Coronavirus COVID 19 reactive cleaning

21 Apr 20


Our cleaners are literally working day and night to keep the workplaces of key and essential workers clean and sanitised. 
 
Following all the latest government guidelines and using state of the art equipment we are proud to play a very small part in the fight against this virus. 
 
What do we know about COVID 19?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.  In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.
 
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air. They quickly fall on floors or surfaces. 
 
It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).
 
Our cleaning procedures?
Cleaning and hygiene are more important now than ever before. As part of our cleaning procedures we utilise a combination of techniques including:

  • Adherence of strict standard operating procedures including the use of PPE and disposal of contaminated items
  • ULV Fogging using a fogging solution with a kill rate of 99.9999% (6-Log reduction)
  • Extra attention given to frequently touched surfaces e.g. door handles, light switches, handrails, telephones, hard back chairs, taps and toilet seats.
  • Tailored risk assessments
  • Ongoing monitoring and regular reviews

Shelley | Whyte

Our organisation have been using The Works cleaning service since November 2015, at two of our Centres.

The standard of cleaning is good and the team are always flexible. Darren and Justin are very supportive, and are good at resolving any issues that may arise out of hours; including water leaks and problems with the alarm system!

Additionally their support in arranging cover cleaners, at sometimes very short notice, has been excellent.
