Understanding COVID-19
Apply The Same Logic You Do With Cleaning Your Hands To Cleaning Your Facility
It’s easy to remove COVID-19 using manual cleaning such as using soap and rubbing your hands together.
If we translate the scientific evidence of hand washing to cleaning, we also need to be manually cleaning our facility Touchpoints with abrasive effort, using the right wipe, the right surfactant or disinfectant, with the right cleaning process for the right amount of time.
Clean Your High Risk Area TouchPoints At The Right Frequency
Covid Cleaning Systems need to be programmed with priority given to the high risk touchpoint areas of your facility.
One of the first things you need to do when taking cross-contamination seriously is to presume your patients, staff and visitors are currently at risk with COVID-19, which is able to survive on surfaces for up to 3 days. It's essential to develop a way to clean and disinfect surfaces thoroughly, even with limited staff.
Using disposable ready-to-use wipes that can be used by all staff, you can keep your facility clean even when cleaning staff are hard to find. Make sure you have the right wipes on hand and your staff know how to use them.
