Germs last long from 2 to 8 hours and can survive all the way into the workplace. Elevator buttons, doorknobs, computer keyboards and monitors, and coffee pots are some common places where germs are exchanged. Our professional cleaners disinfect these areas to limit germ accumulation and exposure.

Sanitize your hands

Winter encourages regular visits to the washroom and kitchen. These common grounds have the highest germ accumulations. Here, employees will be exposed to germs and bacteria that can cause diarrhea, ear infection, and strep throat. Viruses causing cold, influenza, and flu are common too. We include antibacterial hand wash to sanitize your hands after touching germ-infested surfaces. Ensure that you use antibacterial hand sanitizer provided after visiting the washroom and before snacking.
