What is Health-Based Cleaning?
Aesthetic appearance of a facility alone is no longer the standard for cleanliness nor does it determine whether a building is healthy. Instead, health-based or hygienic cleaning, is now the highest standard of cleanliness for the professional cleaning industry. Health-based cleaning has been recognized as the most effective way to determine if a surface or facility is clean and healthy by such organizations as the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI). In essence, health-based cleaning is scientifically proven to utilize cleaning products, procedures, and/or systems to effectively remove soils and disease-causing microbials from environmental surfaces.
Science has now proven that if you are using a typical cleaning service, not only are they not disinfecting areas of high-risk contamination, but worse, they could be spreading disease around your facility. The typical cleaning company will wipe surfaces with rags, sponges, and conventional cleaning cloths along with mopping floors with "string" mops and buckets that can spread more contaminants than they remove. In fact, scientific studies have concluded that the last surface cleaned with a conventional cleaning cloth, which is usually a terrycloth towel, may have two to as much as eight times more soil on it than the first surface cleaned with the towel.
Health-based cleaning uses microfiber towels that are labeled into quadrants-1 to 4 on one side and 5 to 8 on the other- and can be folded as needed by numbered quadrant. Microfiber is 99 percent more effective at soil and matter retention than conventional cleaning cloths. In addition, we use the same color coding system that has long been standard procedure in hospitals around the world. It assures that a red towel, for instance, is always used to clean areas such as toilets and urinals whereas a green towel is used in food service areas and a yellow towel to wipe clean office desktops.
