When COVID-19 began to spread, office cleaning companies adapted to the situation. They began using protective gear and advanced equipment and chemicals to reduce the chances of spreading pathogens. While New York is experiencing fewer cases by the day, the pandemic is not yet over. Remaining vigilant by maintaining a rigorous cleaning schedule will help keep your employees safe. 

What Equipment Are Cleaning Companies Using During COVID-19?

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Minuteman International® released the DS2 Mist-It!™ in April. The sprayer cleans surfaces of viruses and harmful germs and bacteria. Under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, surface sprayers must emit a minimum particle solution of 0.15 microns to combat pathogens. The DS2 emits a 30-micron particle solution, resulting in a deeper and more effective cleaning experience. Its accumulator provides a consistent pressure output, so all areas are cleaned evenly. 

The DS2 comes with a high-reach tool, allowing for office cleaning professionals to cover outlying areas. The sprayer also provides a high level of efficiency, capable of covering 15,000 square feet of surface in 15 minutes. 

Many cleaning companies are also relying on the VectorFog™ Z200. It's an ultra-low volume (ULV) cold disinfectant fogger listed and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Commonly used in medical facilities, the fogger also has applications in industrial and office settings. The Z200 creates a sanitizing and antimicrobial fog, effective in a range of 26.2 feet. The larger perimeter allows the fogger to cover large spaces in a short time. Its hose head is also adjustable, allowing for the fog to be sprayed at any angle. 

What Are the Cleaning Chemicals Being Used During COVID-19? 

Cleaning CompanyThe best equipment on the market will need the best cleaning chemicals to increase your office's safety. Office cleaning companies use Clean & Shine Neutral Disinfectant by Solutions Plus®. The American Chemistry Council (ACC) listed the solution as a useful product for fighting COVID-19's pathogens. It has also been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) so that the chemical will be harmful to bacteria but not people. Despite its potency, Clean & Shine leaves behind a pleasant odor that won't distract employees. 

As a neutral cleaner, it's usable on all surfaces without damaging glossy floor finishes or rusting metal objects. 

What Are Office Cleaning Tips to Follow During COVID-19?

Offices and properties need to be cleaned more often. Regardless of the facility's size or the number of employees, offices that are deep cleaned three times a week provide a safer environment.
