Summary:
In most situations, cleaning regularly is enough to prevent the spread of germs. But “regular cleaning” means something different when you’re dealing with commercial spaces where dozens or hundreds of people interact daily. We understand the difference between surface-level tidying and the deep sanitization your workplace actually needs.
First-floor elevator buttons harbor the largest amount of bacteria and germs in most workplaces. In fact, a recent study found that the number of bacteria present on an elevator button is almost 40 times higher than on a public toilet seat. This isn’t about scaring you—it’s about recognizing that your facility has specific contamination risks that require targeted solutions.
We use hospital-grade disinfectants and follow protocols designed to eliminate pathogens, not just move them around. We understand contact times, proper dilution ratios, and which surfaces require special attention in your specific type of facility.
Clean high-touch surfaces regularly (for example, pens, counters, shopping carts, door handles, stair rails, elevator buttons, touchpads, restroom fixtures, and desks). But knowing what to clean and actually doing it effectively are two different things. Your in-house staff might wipe down surfaces, but are they using the right products? Are they allowing proper contact time for disinfectants to work?
Studies have found as many as 25,000 germs per square inch on an office telephone. With 65 percent of office workers sharing phones and computers in the average office, employers need to take cleanliness seriously. We bring systematic approaches to high-touch surface disinfection that your regular maintenance simply can’t match.
We create detailed checklists for your facility, identifying every surface that multiple people touch throughout the day. Door handles, light switches, shared equipment, conference room tables, break room appliances—everything gets attention based on actual usage patterns, not guesswork. Create a checklist of all surfaces that must be cleaned, especially touch points (e.g., door knobs, handles, kettles, coffee makers, water faucets, or other shared items).
The key difference is consistency. Your staff might remember to disinfect the obvious spots when they think about it. We make it systematic, ensuring nothing gets missed during busy periods when your team is focused on their actual jobs.

Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures and the right equipment and training. This isn’t just good practice—it’s a legal requirement that carries real consequences if you fall short.
Employers must follow applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards, including the hazard communication standard, personal protective equipment standards, and other OSHA requirements. We help you meet these obligations by implementing systematic approaches to workplace sanitation that align with regulatory requirements.
The question isn’t whether you need to maintain a safe, clean workplace—it’s whether you have the expertise and resources to do it properly. We bring both.
All surfaces and equipment should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. Protocols should be established to disinfect frequently-touched surfaces in workspaces and public-facing areas. OSHA doesn’t just suggest this—they require it. And they’re specific about what “properly” means.
All disinfectants used should either have label claims against the coronavirus or should contain cleaning chemicals from the Environmental Protection Agency-approved List N. Your cleaning team needs to understand product selection, proper application, and documentation requirements that prove compliance.
We stay current with regulatory changes and maintain the training, equipment, and documentation systems that OSHA inspections require. We understand that compliance isn’t just about having the right products—it’s about having systematic processes that consistently deliver results.
Make sure that any person required to clean and disinfect has received the appropriate training plus any required personal protective equipment. Determine the frequency of cleaning and disinfection based on your workplace’s needs. This level of systematic approach requires expertise that most businesses simply don’t have in-house.
When OSHA comes calling, you need documentation that proves your cleaning protocols meet their standards. We provide that documentation as part of our standard service, giving you the paper trail that protects your business.
Cleanliness plays a pivotal role in enhancing workplace safety and aligns with increasing regulatory and corporate standards for workplace cleanliness and safety. When someone gets sick at your facility, the question becomes: did you take reasonable precautions to prevent it? We help you answer “yes” with confidence.
The easing of lockdown restrictions and gradual re-opening of the economy has necessitated hygiene procedures to provide safety to employees and customers. Companies are increasing the frequency of premise sanitization to control and prevent potential outbreaks. This isn’t just about pandemic response—it’s about recognizing that workplace cleanliness is a fundamental safety responsibility.
We provide liability protection through documented processes, proper insurance coverage, and systematic approaches that demonstrate due diligence. All our employees are background-checked, bonded, and insured, and we maintain detailed records of who cleans your facility and when. This documentation becomes crucial if you ever need to demonstrate that you took appropriate precautions.
The cost of professional cleaning services is minimal compared to the potential costs of workplace illness outbreaks, regulatory fines, or liability claims. The link between a clean environment and employee wellness is stronger than ever. Commercial cleaning is increasingly being viewed as an investment in employee health and productivity. You’re not just buying cleaning—you’re buying protection.
Workplace safety isn’t just about hard hats and safety meetings—it’s about creating an environment where your team can work without fear of preventable illness. We provide the expertise, equipment, and systematic approaches that transform your facility into a genuinely safer workplace.
The demand for cleaning services is witnessing substantial growth due to rising awareness of hygiene standards. The commercial sector has intensified its focus on sanitization to ensure compliance with stringent health regulations. This isn’t a trend—it’s the new standard for responsible business operations.
