Why Office Cleaning And Sanitizing Hand Preferred Method

With the
rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and relaxing government restrictions on
in-person gatherings, many of us are returning to workplaces we haven’t seen
in months. It’s important to adopt or update our cleaning practices to keep
ourselves and our coworkers safe and healthy. Luckily, some of the most
effective cleaning methods don’t call for high-tech equipment, just a little
elbow grease.

Ask the Experts

The CDC, America’s foremost health protection agency,
is constantly updating guidelines and expert recommendations for how best to
maintain a clean and healthy workspace. Most recently, the CDC has emphasized
the importance of regular cleaning and disinfecting by hand, both at home and
at work.

For high-impact areas like elevators and bathrooms, or
frequently touched surfaces such as desks, phones, light switches, and door
handles, daily cleaning is recommended to be most effective. In most
instances, cleaning items and surfaces by hand using soap or detergent is
enough to reduce the presence of viruses and other harmful pathogens. 

For further efficacy, disinfection agents used after
the cleaning process can help inactivate any virus particles. This is
especially recommended in settings when a confirmed case of any virus has been
present in the past 24 hours. In most situations, using traditional
disinfectant methods, such as liquids, wipes, or disinfectant spray bottles,
is to reduce virus exposure.

Routine is
Key

Maintaining a routine cleaning practice in the
workplace is crucial for promoting a safe and healthy environment and
reducing the risk of illness. Daily cleaning also helps increase the lifespan
of office equipment and furnishings, reducing costs in the long
run.

Quality Control

Just as we appreciate hand-made things, there is no
denying the essential practice of cleaning by hand. As we have all become
more focused on our health and impact on the environment, the process of
cleaning by hand necessitates paying closer attention to product ingredients
and their efficacy and ecological implications.

Growing consumer awareness has resulted in a surge in
the global green cleaning
services market, making a plethora of products and technology
available that are both safe and effective to use by hand. Many commercial
cleaning products include harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Green
Seal certified products used by Stratus Building
Solutions’ commercial
cleaning professionals are non-toxic, biodegradable, and are an equally
effective, healthier alternative.
