Disinfecting FAQ
What is electrostatic disinfecting, and how does it work?
Electrostatic disinfecting is a cutting-edge cleaning method that uses an electrostatic sprayer to positively charge disinfectant particles. When sprayed, these positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged surfaces, creating an even and comprehensive coverage. This process ensures that disinfectant adheres to all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas, for more effective and thorough disinfection.
How effective is electrostatic disinfection in killing germs and viruses?
Electrostatic disinfection is highly effective in killing germs and viruses. The charged particles in the disinfectant adhere to surfaces, wrapping around and covering them evenly, which enhances the contact time and kills a broad spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses that spread during flu season, after illness at home, or in busy offices and daycares.
Is electrostatic disinfection safe for use in homes, offices, and public spaces?
Yes, electrostatic disinfection is safe when conducted by trained professionals using approved disinfectants. The method ensures thorough coverage while using less disinfectant, reducing chemical exposure. It's widely used in homes, offices, healthcare facilities, schools, and public spaces as a safe and efficient disinfection technique.
How often should I schedule electrostatic disinfection services?
The frequency of electrostatic disinfection services depends on factors like the level of foot traffic, the nature of the space, and local health guidelines. High-traffic areas or places with regular interactions, such as schools and healthcare facilities, may benefit from more frequent treatments, while lower-traffic areas may require less frequent disinfection. It's essential to consult with a professional service provider to determine the appropriate schedule for your specific needs.
Commercial Office Cleaning & Janitorial Services FAQ
What should be included in a cleaning roster?
A solid office cleaning roster covers daily trash and restrooms, high-touch wipe-downs, kitchen/break-room surfaces, and vacuuming or mopping of open areas. Weekly work usually adds dusting, glass, and detail in conference rooms. Match frequency to foot traffic and assign owners for supplies and after-hours access.
How do I set up a business cleaning schedule?
Start by listing rooms, traffic patterns, and any after-hours constraints. Set daily, weekly, and monthly tasks, then pick a cadence (for example nightly restrooms, weekly floors, monthly detail). Share the schedule with your cleaner, review it after the first month, and adjust for busy seasons or construction dust.
How often should I schedule my office to be cleaned?
The frequency of office cleaning services depends on factors like the size of your office, the number of employees, the nature of your business, and your budget. Common cleaning schedules include:
