It is more important than ever to include commercial disinfection in your safety plan. With the ability to open up non-essential businesses in an increasing number of regions, you are probably planning to open your doors after a long hiatus. Before you do, you will be disinfecting your space. However, before starting your commercial disinfection, you should keep the following four tips in mind.
Wear Proper Gear
To protect yourself, as well as prevent contamination of the space you are disinfecting, you should pay attention to what gear you are wearing. Professional cleaning services will always wear protective equipment, and you should as well. Wearing proper gear will differ depending on where the space you are disinfecting is located. However, in general, this will include:
- Gloves
- Masks
- Shoe Covers
You may also consider wearing goggles, although this is usually not necessary. For commercial disinfection, additional protective equipment like a full-body suit will usually be unnecessary.
Clean Before Disinfecting
Once you are ready to start cleaning, you should take the usual steps to remove dirt, dust, and debris of all kinds. A simple cloth will do, but keep in mind the material it is made out of. For example, a microfiber cloth with water will work for most of the cleaning tasks you will be tackling. It will provide a much more effective clean than using a cloth made out of cotton. If you come across more stubborn debris, you will have to use some soap along with the microfiber and cloth.
Apply the Right Disinfectant
When selecting a disinfectant to use for commercial disinfection, select the least harsh one possible. You will also want to match the disinfectant you are using to the surface you are cleaning. This will guarantee that you will avoid damaging the surfaces you are cleaning. You will want to definitely avoid using bleach for commercial disinfection since it will be overkill and it may severely damage the surfaces you use it on.
Allow Proper Contact Time
Avoid making the mistake of simply spraying the disinfectant you are using and them quickly wiping it dry. This is a common issue when people are disinfecting a space. It will usually need a little bit of time to work its magic before you can go and wipe it up. Make sure that you first read the label of your disinfectant to learn what the proper contact time is for it.
