Colds and cough were already present in our society since day one. When you have either one, it is a good sign since it tells you that your immune system is working. However, it is never ideal to have any of these two illnesses today, due to the strike of the COVID-19 pandemic. The occurrence of the pandemic even calls for a stricter and comprehensive cleaning protocol in society. Your basic cleaning routine still works fine, yet the demand for hiring a residential cleaning service is on a spike. Let us further understand the implications of COVID-19 in the residential cleaning business.

How Do We See It

Local residential cleaning services like Next Day Cleaning LLC is facing a great fight with the presence of this infectious disease. Our traditional cleaning products and machines are still feasible, yet we are adding more cleaning protocols as recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention. There is an increasing demand for professional cleaning services in most households and offices in the United States. Most employees are now doing work from home settings, so they feel the need to frequently keeping their space clean and organized. Despite the increase in demand for the best residential cleaning services, we never increased our rates so we can help many families and business establishments.

How About the Cleaning Protocols

We will still use those eco-friendly cleaning products and disinfectants approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in sanitizing your house and offices. Our cleaning technicians will focus more on the high-touch areas inside your residence and commercial space. These high-touch areas include remote control, switches, keyboard, mouse, monitor, doorknobs, and more. As a member of the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI), we have upgraded our cleaning equipment to include oxygenation and electrostatic cleaning procedures. These processes provided better decontamination results in eradicating viruses, bacteria, molds, and mildews. Further, all our cleaning professionals are fully equipped with the standard PPE and cleaning tools for the job. We have immersed them in a new training program incorporating the new information regarding the novel coronavirus. We also include electrostatic fogging services to decontaminate the indoor air inside your homes and offices. The disinfectant used is a friend to your fabrics, pets, and children. Likewise, it does not leave any harmful residues on all surfaces.

Protecting Our Cleaners

Our seasoned and trained cleaning technicians are the front liners of our local residential cleaning services. They are the ones exposed to the dirty environment, so we are giving them healthcare and insurance benefits. The majority of residential cleaning services are also pleading to the federal government if they can provide more healthcare benefits for the front liners. It is a good way to boost their morale and courage in providing hospital-grade cleaning and disinfection solutions.

Difference Between Cleaning and Disinfecting

Some homeowners are still confused with the distinct difference between cleaning and disinfecting. Cleaning or sanitizing your home covers the methods of removing that first layer of dirt, dust, and stains that are visible. In contrast, disinfection is the process of killing those pathogens and viruses thriving on all surfaces inside your premises. Our disinfection or decontamination procedures include electrostatic fogging, UV light, and wiping all surfaces using enzyme-derived disinfectants and oxygenated products. As a professional residential cleaning service, we keep a systematic and scientific way of giving you a customized cleaning solution. Likewise, we handle corporate clients like schools, clinics, museums, grocery stores, shopping malls, and more.

Practical Sanitation and Disinfection Tips

Besides hiring the best residential cleaning services, these simple tips can greatly help improve the hygiene of your home.
  • Daily vacuum, mop, or sweep your hardwood or carpeted floors.
  • You can use household cleaning materials like bleach, vinegar, isopropyl alcohol, and detergent for sanitizing and disinfecting your entire house, condo, or apartment.
  • Always read and follow the label of your cleaning products.
  • Read the dilution rate stated in the label of the disinfectants you are using in your home.
  • Re-apply your disinfectant on the surface 30 seconds after the first application.
  • Decontaminate your high-touch areas (countertops, chairs, doorknobs, switches, sink, toilet, faucet, cabinet handles, and more)
  • Frequently change and disinfect your hand and body towels
  • Always disinfect your shoes or boots after coming out of the house. Place all your shirts and pants on the laundry basket, once you have worn that outside your house.
  • Maintain a supply of alcohol near your high-touch areas, so you can readily disinfect your hands after getting in contact with it.
  • Make it a habit to hand wash after going outside or inside your toilet
  • Wear a face mask when going outside your house or to buy essential goods in the grocery store. Throw your face mask properly once you are at home.

Takeaways

Indeed, health is wealth, and we all share the same sentiments today. The strike of the COVID-19 pandemic gave us a new perspective for maintaining the sanitation of everyone’s homes and workplaces. Together, we can successfully fight this infectious disease and live a normal life like before. Always keep an excellent cleaning routine and schedule a deep cleaning service from local cleaning companies.
