Cleaning and Disinfecting for Cold and Flu Season

Don\’t let your facility turn into a breeding ground for the flu or colds this year. Follow this guide to cleaning common points of contact with disinfectant wipes to reduce the risk of infection in your space.

Hand Railings

As you clean your floors, wipe down hand railings throughout your facility. They are touched frequently throughout the day, so make cleaning them a regular part of your routine.

Door Knobs and Locks

Wipe down every door knob and lock in your facility, even the ones that are not used frequently. If you have an alarm system, make sure to wipe down the keypad as well.

Drawer Pulls and Handles

There are likely dozens of drawers around your facility. Wipe down each one with a disinfectant wipe to reduce germs.

Light Switches

These should be wiped down every day because they are likely germ hotbeds. If you\’ve neglected your light switches for too long, use a cleaning brush to remove debris stuck between grooves.

Faucet Handles and Toilet Flushers

Your restroom isn\’t really clean until you\’ve disinfected these common contact points. Same goes for the push buttons on hand driers and even your soap dispensers.

Keyboards and Mice

These are often neglected when it comes to cleaning, but they can be real harbingers of germs! Wipe them down at the end of every day to reduce flu and cold germs.
