Keeping any area clean and free of illness-causing germs and bacteria is important for businesses of all types, but it is especially critical in foodservice operations and other businesses that serve food. Businesses serving food must lower the risk of cross-contamination and foodborne illness to keep guests protected from sickness. Cleaning and sanitizing are essential to keeping your foodservice operation safe.
Facilities across the U.S. have realized the importance of infection prevention and mitigating cross-contamination. One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent germ spread and cross-contamination is with a color-coded microfiber program.
A robust hand hygiene program is integral to combating the spread of germs in your facility. While frequent handwashing with soap and water is recognized as one of the best ways to stop the spread of illness-causing germs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using alcohol-based or Benzalkonium Chloride hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs when soap and water are not available or in certain situations, such as coming into contact with a door handle or other high-touch surfaces where the risk of germs is greater.
Modern commercial skincare dispensing systems can enhance your facility’s hand hygiene program in several ways including reduced germ spread, limited risk of cross-contamination, and improved sustainability. As you search for a new skincare system, you’ve likely realized there are many new, innovative soap and sanitizer dispensing options on the market today, and narrowing down the options might seem difficult.
There are dozens of automatic floor scrubbers on the market today, and choosing the best one will require some thought and consideration. First, you’ll need to identify why you’re looking to invest in a new machine. Then, you’ll need to narrow down the best machine option for your facility based on a number of factors.
Commercial hard floors require a robust maintenance program to keep them protected and looking great. There are three phases of floor maintenance:
Removing wet messes from your commercial floors can be a pain without the right equipment.
Every 12 months or so your resilient hard floors will need to be restored with a strip and wax to revitalize your dull, worn flooring. This is a two-part process. The first step is to strip or remove all layers of finish from your floor. Then, once you’ve stripped all the wax (finish) from your commercial hard floors, the next step is to refinish. Refinishing can be a daunting task especially if you have little experience. You’ve likely heard of some things that can go wrong when applying floor finish from low initial gloss to leveling and streaking. To help you avoid these and other challenges of applying floor finish, we put together the key steps for a successful refinish below.
Are you searching for the best high shine floor finish? Selecting the right floor finish for your commercial hard floors can be challenging. While there are hundreds of floor finishes on the market, they can generally be segmented into two groups: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Finding the time and money to maintain your resilient hard floors can be challenging, especially in a time where staff is already stretched thin. To maintain soft, or high maintenance floor finishes you’ll likely need to burnish them 2-3 times a week, or more, depending on foot traffic and desired look. However, this may not be feasible for everyone. You might be struggling with labor or not have enough time and money to burnish your floors frequently. If that’s the case, then these floor finishes likely are not providing the desired look you’re aiming for. They may be dull or even appear a little dirty. The look of your floors is important. Floors can be the first impression on the people in your building, and when people think they are dirty they may negatively perceive the overall cleanliness of your entire facility. If you are looking for ways to free up staff and reallocate labor, you may be interested in low-maintenance floor finishes.
