New Zealand companies have long since seen the advantages of commercial cleaning for workplaces as evidenced by industry growth of 4.9% between 2015 and 2020, and it is predicted that more growth is set to come in part thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In order to protect the health and safety of staff, employers are now turning to commercial cleaning professionals in a bid to keep their workplaces safe from the Covid-19 virus.
Professional cleaning companies have the products and the expertise required to meet the Ministry of Health guidelines.
The Ministry of Health website states:
“A key way to protect against the risk of exposure to COVID-19 is appropriate cleaning and disinfecting of environmental surfaces.”
Here are the MOH main guidance points on general cleaning and disinfection:
- Indoor and covered outdoor areas that are regularly accessed by the public must be cleaned with detergent and water at least daily to remove germs and dirt from surfaces
- For indoor areas, once cleaned, surfaces can be disinfected with hypochlorite (a bleach solution) and dried with a clean cloth after the manufacturer’s recommended dwell time
- Gather your equipment such as cleaning and disinfecting agents, cleaning cloths and mops, and protective equipment to wear (eg, gloves) before you start cleaning
- Use a fresh damp cloth to clean surfaces and a mop for hard surface floors
- Have separate cloths for general and bathroom areas. Cloths and mops can be laundered as usual with regular laundry soap and hot water (60°C to 90°C). Dispose of disinfectant wipes in a rubbish bin
- Always wear gloves appropriate for the products being used
- Follow the product instructions from the manufacturer about the need to wear additional personal protection items (such as a mask to protect you from inhaling chemical fumes)
- Perform hand hygiene after removal and disposal of protective equipment items you have worn during cleaning
- Cleaning of frequently used outdoor public spaces should focus on hard surfaces that are touched regularly, such as handrails. Rubbish bins should be emptied before they are full.
