Assessing the cleaning needs of an office

In order to carry out a clean to a Pristine standard and ensure the risk of spreading infection throughout the office has been minimised it is first necessary to assess the needs of the office.

When and how often

This may include determining whether everyone working in the office works during the same shift ie 9-5 pm. If the people working in the office work during different shift patterns this will alter the frequency of the cleaning being carried out and the time of the day the cleaning is being carried out for example the cleaning may need to be carried out between shifts and therefore more often IE one clean carried out at 9 am and one clean being carried out at 6 pm. This will also result in a more thorough clean being carried out as more than one person is using the desk and therefore the mouse, keyboard and phone. If everyone in the office is working the same shift, the cleaning can be carried out at the same time of the day and this may result in the same per son using the same desk every day therefore needing less cleaning than if multiple people are using.

Sanitising Vs Disinfecting

Using the right cleaning methods for your home/office is critical in helping prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses such as Corona virus. In order to identify which cleaning method is needed we first need to consider the surface being cleaned and what germs we are trying to remove or kill. Sanitise and disinfect are terms that are used interchangeably but actually have an important difference.
