Learn the essential strategies for infection control as we highlight how  commercial cleaning services in Houston can safeguard the health of your employees.

Prioritize High-Touch Surfaces

High-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, elevator buttons, and countertops are hotspots for germs and viruses. Regular disinfection of these areas throughout the day is crucial to minimize the risk of transmission. Using EPA-approved disinfectants, LM Cleaning ensures that these critical points are not just cleaned but sanitized, effectively killing pathogens that can lead to infections. We offer day-porter services to ensure your daily surfaces are cleaned thoroughly.

Use the Right Disinfectants

Not all cleaning agents are effective against all types of pathogens. It's essential to use EPA-registered disinfectants proven to kill viruses and bacteria relevant to your specific environment. Moreover, following the manufacturer's instructions for use, such as dilution and contact time, is critical to ensure the effectiveness of the disinfection process.

LM Cleaning's commercial cleaning services in Houston are equipped with a wide array of approved disinfectants to suit different commercial settings, ensuring comprehensive protection against infections. We also have green and pet-friendly cleaning solutions as well.

Emphasize Hand Hygiene

Hand hygiene is a cornerstone of infection control. Ensuring that hand sanitizing stations are well-stocked and strategically placed throughout commercial premises encourages regular hand hygiene practices among employees and visitors.

LM Cleaning can advise businesses on the optimal placement of these stations to maximize usage and effectiveness.

Ongoing training and education for cleaning staff on the latest infection control practices and the proper use of cleaning and disinfecting products are essential.
