Cleaning and Sanitizing

Performance is new to the blogging scene, but with our vast amount of cleaning experience, we have plenty to share. This is the perfect time to offer our unique perspective on cleaning and sanitizing, presented in a no-nonsense approach that everyone can find useful.

Our Roots and Experience

Performance was built on cleaning private schools and doctors’ offices, which have been our training ground for everything that followed. Cleaning these dynamic environments is often more complicated than our most technical cleaning accounts, as it requires flexibility and a willingness to adapt.

The Challenge of Germ Containment

The concentration of germs on practically every surface in schools and doctors’ offices makes containment difficult. These germs can quickly spread to children, who then bring them home to family members. The same goes for doctors’ offices, which is why a bit of common sense and a dab of elbow grease are your best friends in the days to come.

Personal Responsibility in Cleaning

It is your personal responsibility to ensure that high-touch surfaces, such as the arms of your chair, the edges of your desk, the desk surface, the phone, and the keyboard, are kept very clean and disinfected for your own safety.

A common misconception is that it is solely the cleaning contractor’s responsibility to clean and disinfect these items. In reality, there is often wording in the contract stating that these surfaces may not be touched. Even if it is in the scope of work, you must clean these items personally to ensure it is done properly.

Maintaining a Clean Environment

Take a moment to clean these high-touch items at your earliest convenience and make it a habit to clean them often. Review your cleaning scope to see what coverage your cleaning contractor currently provides and discuss it with them. They should have a cohesive plan and be able to offer guidance and support.

In addition to cleaning and disinfecting high-touch areas, ensure that everything that touches these surfaces is already as clean as possible. This means your hands. Give them a good 20-second scrub often and sanitize regularly.

Remember: Your hands must remain as clean as possible. Wash thoroughly and sanitize often!
