It is now more important than ever to keep not only yourself safe, but all of your staff and customers too.
Quidos Cleaning have put together a list of some commonly asked questions relating to Commercial Deep Cleaning for businesses in the North East and Beyond.
What are some COVID-19 precautions in the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The UK Government is the best place to check for up to date advice. The latest guidance at the time of publishing this article is:
“Frequent cleaning of surfaces, particularly those that people touch often, reduces the potential for COVID-19 to spread and is a critical part of working safely.
- Ensure you are maintaining clean workspaces through regular use of your usual cleaning products.
- Frequently clean surfaces, particularly those that people touch often. Pay particular attention to those in high-traffic areas, such as door handles, lift buttons and handrails.
- Regularly clean shared equipment, such as microphones used by speakers at events, between users where this is practical.
- Frequently clean toilet facilities. Set clear use and cleaning guidance to ensure they are kept clean, including putting up a visible and up-to-date cleaning schedule. Special care should be taken for cleaning of portable toilets and larger toilet blocks.
- If you are cleaning after a known or suspected case of COVID-19, follow the guidance on cleaning in non-healthcare settings.”
We also recommend booking a Commercial Deep Clean service with Quidos Cleaning.
How are germs spread in the workplace?
According to an article from EHS Today “The flu and other infections generally are spread by coughing, sneezing, talking near someone and by touching unsanitized hands to the face.
People may become infected by touching something — such as a surface or object — with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface.
In addition to surface hazards, unwashed hands can pose an equal hazard in the workplace by spreading germs and other substances, such as toxic chemicals and heavy metals.
Germs can be spread when people touch common surfaces, such as equipment and “hot spots” like dispensers, doorknobs and handles in heavily trafficked communal areas such as bathrooms and break rooms.”
This shows that a deep clean is essential for your business. To stop the spread of germs and keep your staff and customers safe.

Does steam cleaning really sanitize?
Not only does it sanitize and clean at the same time, killing 99.999% of harmful viruses, pathogens and bacteria, but it is also eco-friendly and does not require chemicals or detergents, just superheated water!
Steam is really effective when it comes to cleaning surfaces, as it is able to get into cracks and pores that may not be normally accessible.
The steam loosens dirt and grease, which can then be more easily wiped away. Steam cleaners don’t just clean dirt, they can also kill 99.9999% of bacteria. Killing most germs on surfaces. This is a great way to clean and sanitize your business.
