Are Disinfecting and Cleaning Services Similar?
It’s more critical than ever for businesses to understand the difference between cleaning and disinfecting. [Hyperlink the highlighted to blog 1: What’s the Difference Between Cleaning, Disinfecting, And Sanitizing?]
Cleaning services are focused on removing dirt, debris, dust, and other contaminants on surfaces using mild cleaning solutions or water and soap. While cleaning may reduce the germ count on a given service and lowers the risk of germs transmission, it doesn’t ensure removing all viruses and bacteria.
On the other hand, a disinfecting service kills all the germs, bacteria, and viruses using EPA-approved disinfectants. It’s ideal for high-touch surfaces like office desks, shared furniture, shared computer hardware like keyboard and mouse, shared telephones, light switches, door handles, doorknobs, etc.
However, cleaning and disinfecting services must work hand in hand to maintain a healthy, hygienic, and germ-free workplace.
