What to Remember While Sanitizing a Shared Work Desk

 Not all companies have their employees sitting in individual cubicles. Some allow multiple workers to be at a longer table at once if it’s safe, or use the space in a rotating way (different times) for various employees. These types of desks are also popular in coworking spaces, bringing people from different companies together.

Having a bigger desk can be a positive in many ways. For example, it could help with the collaborative nature of a business to discuss new ideas. It can also provide a larger workspace so staff can spread out their electronics and notes for easier access. But while the shared desk is bigger, the amount of cleaning required goes with it, and that’s where cleaning services in Hamilton can save you time and effort.

However, while you should rely on regular visits from office cleaning in Hamilton to clean all common areas of your business space, there are certain steps you should follow if you’re doing some of the maintenance yourself (that goes beyond a quick sanitizing wipe across the surface.)

How Arelli Can Help Maintain Compliance with the Latest Guidance for Reopening Schools

While many schools across Ontario are currently open to welcome students in person, there are new guidelines in place to help maintain safety that can be made easier to achieve through visits from janitorial cleaning services in Barrie.

The U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently released its advice about how school leaders can safely open schools for kindergarteners up to Grade 12 students. Among its recommendations are students should wear masks (and wear them correctly), while continuing to maintain physical distancing. Proper hand washing and coughing/sneezing etiquette should also be reinforced (meaning coughing into a tissue or using the inside of your elbow.)

Making Use of Hand Sanitizers Effectively to Maintain Safety During the Pandemic

Now that many people are returning to the office, there are a number of precautions that employees can take to lower their risk of catching or spreading COVID-19. 

While social distancing and wearing proper PPE’s might be two approaches, proper commercial cleaning services and using hand sanitizers are other trusted ways to help keep the virus at bay. 

However, when it comes to sanitizers, there’s a right and wrong way to use it. Whether it’s your own supply at your workstation or from a public dispenser, ensure you are using one that is alcohol-based that contains at least 60% or higher alcohol. Put enough sanitizer on your hands to cover all surfaces of both sides of your hands and rub together to create friction like you would washing your hands with soap and water until they feel dry (this should take around 20 seconds). Ensure the sanitizers are not part of the ones being recalled.

Make Sure It’s Approved

When choosing a hand sanitizer, make sure the product has been approved by Health Canada. This does not mean they’re specifically aimed at coronavirus; however, these products have been shown to reduce the spread of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases.

Dos and Don’ts of Disinfecting and Sanitizing – CCOHS Guidelines

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety is the primary national agency in Canada dealing with safe and healthy workplaces. Their mandate is the prevention of work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths in all industries.

Industrial cleaning services like Arelli Cleaning look to the CCOHS to ensure their methods meet the standard of care needed for proper commercial cleaning and disinfection services. While some of these Dos and Don’ts seem like common knowledge, it’s important to keep them all top of mind when performing your own disinfecting and sanitizing.

(Note: these tips cover commercial disinfection services in workplaces other than healthcare facilities. Health care professionals should act based on their in-house infection control procedures)

As a general rule, workplaces should be free from garbage, debris, and infectious materials. While this feels like a no-brainer, any garbage that seems to be piling up should be dealt with immediately.

Unfollow These Janitorial Cleaning Myths For A Better Environment

What are the first things that come to your mind when you think about commercial janitorial services? You might be surprised to learn that some of the assumptions you’ve made about cleaning need to be swept away.

That’s why it’s a good idea to use commercial cleaning services that take the guesswork out of cleaning effectively. But in the meantime, let’s scrub down to the truth about janitorial cleaning services and why your business can benefit from them. Here are some common myths about the industry…

Cleaning and Disinfecting Are The Same

While a company may use one type of cleaner for both cleaning and disinfecting, you should know this is not a one-step process. First, all of the surface dirt and debris needs to be removed with the cleaning product, and then another layer can be added and left in place for a while to kill all of the germs that can lead to illness.

Cleaning Requires Harsh Chemicals

Not true! In fact, the rise of green cleaning that’s offered by some commercial cleaning services means that more environmentally-friendly cleaners are being used to achieve the same results as traditional ones.

Your staff likely won’t complain as much about green cleaning as the harsh scent left behind by some bleaches. Many of these “green” products are certified to be safe, and you can see that on the label.

It Takes A Lot of Cleaning Product to be Effective

In some cases, maybe. But generally, a company that has experience delivering commercial janitorial services knows that it’s about using the right amount of cleaner – not as much as possible – to be effective.
