During this outbreak of the COVID-19 virus the use of proper touch point disinfection routines has been critically important. It will become even more critical as “shelter-in-place” mandates are relaxed and people begin to return to their normal working environments. Keeping those environments properly disinfected will be an essential element in protecting the health of those returning employees. Many operations will likely engage with a professional touch point disinfecting service to ensure that all best practices are utilized.
There are several compelling advantages to hiring a professional service provider to provide touch point disinfection for your facility. We will discuss just a few of those benefits.
Experience
A professional touch point disinfecting service will bring much-needed experience into your facility. That experience is crucial, especially during times of pandemic. A seasoned, reputable, service provider will have experience in applying touch point disinfection techniques within a wide range of situations and facility types (offices, schools, factories, public venues, etc.). Proven experience always matters. That is especially true when it comes to effective disinfection.
Expertise
Your in-house cleaning operation may not be abreast of recent developments in touch point disinfection. Like any technology, chemical disinfection continues to evolve. Techniques, tools, and chemicals continue to advance. A professional touch point disinfecting service will be able to deploy state-of-the-art touch point disinfection to your facility. A breadth and depth of expertise that would include:
- Use of the most effective—EPA-approved—disinfectants. You do not have to research which disinfectants to use. The service provider will bring that expertise with them.
- Use of the best tools and methodologies for your specific circumstances. This may include use of electrostatic spray disinfection, use of specific types of microfiber cleaning products, as well as other proven best-practices.
- Experience in dealing with exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace. Knowing how to properly disinfect to help stop the spread of the virus.
Safety
The importance of safety cannot be overstated. Many internal cleaning operations are simply not equipped to follow the strict safety protocols that are so critical when performing touch point disinfection during times of pandemic. A professional touch point disinfecting service will fully employ all necessary safeguards to protect themselves and your employees. This will include proper handling of chemicals, proper disposal of cleaning materials, and proper use of PPE.
Peace of Mind
And last, but not least, is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have hired a professional. It eliminates guesswork and uncertainty and will allow you to focus on other critical issues related to getting your business back up and running. You will have confidence that you have taken appropriate measures to protect your employees.
Hiring a professional touch point disinfecting service will help keep your facility free of pathogens and virus as we continue to battle COVID-19. It will also give your employees a much-needed sense of security as they return to work.
