WHY MANUAL CLEANING AND DISINFECTING ARE IMPORTANT
Maintaining a clean and disinfected facility is essential for the safety of employees, customers, and visitors. From office buildings and medical facilities to industrial plants and commercial spaces, every environment requires meticulous care to ensure a healthy and hygienic atmosphere.
With the increasing presence of harmful pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, the need for advanced cleaning and disinfection has never been greater. The question is—what’s the most effective way to achieve a truly sanitized space? While automation offers efficiency, nothing compares to the precision and attention to detail of professional manual cleaning and disinfection. Our expert team prioritizes deep cleaning, targeted disinfection, and industry-leading techniques to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, giving you peace of mind in every square foot of your facility.
Benefits Of Manual Cleaning and Disinfecting
Manual cleaning and disinfection offer unique advantages that other cleaning methods simply can't match. Some key benefits include:
-
Eliminating dirt, dust, and grime to ensure thorough disinfection of the surfaces beneath. Just like washing your hands is more effective than using hand sanitizer due to the power of friction, the same principle applies to surface cleaning. Contactless methods may apply disinfectant, but they don’t remove the soil that can harbor harmful pathogens. Manual cleaning introduces friction, lifting and removing contaminants to create a properly prepped surface for effective disinfection.
-
Effective disinfection of delicate machinery and instruments. Equipment with intricate designs can pose challenges for proper sanitation. Manually applying disinfectant ensures careful attention to surfaces, including crevices and hard-to-reach areas that might be overlooked by other methods, guaranteeing a more thorough and reliable clean.
-
Focused care for often-overlooked areas. In large commercial spaces, some cleaning teams may prioritize speed over thoroughness, using broad methods that miss critical spots. However, this can lead to more frequent cleaning needs and increase the risk of contamination. Manual cleaning and disinfection ensure that every surface receives the necessary attention, promoting a safer and healthier environment.
Manual cleaning and disinfection offer clear benefits, but they also come with certain drawbacks. One major concern is the risk of cross-contamination, especially if cleaning staff are not adequately trained in the proper handling of supplies, tools, and equipment. Without the correct procedures, contaminants may be transferred between rooms. In hospital environments, pathogens can persist if not thoroughly disinfected, leading to potential cross-contamination and posing risks to patients. This issue is particularly concerning for medical facilities caring for individuals with a higher susceptibility to infections, including COVID-19.
The cleaning professionals at A&M Cleaning Solutions are fully trained and certified in hospital-grade cleaning, including CSCT training. They are committed to providing meticulous care and attention, ensuring all surface areas are thoroughly disinfected using the proper procedures to prevent cross-contamination in facilities.
How Does Manual Disinfection Measure Up Against Other Application Methods?
When compared to other cleaning techniques, manual disinfection allows cleaning teams to precisely target high-risk areas. However, understanding other common disinfection methods helps highlight its effectiveness in comparison:
Spray disinfectants are widely used in commercial properties, spray disinfectants offer broad coverage and quick application. However, they require larger quantities of disinfectant to ensure full surface coverage. Improper use of spray equipment or failure to remove surface soil can leave certain areas untreated, increasing the risk of infection spread, including COVID-19.
Foam disinfection is often preferred in industrial settings, foam disinfectants expand upon contact, providing a visual marker for treated areas. While effective for machinery and large surface coverage, this method lacks the precision of manual disinfection, making it less suitable for industries requiring detailed sanitation.
Steam disinfection effectively eliminates pathogens through high-temperature application. However, the intense heat can damage sensitive surfaces and equipment, making it unsuitable for medical facilities and other industries where safety and equipment integrity are critical.
Overall, manual disinfection stands out among these methods by offering greater control, increased attention to detail, and precise application of disinfectants across all industries.
