Isn’t This Pretty? It’s The Flu Virus!

Why You Need To Hire A Professional Commercial Office Cleaning Company

Employees are the best asset of every organization. If we put an effort into employee wellness, we can encourage better teamwork, increased productivity and reduce sick leave. It’s that time of year again……cold and Flu season. What are you doing to keep your employees free from illness, germs and calling in sick?

Here are some of the most common places the flu is spread:

Restrooms: Toilets have 3,000 bacteria per square inch
Telephones: Phones carry 10 times more germs than a toilet seat
Light switches: High counts of fecal bacteria have been found on switches
Faucets and door handles: More than half of the handles tested, including sinks, doors, and microwaves have high germ counts.

Our best defense against the flu is a clean and disinfected environment.

Preventing The Flu Starts With Hiring A Commercial Cleaning Team

We all appreciate a facility that looks clean and well maintained. But as important as it is, it’s also important to clean what you cannot see. Germs, bacteria, and viruses are invisible. You could have a facility that looks perfectly clean but is riddled with disease-causing bacteria. The various strains of influenza and the germs that cause the common cold are all invisible to the naked eye. Here are some janitorial cleaning hints:

HEPA filter vacuum cleaners offer improved quality air
Disinfecting and cleaning hot spots and touchpoints will significantly reduce the transmission of the flu and common colds
Color-coded clothes protect health by diminishing both the load and spread of disease from one surface to another

In addition to a clean work environment, don’t forget to take preventative action to stop the spread of a cold and/or flu. Wash your hands, consider getting a flu vaccine and stay home from work when you are sick.

Cleaning Up the School Bathroom

By Erin Meyer • February 10, 2023

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
