Experts are saying this flu season is one of the worst in years, presenting a significant challenge to businesses as it impacts productivity and employee well-being. Mitigating the spread of viruses within the workplace requires a comprehensive and strategic approach. Professional cleaning companies such as Mister Kleen play a crucial role in mitigating viral spread within the workplace. This is achieved, in part, through the meticulous disinfection of high-touch surfaces, a key factor in minimizing transmission.

Identifying Key High-Touch Surfaces 

A thorough assessment of your facility is crucial to identify all frequently contacted surfaces. Consider the following common areas:

• Reception areas: Desks, seating, and shared pens.
• Meeting rooms: Tables, chairs, presentation equipment, and light controls.
• Restrooms: Faucets, flush handles, paper towel dispensers, and door handles.
• Break rooms: Countertops, microwaves, coffee machines, and shared utensils.
• Offices: Keyboards, mice, telephones, and desk surfaces.
• Elevators: Buttons and handrails.
• Common areas: Vending machines, water coolers, and shared equipment.

Implementing a Robust Disinfection Protocol

Effective disinfection requires a systematic approach and adherence to best practices:

• Use of EPA-registered disinfectants: Mister Kleen uses products specifically formulated to combat influenza viruses and other common pathogens. We also adhere  to manufacturer instructions for proper dilution and dwell times.
