COVID-19 has hit the US like a storm we haven’t seen before. Many of us are concerned with cleanliness now more than ever. we have been told “don’t shake hands”….”don’t touch your face”… “Frequently Wash/sanitize your hands”… the list goes on.
If we really want to stop the spread or #flattenthecurve we must take more action than simply taking care of our hands and face. Our floors where we walk everyday, track dirt, grime, bacteria…should not be forgotten. There are many ways we can maintain our floors daily to help keep a clean environment. One of the most effective is to properly use disinfectants diluted at the ratio specified by the EPA to clean these surfaces which we literally walk on every day.
Effective ways to clean:
In a perfect world we would all own an auto-scrubber or carpet extractor. These machines make maintaining floors a piece of cake, and simply put, here is the best way to help stop the spread:
-1st Pass- put down disinfectant and scrub the area with the squeegee in the up position
-WAIT for the required dwell time (check your SDS sheet for the proper claims on the product you are using)
-2nd pass- Simply scrub and recover as normal
The same rules apply if you do not have an auto-scrubber or Carpet machine, simply using a mop and bucket applying the same rules as above will yield the same results.
Maintaining floors does not have to be a hard job, and your colleagues, customers, family, friends, or whoever will greatly appreciate the “steps” you are taking to help the cause!
