Enter 2021 With a Clean Workplace

Developing a cleaning plan for your workplace is the best way to ensure you are keeping a safe and healthy work environment. Having a regular routine, and a schedule with cleaning and disinfecting is more important now than ever, so you can keep your employees healthy and your facility operational. Returning to work in a COVID-19 world we find ourselves looking differently at the surfaces and equipment around us. On top of having a regular cleaning by either staff or an outside cleaning company, what exactly should your 2021 cleaning plan entail?

• Disinfecting

Disinfection is the process to kills germs by means of a chemical process. The CDC recommends to disinfect when there is a risk that someone who has been working in, or visiting the facility, is carrying a contagious illness. 

• High Touch Point Areas

Make note of all the high touch areas in your building. Some examples would be hand railings, door knobs, countertops, light stiches, printers, etc. Make sure that these surfaces are being sanitized regularly throughout the work day.

• Have a Deep Cleaning Schedule

Windows, upholstered furniture, and carpet are cleaning tasks that are often set aside, but germs and bacteria live on these surfaces as well, don't disregard them.

• Get Employees Involved

Encourage your employees to keep a clean workspace. Provide them with cleaning supplies they can use to wipe down their desks, keyboards, and phones. Also supply them with hand sanitizers they can keep with them at their work station and place sanitizer at high traffic areas throughout the building.

• Switch To Touchless Devices in the Kitchen and Bathrooms 

Touchless faucets, soap dispensers, and towels will keep these spaces cleaner and reduce contamination from germs. 

Providing a worry free and clean environment in your facility is manageable with the right plan of attack. Implementing a solid cleaning plan will keep employees safe and businesses open. Please contact us if your would like to learn more about having your facility thoroughly cleaned.
