The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything about the way we live and work in Toronto. Because COVID-19 has transformed Canada, COVID-19 cleaning services in Toronto have also had to change due to the virus. Cleaning of residences and businesses was important before, but the pandemic has made a clean residential and commercial space imperative. Here is additional information about COVID-19 disinfection services in the Toronto area.
Pandemic Changes
COVID-19 has been in Canada for over a year. The respiratory virus has infected nearly 900,000 Canadians, and has killed nearly 23,000 of them. The coronavirus is highly infectious, especially the different strains of the virus. While masking and social distancing are vitally important for the elimination of the coronavirus, you will also need to keep your business as clean as possible.
Originally, cleaning services for businesses in Toronto used to cover sweeping and vacuuming, as well as emptying the trash, and occasional disinfecting, especially in the bathrooms. However, COVID-19 cleaning services in Toronto have completely changed the way businesses are cleaned. These cleaning services focus on sanitizing all surfaces, as well as using a variety of products to keep the areas as clean, spotless, and sanitized as possible.
One of the most important services that COVID-19 disinfection services can provide is sanitization of high-touch areas. High-touch areas are surfaces within your business that are touched most often by employees and customers. Examples of high-touch areas include doorknobs, counters, bathrooms, breakrooms, and light switches. There are special disinfectants cleaning services can use to keep high-touch surfaces as bacteria and virus free as possible.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also made people more aware of the use of chemicals. While chemicals are beneficial for cleaning and sanitizing, they can also be dangerous for people who are sensitive to cleaning chemicals. COVID-19 services in Toronto must alternate between what is good for sanitizing and disinfecting and what other methods are available. For example, many cleaning companies use ultraviolet light as a way to clean and sanitize surfaces in buildings without the use of chemicals. Other companies use carbon dioxide as a cleaning method, because it is colorless, odorless and completely safe to use. It is beneficial for cleaning companies to use as many non-toxic cleaners as possible, during the time of the pandemic.
When you are looking for coronavirus cleaning services in Toronto, you will want to make sure that your cleaning service is adhering to all health guidelines for businesses from Health Canada. You should ask questions about the types of products used, and what non-toxic chemicals are used as disinfectants. Be sure and ask about other offices or businesses that have been cleaned by the Emerald Building Caretakers Ltd, so that you can make sure your cleaning service is doing everything they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
