Covid-19 has improved our awareness of the cleanliness of the surrounding environment and shared spaces. I use hand sanitizer, wash my hands often, wear a mask, and avoid touching my face. I use hand sanitizer, wash my hands often, wear a mask, and avoid touching my face. If the area looks unclean or “invisible,” we don’t think we will come back! Therefore, business owners and facility managers need to keep up with our new reality to keep the area clean. To stay open, customers and employees need to observe the clean space. Sanitation and disinfection play an essential role in keeping the business open and safe. And the public area is challenging! Here are three tips for managing common areas in Covid-19.
Tip 1: Determine foot traffic patterns
Each company operates differently and uses buildings for various purposes. Therefore, given the current pandemic, it can be important to keep track of peak and slow times. For example, based on foot traffic observations, contact point disinfectants need to be rotated every hour in some facility areas, while weekly cleaning is sufficient in other areas of the facility.
Tip 2: Determine high touch surfaces
Now that you have determined who enters and exits the building, it is time to determine the areas you frequently touch. Common places that are frequently visited are more likely to have greater potential for reproductive activities. An excellent way to analyze the unique high-touch areas of a building is to walk “like a customer.” When doing this, please note the list of these high touchpoints to ensure they have been cleaned and disinfected properly.
In addition to these considerations, managing common areas during COVID-19 will most certainly include sanitizing the following:
- Drinking Fountains
- Doorknobs
- Elevator Buttons
- Door & Cabinet Handles; Push Bars
- Conference Room Touchpoints
- Light Switches
- Keyboards and Mice
- Drawers
- Refrigerator and Microwave Doors
- All Bathroom Touch Surfaces
- Chair Handles
- All Kitchenette and Dining Area Touch Surfaces
Once you have your list collected, determine the suitable cleaning agent for each area.
Disinfecting weekly, daily, and of course, once an hour is a daunting task and can exceed your company’s productivity and critical goals. Entrusting your cleaning to a reputable and experienced commercial cleaning company gives you peace of mind when you focus on your business. When buying a professional cleaning services provider, make sure that:
- Experience in the cleaning process and training to comply with CDC guidelines using EPA registered cleaners.
- Equipped with standard operating procedures for an emergency response to infectious activities
- A formal communication channel can be secured and is highly responsive.
