In our last blog post, we talked about the importance of hand hygiene during flu and cold season. This time, we are going to highlight the other half of flu prevention: using the right janitorial supplies in Brockton MA.

Clean Often

The best way to prevent flu germs from thriving in your facility is to clean often. That means daily sanitizing objects and surfaces that are frequently touched, including doorknobs, faucet handles, phones, keyboards, countertops and desks.

It is important to remember that sanitizing lowers the amount of germs on an object to a safe level, but disinfecting kills germs completely to lower the risk of spreading infection. For most facilities, sanitizing is enough to stay safe, but some may require frequent disinfecting.

The flu virus can only survive and infect someone for about two to eight hours on a surface, so once-daily sanitizing should be sufficient.

Use Janitorial Supplies in Brockton MA Properly

Always check labels and follow directions on disinfectants, sanitizers and other supplies. The product you use should be EPA-approved for effectiveness against the flu virus. If you are using disinfecting wipes for computers or phones, remember that using more than one wipe may be necessary to reach the recommended contact time.

Following these tips and using the right janitorial supplies in Brockton MA can help your employees and visitors stay safer this season. To learn more about our flu-battling products, contact the team at Banner Systems today!
