Hydrogen Peroxide Solution
Hydrogen peroxide works as a disinfectant by destroying essential components of germ cells and can deactivate a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
According to the CDC, a concentration of 3% hydrogen peroxide can inactivate rhinovirus (the common cold virus) in eight minutes! Now, imagine what it can do for the novel coronavirus! However, it’s also vital to understand that you must clean before you sanitize.
Clean and then Sanitize
By itself, a general-purpose cleaner won’t eliminate bacteria or viruses, but you should always start here. After you properly clean any surface, you can then sanitize it. However, before sanitizing, begin with a general-purpose cleaner because the surface should always be clear of dirt and debris.
Sanitizers reduce microorganisms on a surface to a level considered safe by public health standards, which is 99.9 percent within 30 seconds. A disinfectant kills nearly 100 percent (99.999 percent) of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on a surface in a five to ten minute period.
Sanitizing Businesses’ WorkSpaces to Protect Your Customers
If a surface is spotless, you usually only need to sanitize high-touch or high-germ exposure areas. However, it’s vital to sanitize critical areas where there are bodily fluids or blood present if you work in the healthcare or hospital setting. Other areas, where specific medical procedures can lead to a higher risk of infection, should also be disinfected.
Janitorial services, like Crystal Cleaning, can apply a general-purpose cleaner 90% of the time for high-touch surfaces, restroom floors. However, at a time like this, we need to sanitize all areas to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
In restaurants, sanitizers are sufficient to clean dishes and utensils, as well as tables and surfaces. Sanitizers kill bacteria quickly and effectively so that surfaces and tableware are ready for repeated use.
Where building occupants are more vulnerable to germs, there will be a greater need for sanitizing, such as in healthcare, education settings, or apartment buildings.
Office building owners should sanitize high-touch surfaces, such as elevator buttons, door handles, and toilet flush handles. Sanitize areas where occupants come in direct contact with a surface, such as a shower floor in a gym.
Professional Cleaners Can Save Pinellas County Businesses
As we are al well aware, health concerns are on the full rise. The CDC listed “sanitizing frequently touched services and objects” as an everyday preventative action to combat the novel coronavirus. It’s no wonder then that professional cleaning services are needed more than ever.
Households and commercial spaces are reaching out to janitorial services to lower contamination by scheduling daily, weekly, and on-call cleaning services to combat the COVID-19 virus.
Crystal Cleaning is committed to keeping Pinellas County companies sustainable with our business-opening product Blue Ox MAXX.
