Especially with the pandemic still going on around us, cleaning high-touch areas in places like schools, workstations, restaurants, and other such establishments are a critical task to be done. As the name implies, high-touch areas are places where many people tend to touch, like door handles, the coffee maker, and other common appliances and surfaces. All it takes is for one person to be infected and be in contact with one of these high touchpoint areas—and anyone else that is to touch the same spot will be at high risk of contracting the virus too!
To stop this problem from happening at your place, here is what you can do to clean and disinfect high touchpoint areas to stay virus-free:
- Spend the time to know the appropriate cleaning products
For both cleaning and disinfecting products, you need to spend the time to understand what you need to follow to ensure the products are effective. For instance, you may find out that some disinfecting products may need to settle in for about a minute to work well, while others go for much longer. Also, knowing what products address which specific types of bacteria or even viruses is a must to ensure you pick the right type for the job.
You may find that you need to use different types of products to achieve total cleanliness—which is why understanding what needs to be done to use these products effectively will help create a safe environment!
- Understand how surface types affect the cleaning method
Be it the surface type or the surface shape, these factors can greatly affect the appropriate cleaning and disinfecting method to keep the place clean and virus free. For instance, you need to understand how a specific surface may react to a disinfectant to see if you can leave the solution long enough to kill the virus without damaging the surface. As for the shape of the surface, you need access to different tools to ensure the nooks and crannies of the surface are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- Train your cleaner on the cleaning technique that works
Once you have figured out the appropriate cleaning techniques to ensure all your high-touch areas are clean and virus-free, you will need to train your cleaning team to do the job. Ensure there is a checklist they can follow to track their activities and make sure everyone has the mindset of getting rid of as much of the germs as possible.
If, in any case, you do not have access to a good team or a big enough team, we highly recommend outsourcing to cleaning services. You won’t have to train them either, as the professionals will already have access to the knowledge and tools needed to clean and disinfect your building.
Conclusion
With the pandemic still going on, keeping your property virus-free has never been as important as now. The last thing you want to deal with is one of your students, coworkers, customers, or anyone else catching the virus because they were on your property! Act now and set up cleaning techniques so that your cleaners can keep your property safe and clean.
