cleaning
removes visible dirt and debris, sanitizing targets bacteria, viruses, and
other microorganisms present on surfaces. Common sanitizing methods include
using EPA-approved disinfectants or sanitizers to kill or deter the growth of
germs.

At Stratus Building Solutions, we understand the importance of
proper sanitization in maintaining a healthy environment. Our janitorial
services include targeted sanitization of high-touch surfaces such as
doorknobs, light switches, handrails, and shared equipment. By focusing on
areas prone to contamination, we help reduce the risk of illness and promote
a hygienic workplace for everyone.

3. Disinfecting: Killing Germs and Pathogens on
Surfaces

Disinfecting is the highest tier of cleaning and involves killing
germs and pathogens on surfaces to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
While sanitizing reduces the number of germs, disinfecting goes a step
further by eliminating them entirely. Disinfectants are typically stronger
than sanitizers and are effective against a broader range of microorganisms,
including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

At Stratus Building Solutions, we use EPA-approved disinfectants
that are proven to kill a wide variety of germs and pathogens. Our janitorial
services include thorough disinfection of surfaces in high-traffic areas such
as restrooms, break rooms, and shared workspaces. By incorporating
disinfection into our cleaning regimen, we provide added peace of mind and
help protect the health and well-being of everyone in your
facility.

When you understand the three tiers of cleaning—surface cleaning,
sanitizing, and disinfecting—it is possible to maintain a clean and hygienic
environment. At Stratus Building Solutions, we specialize in providing
janitorial services that encompass all three tiers, ensuring that your space
remains pristine and free from harmful germs.
