To reduce occupant exposure to both harmful pathogens and hazardous chemicals through the use of high quality cleaning equipment and the proper storage of cleaning agents.
High performance cleaning equipment increases the effectiveness of cleaning practices. Cleaning equipment that effectively removes debris and fomite material not only prevents the spread of contaminants, but also reduces repetitive work and contact with potentially harmful chemicals.
Equipment and Cleaning Agents
All cleaning equipment meets the following:
Mops, rags and dusters used to clean all non-porous surfaces consist of microfiber with a denier no higher than 1.0.
Mops do not have to be wrung by hand.
Vacuum cleaners contain filters with a HEPA rating.
In cleaning storage areas, bleach and ammonia-based cleaning products are kept in separate bins from one another.
Any bins and bottles of bleach and ammonia-based cleaning products are affixed with large, color-coded labels indicating they are not to be mixed.
