A combination of both cleaning and disinfection are important steps in removing pathogens and reducing pathogen transfer across the workplace. Precise cleaning reduces the visible and non-visible soil load on surfaces, which allows the disinfectant to work and easily kill any lingering germs and bacteria.
Cleaning and disinfecting are terms often used interchangeably with each step actually describing a different process. The efficacy of the disinfectant can be impacted by heavy soiling on the surface which disrupts a product from working effectively. This is why both aspects (cleaning and disinfecting) are equally important in securing a clean and safe workplace. It’s best to find products that cover both of these things, allowing each step to be completed to create a clean and hygienic environment for everyone.
You should make sure to frequently clean and disinfect “high-touch” areas and general hard surfaces in the workplace such as the following:
• Doorknobs / Handles
• Light switches / Lift buttons
• Handrails
• Tablets / Smartphones / Touch screens
• Computers / Keyboards
• Hard-backed chairs
• Remote controls
• Desks / Tables / Workstation
• Toilets / Sinks / Basins
• Door handles / Door trims
