Disinfection services are essential in providing healthier spaces and peace of mind as businesses reopen and facilities return to normal occupancy levels. The CDC provides guidelines geared at employers, owners, managers, and operations specialists to follow when creating reopening plans for their office buildings so that employees and clients stay safe. Disinfection services can be used for either general cleaning in an office building or critical environment cleaning in cleanrooms, pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, data centers, or robotic manufacturers.  

As lockdowns are lifted and reopening begins across the country, building owners, property managers, and employers face the same concerns: how to ensure their facilities are safe for their occupants and clients. Buildings have been closed for months, with only routine janitorial service and monitoring. Even after offices are aired and freshened, you and your team will need more than standard cleaning to keep everything safe and disinfected.

As we turn the corner in the COVID-19 pandemic, many workplaces are beginning the return to in-person work. While more and more people are getting vaccinated, not all will choose to or be able to do so. To return to work safely, you need to take steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace. In addition to masking and social distancing where possible, preventative decontamination is one of the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19.

This past year has been challenging for families and businesses in light of COVID-19, with many people losing their jobs or being forced to work from home. As businesses start to reopen and employees plan to return to the office, companies need to develop a plan to keep people healthy.

If you’re a cleanroom manager, or if you work in a critical environment (like a robotics lab, a research facility, or a pharmacy) then you may have already heard about disinfectant fogging. Fogging solutions are getting a lot of attention these days because they’re one of the best ways to maintain a pristine and sterile environment. In fact, fogging is an amazingly thorough way to sterilize and disinfect not just cleanrooms, but any high-risk environment.

Maintaining a clean environment is one of the most important things we can do when it comes to keeping ourselves safe from disease. If you are a cleanroom manager, or if you work in a densely populated environment (like an office building) or in a critical environment (like a pharmacy or a data center), then you already understand the crucial importance of cleaning protocols.  Today, the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic have made us all understand the limitations of our normal cleaning and disinfecting procedures. 

Cleanroom environments are unlike any other. They come with challenges and requirements specific to their construction, classification, and purpose. Not only do you and your cleaning crew need to have a thorough understanding of the regulations specific to the controlled environment, but so does everyone who enters the room. You need to establish a clear set of rules to limit the amount of particulate in the room, the disruption of particles, and general contamination.

Keeping cleanrooms contaminant-free is a fundamentally crucial goal. When contaminants enter a cleanroom, it can cost a significant amount of money to remediate the facility. In extreme cases, the cost of a fast-spreading fungal, viral or bacterial infection can be human lives.
