Is Your Building Making You Sick? (NAPSA)—Is youroffice, your gym, even your child’s day care making you and yourfamily sick? With all the recent news of treatment-resistant bacteria, many people want to know that those responsible for the buildings we use every day are doing something to control the spread of infection. There is something business owners and building managers can do: Don’t just clean for appearance, clean for health. What’s the difference? Just observe how your building is cleaned today. Cotton towels, cleaning rags, string mops, buckets of soapy water unchanged from surface to surface or room to room. On the microscopic level, the cleaning crew is doing little more than pushing germs around, or worse, spreading them. New scientific cleaning methods address this problem. The Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI) has conducted considerable scientific research on new cleaning methods, and actively promotes proper cleaning for healthy environments. Leading national commercial cleaning franchise company Coverall Cleaning Concepts, for example, has developed its own healthbased cleaning method that uses the most advanced cleaning technology and methodology to clean for infection control. Hospitalgrade disinfectants, microfiber cleaning cloths and flat mops reduce cross contamination, while Health-based cleaning is very effective in improved infection control, a major concern for both employers and their employees. training and certification programs ensure franchise owners are knowledgeable on the proper wayto clean for health. “Health-based cleaning is very effective in improved infection control, which is becoming a major concern for both employers and their employees,” said Peter Sheldon, Coverall’s vice president of operations. “We are helpingfacility owners and managers provide a better environment for the people who spend so muchtimethere.” Consumers who are concerned about a healthier workplace should ask their employer or facilities manager about healthbased cleaning.
