Most employers, and employees want their office and workspace to be clean and hygienic. And providing this does improve employee productivity and motivation, as well as reducing absenteeism. But there is a distinct difference between cleaning an area, like your office desk, and sanitizing it. And for professional office space, you need to work with a team that can provide both. But also a team that understands the difference between the two. Just like us, here at Cleaning North West. We are Preston’s leading cleaning experts. And we work with companies and businesses across Preston and the surrounding area to deliver high quality, professional commercial cleaning. Including office cleaning and retail cleaning. As a result, we have produced this guide to the difference between cleaning and sanitizing.
The difference between cleaning and sanitizing
The difference between cleaning and sanitizing comes down to what exactly you are removing. With cleaning, the visible dirt, food, stains and crumbs are removed. But when sanitizing, its the microscopic germs and organisms that are removed. And sanitizing is an essential part of our cleaning routine here at Cleaning North West. So you can be sure your office is hygienic and sanitized.
Sanitizing your office
So, what exactly does sanitizing your office involve? What should you expect from our cleaning team, here at Cleaning North West? Well, as part of our full sanitizing routine, we will:
- clean and sanitize all desks- this is where many of the germs will be found. In fact your desk can be more than 3x as germ ridden as your toilet seat! So sanitizing this is essential.
- sanitize all desk equipment, like telephones, monitors, and keyboards
- sanitize desk legs and chairs
- sanitize doors, handles and surfaces- shared surfaces and handles are the key places for germs and bacteria to lurk. And this makes it easy for germs and viruses to spread to other colleagues around your workplace.
- sanitize toilets and kitchens
