The fastest and easiest way to do this is to partner with a credible and trusted brand in hygiene, a partner who supports you on all the critical procedures and products used for cleaning and disinfecting, within your given time and requirement.

• The products used should be safe, and effective against the broadest range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores. Dettol's unique antiseptic liquid formula is proven to kill 99.9%* of bacteria and viruses on surfaces that you come into frequent use with.
• Design a master plan for what and when to clean and disinfect: Draw up a timetable with use and dosage for different cleaning products.
• Train cleaners to understand the science behind cleaning and disinfection to gain optimal cleaning performance.

In the new normal, your cleaning staff needs to be armed with the facts about how to prevent the spread of germs. With a high turnover of cleaning staff, we understand this can be a pain point. Here’s how we suggest simplifying it:

• Design a schedule for how and when to clean frequently touched surfaces and common areas, especially when handling waste disposal, and common areas such as the doors, lifts and meeting rooms in the office building. A 5-minute daily morning review routine with cleaning staff helps them to understand this better.
• Provide employees with access to safe disinfectants and visual guidelines for how and when to use them appropriately.
• Use products that don’t require complicated usage training.
• Define the correct quantities of products to be used in cleaning each area to ensure optimal results.

Have guidelines in place on mask and glove wearing. Also, post signs throughout your premises on how and when to wash hands, and about social distancing. It’s reassuring to both staff and visitors when there is a signage indicating that you have protocols and recognised products in place.

When business owners leverage on such best practices, they can not only better ensure customer loyalty and goodwill, but also save significant money and prevent loss in productivity.
