How to Rid Sinks of Germs and Bacteria
One of the most common jobs you need to perform in your cleaning business is the cleaning and disinfecting sinks.
Sound like a pretty simple thing to do, right?
These days with so much emphasis on disinfecting and preventing the spread of bacteria and diseases, it's very important to use proper cleaning procedures.
First, you need to wear disposable, protective gloves. This will protect you from being exposed to germs and bacteria.
Next, you need to avoid cross-contamination within the area you're cleaning. Using color-coded microfiber cloths will help. For example, only use yellow cloths for cleaning sinks and countertops, red for toilets and urinals, and blue for mirrors.
And finally, use a disinfectant cleaner. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for dwell time. Without the proper dwell time, the disinfectant can't do its job properly. When use according to the directions, the disinfectant will kill many forms of bacteria so it is removed when wiped away with the microfiber cloth.
When finished, dispose of the gloves to avoid spreading germs and bacteria any further.
