What is Industrial Cleaning?

In short, industrial cleaning involves the use of specialist equipment and machinery to achieve a deep, thorough clean. If carried out regularly, this process can maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of an area, helping to ensure it meets the appropriate health and safety regulations, as well as providing pleasant conditions for employees to work in. Aside from using specialist equipment, specific cleaning products such as chemicals, solvents and agents, are likely to be used during the process. A specific method and technique may also be used depending on the type of clean that’s needed. The specialists carrying out the work will be able to determine exactly what is required to achieve the best results.

Commercial cleaners typically specialise in removing dirt and grime inside public spaces, businesses, and other workplaces such as: Offices Retail units, independent stores, and shopping centres Kitchens, cafes, bars, and restaurants Hotels and spas Car showrooms Doctors’ surgeries and dental practices Leisure centres, cinemas, and gyms Schools, universities, and other educational establishments Overall, commercial cleaning contractors are hired, often on a contract or ad hoc basis, by all types of businesses to clean a whole host of different property types.

What can employers do in practice to help prevent the spread of COVID-19?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, employers have a duty of care to protect their employees and visitors when on-site. If you are an employer, there are several things you can do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the people in your workplace.

Here are the measures you can put in place to promote a COVID-secure working environment.

Encourage social distancing

Measures should be in place to ensure all users of communal areas follow the guidelines on social distancing by keeping at least 1 metre apart.

Increased cleaning

Clean shared areas such as desks, countertops, and tables after each use, and increase the weekly office clean to every day.

Promote regular and thorough handwashing amongst your employees, contractors, and clients

Place signs next to sinks to encourage employees, contractors, and visitors to wash their hands with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds as often as possible.

Provide additional hand sanitiser throughout the building

In addition to promoting regular handwashing, you can also provide an alcohol-based hand sanitiser containing at least 60% alcohol. Leave hand sanitisers in high traffic areas such as at reception desks, in kitchens, and next to entrances.

Carry out frequent deep cleaning

Germs can hide anywhere, and sometimes it is just not possible to reach every single corner of the workplace. That is why it is essential to carry out regular deep cleans to ensure that every nook and cranny is clean.
