Cold and Flu Prevention for the Workplace in Granite Bay

Colds and flu can be passed  easily from person to person in the absence of preventative measures. The cold and flu season tends to run from October to April in Granite Bay. When it arrives, workplaces can play host to the transmission of colds and flu between the staff. Easy preventative measures can be taken to reduce the chance of colds spreading.

Here is a simple practical way to prevent the spread of viruses in your workplace.

Keeping the Workplace Clean

People with colds are the most contagious during the first two to three days of contracting the cold. Those with the flu are immediately contagious for five days after being infected. Ensuring that the workplace is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected is a sound basis for building your strategy for prevention. Your Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner can assist with regular and professional upholstery cleaning. This is where bacteria from colds lye dormant, just waiting to be picked up.

Cleaner Workstations

Workstations should be wiped down clean and disinfected.

  • Computers, mice, and phones. Computer keyboards, mice, and telephones are some of the most germ-prone areas in the entire office, outranking toilets for bacteria levels.
  • Desks. De-clutter desk areas, ensuring that desktops are free of old files, memos, or other rarely used objects. Tidy away pens and stationery by using appropriate containers. Use filing cabinets and IN/OUT trays to organize paperwork.
  • Floors. If you’ve been using your floors as a storage space, now is a good time for a thorough cleaning. Use filing cabinets for storage files and stow other items in appropriate containers, shelves, and drawers.

Along with these  solutions, carpets should be kept well vacuumed, ideally by professional cleanings, to reduce dust mites and other contaminates. When it comes to professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services, we are committed to green policies. These policies may include using only natural cleaning products, and reducing general waste during the cleaning process in Granite Bay.

Deep cleaning vacuums

Deep cleaning vacuums in Roseville.  The typical features with these types of vacuums  include rotating brushes that agitate the carpet  pile and loosen the dirt for better clean.  There are some models that offer a handy automatic tool conversion button or switch that you can push or  flip as you move from carpet to hardwood floor.

 Hand held vacuums Hand held vacuums are light weight, can be corded or cordless, and you can even mount most of them on the wall if you prefer.  The performance of the cordless models will depend on the charge of the battery, as the battery power drops, so will the suction power.

 The two types of hand held vacuums include straight suction and suction with a power brush.  If you are considering a hand held vacuum cleaner, you should consider its primary purpose, if you plan to use it on a regular basis or occasionally on smaller jobs.

Maintaining your Hardwood Floor in Roseville

  1. If you’re using anything that’s water-based to clean your hardwood floor, make sure you use a piece of dry cloth or something similar to brush up the remaining water from the floor.
  2. Water is your floor’s biggest enemy and leaving open pools of water on the floor will result in it going through some nasty changes and swell up.
  3. Sweep your floors regularly, using a broom that doesn’t risk scratching the floors.
  4. Vacuum frequently as sweeping can not always clean up your floor thoroughly. For example, in the gaps between planks, the dust and dirt that has gathered up can only be picked up by a vacuum, not a brush.
  5. Use rugs to protect your floor from spills (guessing where the spills occur is not really that hard to do – around the bed, table, work desk and so forth).
  6. Protect your hardwood floors from the sunlight by using drapes.
  7. Be careful when moving furniture back in the room you just floored: scratches are easily done during this stage and they’ll ruin your floor in Roseville.
