Coronavirus (Covid-19) has been among us for the last two years. Governments of different countries are trying their best and using Covid-19 cleaning to stop the spread of this virus and keep their people safe. However, the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is causing this disease, with its mutation, is making it hard for everyone to survive.
As of September 2021, four major versions of SARS-CoV-2 are circulating among the global population: the alpha version referred to as B.1.1.7, the beta version as B.1.351, the gamma version as P. 1, and the delta version is called B.1.617.2.
The delta type is highly contagious and is likely to be more serious. Also, breakthrough infections caused by Delta can be as communicable as unvaccinated cases.
Coronavirus spreads when an infected person breathes out droplets and tiny particles that contain the virus. Infected people can also contaminate the surfaces they touch. The virus is rapidly spreading; the main advice to prevent COVID-19 is to practise stringent hygiene measures.
Other than vaccination, there are a few vital precaution measures that can help everyone to stay safe from this deadly virus. Taking these precautions becomes necessary, especially if you have an important business that has to function during this pandemic time.
It is necessary to take every precaution to protect the people who use your premises, including your employees, visitors and members of the public.
These hygiene measures include regular cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting surfaces and other high-touch stuff. Even when the restrictions will be lifted, there is a possibility that more waves and variants will come. In this case, we all have to be vigilant and continue to use all the hygienic practices.
How Effective Is Disinfecting Against Covid-19?
Disinfecting comes between sanitizing and sterilizing. It is more effective than sanitizing and less effective than sterilization.
While sanitizing is the process of reducing (not killing) the virus population, sterilization is a process that destroys or eliminates all types of microbial life and is performed in health care facilities. Disinfection destroys or inactivates both bacteria and viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces.
Disinfecting surfaces is proven the best way to help reduce the risk of spreading germs and viruses from surfaces by touch.
Make TouchPoints Virus-Free
Commercial and public spaces such as offices, hospitals, schools, social care, retail stores, hotels and public transport have many contact points that people commonly share, including door handles, light switches, supermarket trolleys and baskets, cashpoints, petrol pumps, elevators, rubbish bins, kitchen and dining surfaces, taps, kettles, toilet flush handles or buttons, stair rails, handrails, grab handles, grab rails, recycling areas, vehicles, and many more surfaces.
Poor hand hygiene becomes a big problem in crowded places because people often cough and sneeze into their hands or touch their mouth or nose, providing an easy way of spreading the coronavirus to everything they touch.
Studies have shown that germs can spread from one infected person to the entire office in 2-4 hours through contaminated touchpoints. There is also a risk of contamination from bodily fluids and toilet sneezes. That’s why places like toilets, restrooms, and washrooms are more dangerous than the other areas of a premise.
With regular cleaning and proper disinfection, these touchpoints and areas can be made virus-free. In crowded places, frequent disinfection is required to provide the best protection against viruses.
Decontaminate Covid-19 with Disinfection Services
To protect your staff, visitors, and clients, regular cleaning and frequent disinfecting areas and all the high-touch stuff can play the role of life-saving measurement.
Normally, when a facility manager finds that someone from staff or visitor is infected from the covid-19, these few questions came into their mind
- How soon can I get my facility up and running?
- How to make premises virus-free and are the surfaces of my premises safe to touch and reuse?
- What hygiene procedures and virus control measures should I take immediately?
- How can I develop a robust strategy for implementing strong hygiene standards in my organization?
- What do I need to do to comply with the changing rules and how can I keep it from happening again?
Luckily, a facility manager doesn’t have to find answers to all the above questions. There are some reputed professional COVID cleaning companies who can take care of all the above with their state-of-the-art disinfection services.
Additionally, these disinfection service providers will already have all the required tools, products, safety gears and other small to large size equipment.
What Do These Disinfection Services Include?
A disinfection service provider will first inspect the complete site using their experienced experts. This will provide a site-specific:
- Safe operating procedures
- Method statement
- Risk assessment
Professional cleaning companies have specially trained disinfection technicians, who will at first wear the personal protective equipment (PPE) kit and then manually clean all the areas and surfaces, after which they will disinfect the site using specialist equipment, and approved high-level surface disinfectant products.
They will pay special attention to the key touchpoints and surfaces and by using disinfectant wipes/spray, they will make all these surfaces remain virus-free for a longer duration.
After following manual methods for disinfecting surfaces, they would use fogging machines to combat airborne pathogens and disinfect large areas.
In this ultra-low volume (ULV) disinfection fogging, a fogger machine is used to generate a cloud of tiny droplets of a disinfectant liquid, which significantly reduces the number of pathogens on both surfaces and in the air.
Proper and regular cleaning and disinfecting have become essential these days to make areas contaminated by Covid-19 safe and quickly resume operations without any risks.
An experienced cleaning company can help businesses to resume their operations with their effective disinfection services.
As stated above, professional disinfection services have the equipment, techniques, and products best suited for disinfecting any type of area. So, businesses can be assured about the safety of their staff, visitors and operations.
