This office sanitation checklist is a key tool in the fight against viruses and illnesses, allowing businesses to divide the tasks and ensure that the facility is clean and safe.
Office Disinfection Tips
- ALWAYS make sure all cleaning personnel are equipped with protective equipment to ensure that they are safe while disinfecting the facility.
- Cleaning personnel should wear protective equipment when disposing of trash.
- Even when wearing gloves, cleaning personnel should always wash hands immediately after removing them.
- If visitors or customers are expected, schedule an after-hours cleaning with a cleaning company or in-house personnel to ensure the facility is sanitized for the next day’s business hours.
- To keep customers and employees safe, regularly wipe down commonly used surfaces throughout the day.
- Check cleaning products to ensure they contain disinfection ingredients that remove pathogens.
- Launder linens and other items in the warmest water possible.
