Science-backed health-based cleaning and sanitization measures mitigate the spread of contagions by breaking the chain of infection, resulting in increased facility health and safety and occupant wellness and performance.
Surface Cleaning and sanitization Disrupts the Contact Transmission of Infectious Disease
Infectious disease agents spread in one of four ways:
Airborne via inhalation.
Environmental cleaning and sanitization procedures are critical to facility safety and are increasingly in demand by retail shoppers, especially during the holiday season.
The Importance of Retail Cleanliness for the Holiday Shopping Season
The crucial holiday shopping season is here.
Like last year, this year's influenza season appears to be mild, but the battle is far from won, and diligence must be maintained to minimize the flu's impact on vulnerable demographics this winter.
Preparing Your Facility for Influenza
Reported incidences of influenza this year have been, blessedly, minimal.
Outsourcing your commercial facility's infection prevention and control requirements will increase profits and decrease complaints as long as specific standards are established and maintained.
The Importance of Service Provider Training in Cleaning Outcomes
The most successful cleaning departments and service providers invest heavily in ongoing product and safety training.
Employing enhanced energy-efficient cleaning methods will reduce overall facility maintenance costs while decreasing the building's operational consumption of natural resources--gas, electricity, and water.
Cleaning Up Commercial Building Energy Consumption
US industrial and commercial facilities combined account for approximately 50% of all energy consumed each year.
Pneumonia is the world's leading cause of death by an infectious disease, resulting in millions of fatalities, many of them children, each year.
Combatting Pneumonia, the World's Leading Infectious Disease
Presently, pneumonia (and influenza) is listed as number 9 on the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States, claiming the lives of approximately 49K people per year.
The flooring, matting, and carpets in commercial facilities are subject to an increase in mud and soil during the winter months, which erode the look and performance of the surfaces or fibers, which can contribute to increased health and safety risks.
The Importance of Winter Facility Floor Maintenance
Increased indoor foot traffic combined with the water and mud created during inclement weather can result in premature wear and tear on the flooring in commercial facilities.
National labor shortages in the cleaning, landscape, and maintenance sectors are predicted to extend well into the new year, partly exacerbated by fears of a COVID-19 resurgence this winter, resulting in lower quality outcomes and potential health and safety issues.
Profit and performance-enhancing productivity boosts are possible through enhanced cleaning processes designed to improve both efficiency and outcomes.
Improving Custodial Efficiency Through Improved Processes and Technologies
In a post-pandemic world where consumers are increasingly focusing on facility cleanliness and hygiene methods and practices, new attention must be paid to janitorial labor, equipment, and cleaning product budgets to ensure desirable outcomes.
Nightlife hospitality venues must pay attention to the health and hygiene of their facilities like never before to address increasing occupant scrutiny of cleaning and sanitization practices.
Recent Research Reveals Nightlife Venues Must Focus on Hygiene Practices
In the present post-pandemic landscape, public health and facility hygiene have increasingly come under the scrutiny of the average consumer.
