Routine cleaning is the everyday cleaning practices. Surfaces frequently touched by multiple people, such as door handles, bathroom surfaces, food area surfaces and touchpoints such as balustrades and handrails, cleaned with soap and water or another detergent at appropriate frequencies to maintain them to a clean standard. Touchpoint risk surfaces such as amenities and food areas are also sanitised as part of the cleaning process.
Cleaning with soap and water removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. It lowers the risk of spreading infection. Sanitisation/Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.
Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection. If a surface may have gotten the virus on it from a person with or suspected to have COVID-19, the surface should be cleaned and disinfected. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.
We ensure to clean surfaces frequently touched by multiple people, these are outlined as amenities, staff lunchrooms, staff doors, lifts and escalators, atrium balustrades, impacted POS, impacted work stations and fitting rooms, door handles and furniture.
A TGA approved hospital grade disinfectant which has viricidal claims (meaning it is capable of dealing with viruses not just bacteria).
