Tips for Safe Disinfectant Use Between Cleanings

No matter how frequently your office is professionally cleaned, there will come times when your staff has to do some cleaning. Whether there’s an accident, a spill, or things just get too dirty, it’s a good idea to have disinfectant products on hand. And it’s also important that you and your team know how to safely use those disinfectants.

We’re sharing a few tips from the EPA on how to use disinfectants safely and effectively. Do you need professional janitorial services to keep your office clean? Give ROC Cleaning a call!

  1. Make Sure the Product is EPA-Approved: The EPA’s List N includes all disinfectants that are approved to kill viruses, including COVID-19.
  2. Read All Directions: Check the product’s use sites and surface types to see where it can safely be used.
  3. Pre-Clean: If the surface is visibly dirty, wash it with soap and water before using the disinfectant product.
  4. Follow Contact Time Instructions: Disinfectants must usually be left on a surface for a set period of time in order to be fully effective. Make sure to read and follow time instructions accurately.
  5. Wear Gloves: Always protect your hands when using disinfectant products.
  6. Wash Your Hands: Even though you wore gloves, it’s important to wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning.
  7. Keep Products Locked Up: Make sure all disinfectant products are stored safely and securely, especially if children or vulnerable adults frequent the building.

How to Keep Your Office Organized

Whether you work in a cubicle, private office, shared co-working space, or something in between, it can be tough to keep your workspace organized. But there are many benefits of an orderly working environment. As we’ve previously discussed, a clean workspace leads to greater focus, creativity, productivity, and morale. (Our experienced and reliable commercial cleaning services can help!)

If the thought of maintaining an organized office seems daunting, we’re here to help! We have a few tips from Office Depot on how to set up an organization system that will keep your workspace tidy.

4 Steps to an Organized Workspaceorganized

  1. Purge: Get a recycling bin and paper shredder, and spend an hour getting rid of unnecessary papers and document on your desk.
  2. Deal with Documents: Create a place for incoming and outgoing documents. Try to deal with documents as soon as they arrive into your space. Either file, recycle, or address them right away, instead of letting them pile up.
  3. Update your Filing System: If you’re not sure where to documents as they come into your workspace, it might be time to update your filing system. Be thoughtful and choose a system that works well for your needs and preferred way of organizing things.
  4. Make Organization a Regular Task: Block out time on your calendar once a month (or more) to deal with clutter that will inevitably pile up.

How Regular Cleaning Boosts Office Morale and Productivity

As we put the pandemic in the rearview mirror, many Twin Cities companies are beginning to bring employees back to the office. Naturally, cleanliness, sanitation and safety are at top of mind for employers and office managers. But there are many other reasons to prioritize regular janitorial services for your office, clinic, or retail store. These include increased productivity, better focus, and happier employees.

The Benefits of Regular Office Cleaning

Productivity

When workers have to spend time cleaning – or managing an unreliable janitorial service – they have less time to spend on work. Hire a dependable commercial cleaning company so your employees can spend their time on their work, not on cleaning the office.

Focus and Creativity

A dirty or disorganized office space causes employees to be more distracted and less focused on work. Maintaining a clean and orderly work environment boosts concentration and leaves more space for clear, creative thinking.

Morale and Motivation

A clean workspace creates a calm and positive working environment, boosting employee satisfaction and morale. This, in turn, can make them more dedicated to their employer and more motivated to help meet company goals.

Health

After the last year, we can’t talk about the importance of office cleaning without mentioning health. Even in non-pandemic times, maintaining a clean office protects staff and visitors against colds, flu, viruses and other illnesses.
