Controlling and eradicating illness causing germs

The best way to stay disease-free and prevent infections from happening in the first place, is to be as clean as possible. You can prevent illness through simple tactics, such as regular hand washing, decontamination cleaning, and re-leaning on a clean routine.

1. Decontamination Cleaning

• Decontamination cleaning is always the first step in preventing the spread of illness causing germs. 
• Practice general cleaning to remove dirt and soil with a general cleaning and decontamination product.
• Treatment should include decontamination cleaning of the entire cubic square surroundings to include air, walls, carpet and vent sanitization.
• Set a regular cleaning and decontamination schedule for your facility. 

2. Recontamination Cleaning

• Once facility has been cleaned and decontaminated, areas are susceptible to becoming recontaminated by normal traffic or infected visitors.
• Encourage the wiping down of surfaces that are frequently touched. Use only products that are proven and that you know really work
• Illness-causing germs can live on surfaces for up to 72 hours and can be reintroduced within those 72 hours forming a constant state of contamination. 

3. Hand Washing

• Often overlooked, hand washing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect you from germs and most infections.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food, after coughing or sneezing, after changing a diaper, and after using the toilet.
• If soap and water aren't readily available, alcohol-free hand-sanitizing products offer good protection. 

4. Living Clean and Healthy

• Proper sanitizing is particularly important to stop germ transmission, especially to stop the spread of illnesses to others.
• It is healthy to get plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and keep your germs to yourself.
• Promote clean contact with others.
