Due to recent health concerns about COVID-19, office cleaning is more important than ever. When you reopen your business, you don’t want to risk spreading the virus to your clients or between staff members, so follow these steps for the most effective clean.

How Can You Keep Your Office Safe & Healthy?

1. Use the Right Cleaners

Not every cleaning product performs equally well. For instance, did you know there’s a difference between sanitizing and disinfecting? Disinfectants are regulated and have a higher performance standard, killing more bacteria and microbes than sanitizers. Also, different cleaners are safe and effective on different surfaces. Be sure to research which products to use where to minimize the chance of contagion in your office.

2. Wash & Disinfect

In addition to using the right products, they also need to be used the right way to be effective. Surfaces should first be cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and debris, then disinfected to kill germs. The disinfectant also needs to be left in place to do its job instead of being wiped off immediately.

3. Clean High-Touch Surfaces

There are some areas in your office where germs are most likely to spread, meaning they need the most attention. The bathroom is an obvious area you likely think of as dirty, but what about the microwave in the break room, light switches, door handles, telephones, and waiting room furniture? Don't forget about these high-touch surfaces that are used by everyone.
