Disinfectant Fogging

Todays two notes to help with deciding on workplace hygiene options...

1. use only skilled, trained professionals that know the WHY, and the HOW of what they are doing.
2. Ensure they are using the right product for the ultimate protection - and ensure that product is only being used after general mechanical clean has been completed prior.

Below is an extract from Safe Work Australia's Covid Safe Workplace pages...

What are the best products for cleaning and disinfecting?

When cleaning it is best to use detergent and warm water. This will break down grease and grime so that the surface can be wiped clean. Anything labelled as a detergent will work. Disinfectants should only be used once the surface is fully cleaned.

Disinfectants that contain greater than or equal to 70 % alcohol, quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorine bleach or oxygen bleach are suitable for use on hard surfaces (that is, surfaces where any spilt liquid pools and does not soak in). These will be labelled as ‘disinfectant’ on the packaging.

If using a store-bought disinfectant, choose one that has antiviral activity, meaning it can kill viruses. This should be written on its label. Alternately, diluted bleach can be used. Note that prediluted bleach solutions lose effectiveness over time and on exposure to sunlight.

Is a sanitiser a disinfectant?

A sanitiser is a chemical that is designed to kill some bacteria and some viruses that can cause disease in humans or animals. These chemicals are not as strong as disinfectants, which makes them safe to use on skin. If you’re disinfecting a hard surface or inanimate object, a disinfectant is the best option.
