The main reason why every business should have professional cleaning and disinfection processes in place is to keep its premises safe for workers, clients, and other visitors. From office buildings to food processing plants to healthcare facilities, all businesses in today’s day and age should take proper care to make sure that their facilities are cleaned and disinfected regularly.
While many companies nowadays prefer automation because of the way in which it streamlines the process, manual cleaning and disinfection will remain the number one choice for firms that place a premium on safety and cleanliness.
The Advantages Of Manual Cleaning And Disinfection
Below are a few of the many benefits that manual cleaning and disinfection hold over their competitors.
Attention To Detail And Not Overlooking Any Areas
Because there are often huge spaces to be cleaned in many commercial properties, cleaning companies often resort to using methods that allow them to cover the biggest possible area in the shortest possible time.
In the long run, however, they will most likely find that they are exposing their workers and visitors to unnecessary risks and that they often have to spend additional money on cleaning up after the cleaning company. Manual cleaning and disinfection allow for levels of attention to detail and care that are often lacking in other methods.
First Getting Rid Of Dust And Dirt Is Vital If You Want To Professionally Disinfect A Surface
There is a good reason why washing your hands work better than using a hand sanitizer - and that reason is friction. The same is true for surfaces. Using a contactless process to clean a surface often does not get rid of soil and other dirt that could be harboring hazardous pathogens. The friction created by manual cleaning does get rid of these, which then allows disinfectants to do their job properly.
Proper Disinfection Of Instruments, Tools, And Machinery
Machinery, tools, and instruments often have unusual designs that make it difficult to disinfect them. The only option that ensures proper care for surfaces that have sections that are difficult to reach or contain unusual nooks and crannies is to manually apply disinfectant.
Why Manual Disinfection Is Often Better Than Other Types Of Cleaning
If one compares it to other types of cleaning, manual disinfection is many instances the clear winner because it enables cleaning teams to give more attention to problem areas. To help us understand why the manual option is so often the better one, let us take a closer look at a few other disinfection alternatives and how they compare.
Foam Disinfection
This method is often used in cases where a broad coverage of large surfaces is necessary. Because the disinfectant foam expands when it touches the surface, it makes it easy to see which areas have been covered. Although it might have benefits in settings where machinery is involved, it simply can not offer the same degree of control as manual disinfection in most other types of industries.
Spray Disinfectants
These are often popular among commercial businesses that would like to cover a relatively large area within a particular facility. Although this is a quick and easy way to get the job done, you are also going to use more disinfectants to properly service a specific area. Apart from that, spraying disinfectants over areas covered in soil or other dirt will not remove potentially harmful bacteria from these surfaces.
Steam disinfection
While this method could work well to get rid of pathogens from high-risk surfaces because of the heat that is applied, the same heat could also cause problems. It can, for example, damage sensitive equipment or surfaces and might even cause injuries. This is why steam disinfection can not be recommended for areas where members of the public are allowed such as medical facilities. In these cases, manual cleaning and disinfection are still the better options.
