Although we still hear of cases now and then; it has been almost 2 years since the COVID-19 Pandemic officially ended. As word of the Pandemic spread and countries began to lockdown, deep cleaning, disinfecting and sanitising became the buzz-words of the day with many organisations and institutions promoting and encouraging education on basic hygiene and the importance of anti-viral / anti-bacterial cleaning. Every household and business took extra precautions to “stop the spread” of the virus…
But is anti-viral cleaning and disinfecting still recommended today? The answer is YES!
If the Pandemic taught us anything, it’s the importance of maintaining excellent hygiene and regularly disinfecting common areas and shared spaces – which is especially true during flu season!
3 Proven Reasons Anti-Microbial Cleaning & Disinfecting is Still Recommended Today
1. Remove Allergens
Seasonal changes bring on many allergies, often triggered by dust mites, pet dander, mould and other microbes. As the weather grows colder, we spend more and more time indoors breathing in these small allergy-inducing particles which can lead to severe reactions and illnesses.
Expert Anti-Microbial Cleaning can remove 99% of these allergen causing microbes creating a healthier environment for all to enjoy.
2. Eliminate Illness Causing Germs
With colder weather comes the onset of flu season, and as we all learnt during the Pandemic, these germs can spread quickly! This is especially true in common areas and shared spaces – from classrooms to boardrooms or factory floors – where many people come in close proximity to one another.
A Professional Cleaning Service that uses Specialised Enzyme Disinfectants can expertly clean these areas removing 99% of viral & bacterial contamination.
3. Maintain Productivity
Not only does a clean and hygienic environment help reduce the risk of absenteeism from allergies and illnesses; but studies have also shown that people tend to be more productive, motivated and less stressed with greater focus and attention to detail.
This is especially necessary during the cooler winter months with less time spent outdoors in the fresh air and warm sunshine known to naturally improve one’s overall mood.
How Often Should I Be Cleaning & Disinfecting?
How often deep cleaning and disinfecting should occur depends on the space and its usage. Common areas shared by many and high-contact surfaces like door handles or counter tops should be treated more frequently than private offices or low contact surfaces like walls.
Offices, factories, schools, hotels, restaurants etc. with many staff, students or patrons should be deep cleaning and disinfecting common and high traffic areas at least once a week to ensure overall health and wellness.
During flu season, the frequency of anti-microbial deep cleaning and disinfecting should be increased and it is advised that anti-viral fogging be included regularly to help combat the spread of illness causing germs during peak flu seasons.
