Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses realized the importance of proper cleaning and hygiene practices. Many businesses have stepped up their cleaning and disinfection to combat the spread of COVID-19. These efforts help protect team members from coming into contact with viruses and bacteria. Business owners have gotten better at disinfecting high traffics areas, touchpoints, entryways, exits, and other areas where people gather. But there’s one spot that keeps getting missed, the floor.
Floors can be filthy. In a home, the floor in front of the kitchen sink can contain 830 bacteria per square inch. According to a study by the Hygiene Council, the floor in front of the toilet can contain 764 bacteria per square inch. Those figures are for a family household. Imagine how much worse it is in an office environment!
There are two reasons the floors are so dirty. One, we drag everything in from outside on the bottoms of our shoes or the soles of our feet. Don’t believe us? Try walking around in socks or bare feet in your office. If you were to check the bottoms of your feet with a blacklight, you’d probably find all kinds of treats sticking to them. The second reason that the floors are so dirty is that everything falls on them, such as dust, water, debris, and bodily fluids. It all ends up on the floor. Bacteria like salmonella, cholera, and listeriosis, as well as pollen, dust, and more are found on floors.
This is why it’s so important to make sure you are regularly cleaning and disinfecting your floors. But even then, it may not be enough. You can spend a whole day diligently cleaning a space, only to sneeze and cover everything with bacteria. That’s why you need lasting protection.
The MicroShield 360 surface protection program can help. Here’s how it works:
- First, we disinfect the area.
- The treatment is applied using electrostatic technology to cover everything evenly, creating an antimicrobial finish. The MicroShield 360 solution creates a coating that polymerizes across the surface, which will prevent bacteria growth. This barrier protects your floors between cleanings.
- After application, you can continue your normal cleaning and disinfection practices without worrying about bacteria growth between cleanings.
