With so much news coverage in these past few months focusing on the global Coronavirus outbreak, it can feel a bit overwhelming as to what measures you should be taking to protect yourself, your family and your co-workers from the disease.

A colour coded cleaning system is an important staple in any good commercial cleaning service. Colour coded cleaning involves using specific coloured cleaning products, such as microfiber cloths and mops, for dedicated tasks or areas. The main goal of this approach is to prevent instances of cross contamination. Other benefits include simplifying cleaner training and reducing uncertainty.

Germs can spread like wildfire in any work environment as a result of unhygienic employee habits. Whether it be sneezing without using a tissue, leaving dirty dishes in the communal kitchen sink or not wiping away food crumbs on desks. But exactly how germy is your place of business?
