Viking Pure Pro Pointer of the Month: Disinfecting high-touch surfaces

As the crisp air of the holiday season settles in, so does an unwelcome trio: cold, flu, and norovirus season. For facilities of all types—hospitals, schools, senior care communities, and offices—this is a critical time to double down on cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces like door knobs, light switches, elevator buttons, and countertops.?

Cold and flu viruses, as well as norovirus—the notorious “stomach bug”—are highly contagious and spread rapidly, especially in shared spaces. Germs can linger on surfaces for hours or even days, making thorough and frequent disinfection crucial.

Keeping germ hotspots free of viruses and bacteria is essential to protecting the health and well-being of everyone who uses your space.

That’s where the Viking Pure Disinfectant comes in. Unlike traditional cleaning chemicals that can irritate respiratory systems and pose risks to staff and visitors, Viking Pure offers a safe, non-toxic alternative that’s tough on germs but gentle on people.

The High-Stakes Season

Facilities often focus on high-traffic areas, but it’s the high-touch spots that serve as key transmission points. A single contaminated door knob or light switch can quickly lead to an outbreak, impacting not just health but also productivity, staffing, and public trust.

The Viking Pure Disinfectant is uniquely suited to this challenge. Here’s why:

• Kills Germs Effectively: Viking Pure Disinfectant is EPA-registered to kill a broad spectrum of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It targets the culprits behind colds, flu, and norovirus, ensuring your facility stays protected.
• Safe for Everyone: Unlike harsh chemical disinfectants, Viking Pure is non-toxic, free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and doesn’t contain harmful residues. This makes it safe for staff, visitors, children, and those with respiratory sensitivities.
• Ideal for Frequent Use: High-touch areas need frequent attention, but repeated use of traditional chemicals can damage surfaces and irritate skin. Viking Pure Disinfectant is gentle enough for repeated applications without compromising its effectiveness or causing harm to surfaces.
• Environmentally Friendly: Viking Pure aligns with sustainability goals by eliminating single-use chemical containers and producing disinfectant on-site through an innovative electrolyzed water system.

Part of its beauty is its simplicity. Follow these steps to sanitize high-touch surfaces with the Viking Pure Disinfectant:

1. (Optional) Clean surfaces first with Viking Pure Cleaner to remove any grime or visible soil.
2. Spray the Viking Pure Disinfectant as a fine mist on high-touch surfaces (light switches, fixtures, door knobs and handles, etc.).
3. Allow to air dry or remain visibly wet on the surface for 5 minutes before wiping (if wiping).

Using Viking Pure Disinfectant as part of your cleaning routine will not only protect your facility but also provide peace of mind to staff and visitors.
