Precautions – Our cleaning routine to prevent any potential infection
The most safe decision is going on self isolation and doing the cleaning yourself. There are certain situations when it is needed to carry on with the cleaning services. The protocol that we follow is :
- Touchpoints to be cleaned more thoroughly
- The methods and materials to be used to clean
- Extra cleaning services available to sanitize are for safety of staff and public
- Touchpoints to be cleaned more thoroughly
What touch-points would be cleaned?
The frequently touched surfaces within your premises are likely to include the following:
- Desktops and work surfaces
- Doorknobs and handles
- Light switches
- Computer keyboards
- Telephone handsets and headsets
- Office and reception chairs
- Canteen furniture
- Crockery, cups, glasses, trays and utensils
- Sinks and kitchens
- Toilets (handles, taps, toilet flush button)
- Water fountains
- Vending machines
- Tablets and digital devices
- Lifts and escalators.
- The methods and materials to be used to clean
Disinfectants
For general precautionary cleaning, detergent and water are adequate. Many general household products contain the appropriate concentrations of active ingredients (AIs) for disinfection of areas that are very likely to be contaminated with COVID-19 virus (i.e., bedroom of a person confirmed to have COVID-19).
The AIs and their effective concentrations listed below in Table 1 have been shown to be effective against known coronaviruses. In addition to the use of cleaning agents, other treatments effective against known coronaviruses include steam and heat treatment. As the COVID-19 virus is new, no study has been published on the virus. This assessment is thus based on published scientific studies on coronaviruses, a group to which the COVID-19 virus belongs.
BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided many resources to assist healthcare facilities, community sites, businesses, and households in preventing the spread of the virus. One CDC site provides the following recommendations:
- Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs, using a detergent or soap and water before disinfection.
- Wear disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning. If reusable gloves are used, those gloves should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for COVID-19 and should not be used for other purposes. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and disinfection products used. Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.
- For disinfection, diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70 percent alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.
- Extra cleaning (DEEP CLEANING) services available to sanitize your premises – for the safety of staff and public
