Cleaning for Health and Wellness in the Workplace

January 5, 2018 Posted by Admin Cleaning Tips, Commercial Cleaning

Last year in Canada the average person took 8 sick days. What’s even more alarming – this number has been trending upward over the last few years.

Germs can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours. The most common way for communicable illness and infection to spread is when an individual touches a contaminated surface and then makes contact with their face. These contaminated surfaces can be all over your facility without you, your staff, or your visitors knowing. Surfaces that are potential germ “hotspots” should be cleaned regularly to reduce the risk of spread in the workplace, including:

  • Light switches
  • Hand rails
  • Phones
  • Counter Tops
  • Trash can lids
  • Elevator buttons
  • Bathroom fixtures
  • Water coolers
  • Doorknobs
  • Faucets

During peak cold and flu season, when illness becomes much more prevalent, a comprehensive cleaning program should be top priority. If your business is being impacted by the number of sick days taken by yourself, and or employees, now is time to stop the cycle and create a healthier workplace today.

Request a free consultation and estimate, and learn how Jani-King can help maintain a clean and healthy space for you today.
