1Disinfection vs Cleaning
Cleaning removes visible dirt, while disinfection destroys microorganisms. The ideal approach is cleaning first, then disinfection. Disinfectants may be ineffective on unclean surfaces.
2Choosing the Right Product
EPA-approved disinfectants are effective against COVID-19. Use 70% alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or diluted chlorine solutions. Always follow the contact time on product labels, typically 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
3High-Touch Surfaces
Door handles, light switches, phones, keyboards, faucets, and toilet handles should be disinfected several times daily. These surfaces pose the highest risk of virus transmission. Don't neglect elevator buttons, stair railings, and shared table surfaces.
4Importance of Ventilation
Air circulation in enclosed spaces reduces virus spread. Provide natural ventilation by opening windows, use HEPA-filtered air purifiers. Monitor air quality with CO2 meters.
5Professional Disinfection
Professional disinfection is essential for workplaces, schools, and high-traffic areas. ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogging and electrostatic spraying are the most effective methods. Request documentation after disinfection.
