What are the best ways to disinfect a public space?

I agree but need to emphasize the key role that mechanical agitation ( or as my grandma called it “elbow grease) plays in the cleaning process. The mechanical agitation free’s the soil from the surface being cleaned and allowing for it to removed , thus clearing the way for the sanitizer or or disinfectant to do complete there mission.

Valid point in cleaning before disinfecting but one must also understand that with Disenfection mostly chemicals are used,problem,most chemicals loose efficacy on impact,so what has been achieved? New sciences products like Microsure are natural products that give long lasting protection for both germicidal and microbial contamination.

This text clearly highlights the importance of understanding the differences between cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting when addressing surface hygiene. Precisely explaining how each process addresses different aspects of cleaning and germ removal provides helpful guidance to ensure a safe environment. The recommendation to clean before disinfecting and choosing appropriate products demonstrates a practical and well-informed approach to hygiene management.

First and foremost, before disinfecting a public space you should understand the guiding principles. You can learn this from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, when possible use safer disinfectants and sanitizers in public spaces. For instance, alcohol-based products and hydrogen peroxide are safer for human health.

With more and more human beings suffering from chemical sensitivities, reactions, and allergies, using chemicals and toxins can pose dangerous health hazards with serious consequences. One person’s cleanser or air freshener can be another person’s poison. Be human-friendly; keep your employees safe, healthy, and alive by using fragrance-free and toxin-free cleansers. An additional measure is to put policies in place to create fragrance-free and toxin-free workplaces.

I believe we have entered a new era in product for Disenfection. The wide spread use of chemicals that lose efficacy almost on impact and harmful to humans and the enviroment should be reevaluated. New sciences products should be evaluated as they can do the job better with huge cost savings in product cost and man hours,let’s get with change and support these scientists that have devoted their time to have more environmentally products available.

Well if you don’t have the money to invest in a robot that uses UV light as some of the hospitals do, then wiping public surfaces down with a liquid wipe that kills viruses like Covid-19 and bacteria is a convenient option.

Needing to protect ourselves against the very disinfectants and chemicals that are supposed to be making a space cleaner is a red flag. Use products that will keep everyone safe before, during, and after cleaning.

One thing I find to be important is not only following best practices, but ensuring proper training and development through data analysis and engagement. There is no better practice than building new skills and understanding the process, technology, and environment in which you’re working.

Always follow best practices. You can't go wrong. It always works. It protects all shareholders and gets the job done efficiently. Follow all standard procedures

Using a *higher* level of chemical disinfectant in a space with vulnerable populations (young, elderly, immunocompromised), as suggested here, is a dangerous solution. Lean into the experts for suggestions that are chemical-free and safe.

In my personal experience it is also a good policy to use unscented products to clean floors and surfaces to avoid triggering allergies and asthma in sensitive groups.
