Proper surface and equipment cleaning is fundamental to preventing the spread of illness. In a post-lockdown world, customers and employees alike are looking to regain confidence in public spaces. By offering hygienic maintenance solutions for high touch point surface areas, you are creating a safe solution for your facility and customers!
Today, about 40% of workers say they often worry about getting sick as a result of poor hygiene. In fact, employers seeking to attract the next generation should be aware that 50% of those aged 16 to 25 say they consider hygiene concerns a top priority.
When to use wipers?
Wipers should be a key component of your business essentials checklist. They’re a disposable maintenance tool that’s stronger than a paper towel, making them ideal for cleaning and disinfecting where cross-contamination is a concern. To properly disinfect, use a wiper in conjunction with an alcohol-based disinfectant that has an alcohol content of at least a 70%.
High-touch surface cleaning routines should include regularly cleaning and disinfecting:
- Tables and seating areas
- Doorknobs and handles
- Light switches
- Toilets
- Faucets
- Sinks
- Equipment panels
- Workstations / desks
- Chairs
- Computers
- Telephones
- Elevator buttons
When cleaning and disinfecting, use one side of a wiper per surface to avoid cross-contamination. Set the hygienic standard by adding wipers to your cleaning plan to keep your facility’s surfaces sanitized and protected.
