Should every workplace adopt hospital-style cleaning measures?


By Daniel Took, Head of Professional Product Marketing at Kärcher


Under normal circumstances, cleaning and disinfection would be considered far more indispensable in a clinical hospital environment than anywhere else. Especially compared to other places of work, such as offices or warehouses. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, new cleaning protocols are being implemented across the board, with far more stringent measures becoming the norm. Should we be looking to hospitals to inform our ‘new normal’ workplace cleanliness?


Cleanliness is the precondition for hygiene, because dirt and dust are a breeding ground for micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses. In order to prevent the spread of germs and to ensure the recovery and good health of patients, comprehensive cleaning and disinfectant measures are fundamental to hospitals. How easy would it be for more everyday workplace environments to adopt these measures to reassure staff and to safeguard public health?
