COMMERCIAL CLEANING FAQs

Your best defence against the spread of pandemic related illness, staff shortages and productivity loss rests upon one simple strategy: keeping your spaces clean with commercial sanitising and commercial disinfection. Unfortunately, routine corporate cleaning procedures, while effective under normal circumstances, may not be sufficient to protect your staff and keep occupants safe from certain viruses, especially highly contagious variants and strains. Preventative cleaning and sanitising during the pandemic helps ensure that your business remains safe, clean and open longer.
