Let’s face it, clean is good! Who doesn’t enjoy putting on clean clothes, entering a clean house, driving a clean car?

Sometimes, however, we forget the importance of keeping things clean, both at home and at work. It can be a struggle to eliminate the spread of germs as well as keep up with general cleaning in the workplace. The good news is that there are a few key things you can do to help keep your facility clean, efficient, and safe!

Eliminating Germs at Work with Hand Washing Basics and Hand Wipes

First of all, stay home when you’re sick! This is probably the easiest way to prevent the spread of germs that cause colds and the flu. If you must be present at work when you’re sick, there are a few other options to consider:

* Hand Washing : Use proper methods for washing your hands thoroughly. A common rule of thumb is to wash hands in warm water with hand wipes or gel sanitizers. Encourage your coworkers to wash their hands frequently, as germs can live for several hours on various surfaces!

* Sanitize Surfaces : To properly sanitize surfaces, you can use a bleach solution (about 1 to 2 teaspoons per gallon of cool water), or commercially-available sprays and cleaners (use according to manufacturer’s instructions). For best results when using a bleach solution, spray it on and let it dry. Be sure to make fresh bleach solutions frequently as the effectiveness of the solution decreases over time.
