How ServiceMaster by Wright Fights Coronavirus

With COVID-19 starting to show signs of coming back, disinfecting and proper cleaning is more important now than perhaps it has ever been. It’s extremely unlikely that we’re likely to see another lockdown like the one we have already emerged from, so that means it’s important to take extra precautionary steps to protect both your family, your customers, and your employees. Regular disinfecting can do just that, particularly when implemented as a part of your normal cleaning routine, be it daily or weekly.

Cleaning and decontamination play a critical role in protecting human health by preventing transmission of an ever-growing array of harmful, and in some cases, deadly infectious diseases and the deadly Coronavirus. In the battle against infectious diseases, such as Coronavirus, cleaning and decontamination are a frontline defense. 

In this article, ServiceMaster by Wright can help keep building occupants healthy during outbreaks and year-round, while also educating management, customers, and the public about the power and value of cleaning.

Missed Spots

The truth is that a professional cleaning company is going to provide you with a much better quality of cleaning service than the average business can do itself. Why? Let’s look at this.

• Simply wiping down the surface doesn’t disinfect the surface. It just removes the dirt but doesn’t really thoroughly disinfect and remove the possible germs and viruses lurking. 
• When something isn’t cleaned properly, it’s easier for germs and viruses to spread, and when germs spread, everyone in your company, customers and employees alike, could be at risk.

Professional Equipment

Professional cleaning technicians are often equipped with the industrial machines and materials needed to conduct a thorough deep clean. The average business owner likely isn’t going to have these professional materials or equipment simply because the investment isn’t really warranted. Some of these machines are expensive, and it’s far better to simply partner up with a vendor who can conduct regular cleaning rather than continue to pay for an expensive machine. You get to reap the benefits of high-quality cleaning from commercial-grade equipment without having to bear the brunt of the cost of buying all of the machines and materials to do so.

Reduce Cost in the Long Run

One of the biggest myths about professional disinfecting and sanitizing services is that it is expensive and will drain a ton of money from your business over time. However, believe it or not, having a cleaning professional handle all or even part of your disinfecting and sanitizing needs can actually save you money in the long run. 

• You’ll spend less money on cleaning chemicals, less money on having to continue to pay employees extra hourly wages to take care of added cleaning needs, and more. 
• It also cuts down on employees missing days due to having to battle illnesses, and any business manager or bookkeeper knows just how much money that could save. 
• Having regular professional cleaning done for your business could actually save you money while also keeping your guests and employees safer.

Home Disinfecting: How to Keep Your Bathrooms Clean

Since you rely on your bathroom to keep your body clean, it's fair to say that it should be the cleanest room in your house, don’t you agree? Being exposed to water and moisture can be a nest for mold growth. With the recent pandemic as well, we have to take extra time to disinfect and sanitize our bathrooms.

A professional sanitizing service can help you thoroughly clean your bathroom. However, you may also need to look into cleaning your bathroom yourself, so we’ve prepared a couple of tips on how to do it. Let’s take a look at how to disinfect and sanitize your bathroom.

Disinfect Toilets

Your toilet and toilet seat may contain many germs as this is the place where we drop all our body waste. So if there’s a place that needs to always be clean, this is it. You have to keep your family safe. 

Disinfecting, should only take several minutes. You will need a toilet bowl cleaning liquid and a toilet brush. First, you need to apply the product and let it sit for several minutes. Letting it do its job. Then, you scrub the inside of the toilet bowl using the toilet brush.

When it comes to cleaning the toilet seat and the lid, be careful choosing the product since some can make the plastic parts go yellow.

Disinfect Sinks

Not only is your bathroom sink one of the first places to show gunk and grime. It can also have hair strands and grime buildup if not cleaned regularly. This can harbor tons of germs if left uncared for.

So, how do you disinfect your sink?  Prepare a cleaning solution beforehand. Using a cloth or sponge, dip in the cleaning solution and scrub your sink including the faucet. This will kill possible bacteria on the surfaces. After a couple of minutes, rinse the solution thoroughly with water. Wipe dry.

Disinfect Tub

There's no room for mildew and mold — especially in the places you rely on for clean hygiene. Your tub can be a place where mold can thrive since it’s always wet and moist.

How do you disinfect your tub?  Spray your tub with an all-purpose bathroom cleaning solution. Choose one that’s safe for you and your family. If there is tough grime and stains, you can use a stronger solution, as long as you wear a protective mask to avoid inhaling dangerous vapors.

Disinfect Bathroom Floor

Disinfecting your bathroom floor is extremely important if you have children or family members with a suppressed immune system in your household. 

Using your mop, submerge it into the bucket of cleaning solution, squeeze out excess water, then clean the bathroom floor. Once dry, replace the trashcan and your freshly laundered rugs as well. 

Other Safety Tips

Keep your eyes and face protected at all times since many cleaning products can burn your skin and cause serious damage to your eyesight.

The COVID-19 pandemic should affect how we think and behave, that’s why we have to prepare for our family’s safety during these times. ServiceMaster by Wright has the experience, knowledge, training, and national network to meet your needs on an ongoing basis. Disinfection goes beyond a standard cleaning service and requires specific protocols.
