Commercial Disinfecting Services

Knowing the difference between cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing are important when deciding what commercial disinfecting service is needed for your establishment. Cleaning removes germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces and objects.

The continued spread of the flu further demonstrates the need for workspaces to be clean and healthy. Luckily, our commercial disinfecting services plus the act of cleaning and then disinfecting a surface dramatically reduces the chances of infection spreading.

There are specific cleaning tools and methods and a right and wrong way to tackle disinfection that could make or break the health of employees.

City Wide Jani uses the following five tips when disinfecting:

  1. Use a one-way wipe down
    Wipe down a surface in one direction and don’t go back over it in the opposite direction because it will deposit germs that were just cleaned up. Routinely wipe down all frequently touched surfaces such as workstations, countertops and doorknobs.
  1. Practice color-coded cleaning
    Color code cloths for specific spaces so janitorial and custodial staff doesn’t cross-contaminate — don’t confuse kitchen cloths with the bathroom
  1. Know what chemicals can do
    On the bottle, common household disinfectants tout their ability to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, including human coronavirus, flu strains, E.coli and salmonella, among others.
  1. Heavily promote handwashing 

    Post handwashing and drying signs throughout the office – from the kitchen to the bathroom – to remind employees to clean their with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 to 95 percent alcohol or with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Dry hands thoroughly because germs spread with moisture.

    We also recommend having disinfectant wipes handy for your employees to use on their keyboards, phone receivers and touch screen devices.
