The Coronavirus COVID-19 is here to stay and it is imperative that you follow strict hygienic practices to maintain safe work environments in the workplace, office or schools etc. If safe practices are not maintained you may be forced to shut down and for additional deep cleans and therefore experience loss in business. Here are our simple 5 step instructions on how to keep your office or workplace hygienically clean to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
-
STEP 1: DEEP CLEAN
Dirty, dusty or contaminated surfaces will either encapsulate viruses and pathogens or render the active agents in disinfectants ineffective.
A Deep Clean is the first step in infection control and prepares surfaces for disinfection.
-
STEP 2 DISINFECT
After surfaces have been properly cleaned, touch-points are disinfected using Hospital Grade Disinfectant.
Sufficient time is allowed for disinfectants to disinfect.
Surfaces are rinsed to prevent damage to surfaces.
-
STEP 3 APPLY ANTIMICROBIAL TREATMENT
As an added layer of protection, 90-day antimicrobial treatment is applied by hand on surfaces areas.
We use environmentally friendly, non-toxic reactive silanes with antimicrobial agents demonstrated to resist microbial growth and
bio-film formation
This nanotechnology takes advantage of the weakness of the cell wall by rupturing it with physical/electrical force.
-
STEP 4 TEST AND REPORT
It’s important to verify that surfaces are been properly cleaned and disinfected.
Surfaces are independently ATP tested using the same method to verify cleaning standards in food production and hospital environments.
A report is collated with the ATP test results, a schedule of items and areas disinfected as well as procedures used to clean and disinfect.

STEP 5 MAINTAIN A REGULAR HYGIENE SCHEDULE
Some viruses can last up to 3 months on surfaces. The COVID-19 virus has been shown to last up to 4 days on hard surfaces.
A regular cleaning schedule with a focus on touch-points is vital in maintaining a hygienic environment. Layers of dirt can also hide the antimicrobial application and render it ineffective.
Touch-points need to be disinfected after every clean, and antimicrobial treatment should be applied every 3 months. Each clean receives a live real-time report confirming tasks performed.
