Regular sanitization of your business can make a difference in the health of your employees and clients.

Pandemic or not, cleanliness and sanitation are important in the home and workplace. When the world was turned upside down (or so it seemed) because of COVID-19, we began to see new standards for health and safety. One obvious precaution that was taken (almost immediately) was cleaning and disinfecting an area that was exposed to a positive COVID-19 case. But what about the “normal” or “day-to-day” cleaning? How often should you be sanitizing your office?

The amount of cleaning that should be done usually depends on the amount of traffic and the kind of work that is being conducted in your workplace. Obviously, if there are a lot of people in and out of the building, touching surfaces, and sharing workspace, then some sort of daily cleaning and disinfecting should be conducted. Sometimes this may look like a cleaning crew coming in at the end of the day and taking care of everything. Or perhaps, they come in and clean, but sanitization takes place during the day and is the responsibility of those using the space (cleaning wipes and spray at each station). 

Maintaining a clean and safe workspace by cleaning and sanitizing regularly can easily be done and make a world of a difference. Begin by evaluating your space and the resources available, once you have done this you can come up with a plan then implement it into the office routine. By doing this, it will be easier to ensure a healthy work environment for employees and customers.
