No matter how frequently your office is professionally cleaned, there will come times when your staff has to do some cleaning. Whether there’s an accident, a spill, or things just get too dirty, it’s a good idea to have disinfectant products on hand. And it’s also important that you and your team know how to safely use those disinfectants.
We’re sharing a few tips from the EPA on how to use disinfectants safely and effectively. Do you need professional janitorial services to keep your office clean? Give ROC Cleaning a call!
How to Use Disinfectant Products Safely and Effectively
- Make Sure the Product is EPA-Approved: The EPA’s List N includes all disinfectants that are approved to kill viruses, including COVID-19.
- Read All Directions: Check the product’s use sites and surface types to see where it can safely be used.
- Pre-Clean: If the surface is visibly dirty, wash it with soap and water before using the disinfectant product.
- Follow Contact Time Instructions: Disinfectants must usually be left on a surface for a set period of time in order to be fully effective. Make sure to read and follow time instructions accurately.
- Wear Gloves: Always protect your hands when using disinfectant products.
- Wash Your Hands: Even though you wore gloves, it’s important to wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning.
- Keep Products Locked Up: Make sure all disinfectant products are stored safely and securely, especially if children or vulnerable adults frequent the building.
