Cleaning Methods

If we are your cleaning provider then please be assured we are doing everything we can to try and minimise germs spreading by putting the following processes in place:

All Cleaners in Charge and Supervisors have been instructed to implement protocols used when we have Nora Virus outbreaks in particular schools and buildings. This should ensure that all key areasincluding surfaces and door handles etc. are being disinfected on a daily basis.

We are following NHS guidance on cleaning methods to be used to prevent the spread of germs and the following advise can be used on a day to day basis in your school or building.

• To stop the spread of germs focus on kitchen and toilet facilities

• Use disinfectant to kill germs

• Clean germ hot spots more regularly

• Ensure cleaning aids such as mops and cloths are germ free by washing them at 60c after use

• If washing up brushes are being used in your school ensure they are put in the dishwasher every day or clean with detergent and warm water after each use

• Mops and buckets should be cleaned and dried after each use

• Ensure toilets are cleaned regularly with disinfectant

• Ensure showers are cleaned regularly and if not used let the hot water run for a while before using it

• Floors should be kept clean using disinfectant, if cleaning bodily fluids use a disposable cloth and dispose of it safely after use.

• Carpet should be steam cleaned if necessary

• Toys should be kept clean and stored away

• Use of soft toys should be kept to a minimum and washed in washing machine if able

• Use foot operated bins were possible to reduce the spread of germs
