Commercial cleaning and disinfecting in the age of Covid-19

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect everyday life, the requirements for cleaning and ensuring the safety of both staff and visitors is of the utmost importance.

Businesses have an obligation to ensure their premises are compliant with the highest cleaning standards upon opening.

It is not just about cleaning. Businesses should also familiarise themselves and employees on all new regulations and understand the difference between cleaning and disinfecting. Killing germs and pathogens is different to removing dirt and mess from surfaces.

To get you started, here are some top tips to cleaning and disinfecting during the pandemic.

1). Remember to disinfect the most frequently touched areas including:

  • Light switches

  • Door handles

  • Plugs/Plug sockets

  • Handrails

  • Keyboards

2). Clean communal spaces often including:

  • Tables

  • Kitchens (Kettles, Microwaves)

  • Toilets

3). Use the right chemicals

Make sure the chemicals you use are suitable for the surface and environment you will be using them on and that they are a GB authorised biocidal product.

4). Never mix chemicals

Many cleaning products contain different chemical ingredients and if mixed together can be very dangerous.

5). Clean clothing and uniforms

  • If you wear uniform, make sure it is fresh and not worn outside the workplace

  • Wear masks where necessary

6). Ensure you’re keeping to the necessary distance

Physical distancing from everyone over 12 years of age, and not in your household or extended household, is necessary to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

7). Don’t neglect to clean seating

Wipe and disinfect any communal seating with appropriate products. 

8). Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds

9). Have sanitising stations available for staff and visitors
