A new cleaning service to help businesses make sure their premises are safe from the Covid-19 virus, has just launched by Colnbrook and Oxford-based Grundon Waste Management.

Targeting everything from reception areas to offices, door handles to lift buttons, washrooms to kitchens; the specialist deep cleaning and sanitising service ensures areas are safe and ready to use within just one hour.

The cleaning process which kills both viruses (including all members of the Coronavirus family, including COVID-19, SARS and MERS) as well as 99.9% of bacteria and fungi.

Andy Stratton, from Grundon’s Industrial Cleaning Services team, said: “The health and safety of employees, customers and other visitors must be paramount for all businesses and we know it will often fall under the remit of the facilities management team.

“Our new service guarantees peace of mind that any workplace will be safe, clean and ready to use, allowing facilities manager to reassure anyone coming into their premises that they are doing everything possible to eliminate the risk of spreading infection. If required, we can also schedule repeat cleaning services for high-traffic areas.”

Initial virtual site surveys using photos and videos, together with a full RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) will enable the Industrial Services team to put a plan in place.

Once agreed, the cleaning and treatment process combines vaporised directional spraying and micro-fibre wiping, using a disinfecting sanitiser with active biocides that actively eliminate an extensive list of viruses, bacteria, fungi and moulds.

All necessary social distancing measures will be adhered to and full PPE (personal protective equipment) will be worn during the cleaning process, with certificates of deep cleaning and reporting provided when the work is completed.
