Safety first: Facility cleaning & disinfection in 2025

Ensuring the safety and well-being of occupants remains a cornerstone of facility management as we move into 2025. With heightened awareness of hygiene and the ongoing challenges posed by new pathogens and environmental concerns, facility managers must prioritize advanced cleaning and disinfection practices. By focusing on proactive strategies and embracing innovative solutions, facilities can not only meet but exceed health and safety expectations. Here are three essential strategies for maintaining safe and healthy environments:

1. Year-Round Disinfection Protocols

Post-pandemic awareness has reshaped cleaning priorities, making infection control a non-negotiable element of facility maintenance. Implementing year-round disinfection protocols ensures continuous protection against harmful pathogens, creating safer spaces for everyone. Regular and consistent disinfection practices are key to reducing the spread of illnesses and maintaining peace of mind for occupants.

2. Targeted High-Touch Surface Cleaning

High-touch surfaces like door handles, elevator buttons, and handrails are hotspots for contamination. A focused approach to cleaning these areas not only reduces the risk of cross-contamination but also boosts confidence in the overall cleanliness of a facility. By identifying and addressing these critical zones, facilities can prioritize safety where it matters most.

3. Eliminating VOCs for Better Air Quality

As awareness of indoor air quality grows, the demand for cleaning solutions free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has skyrocketed. VOCs, often found in traditional cleaning products, can cause respiratory irritation and negatively impact health. Opting for non-toxic, VOC-free disinfectants enhances air quality, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for all occupants.
