Spring cleaning has never been so serious!


It’s April – the time of year for the traditional annual spring clean. This year, however, keeping facilities clean and hygienic has taken on added significance. With the outbreak of COVID-19 still disrupting lives, businesses, and seriously affecting the health of the nation, the valuable work that cleaning operatives do every day of the year is being realised. Because, after all, cleaning and hygiene go hand in hand with infection control.


And now, more than ever, these operatives are putting their own health at risk for the greater good, in an attempt to help halt the spread of the pandemic.


To help ensure their health and wellbeing – and that of the wider community – commercial cleaning companies should ensure their employees follow best practice, particularly when it comes to infection prevention and control.


Here at Jangro, we have lots of resources which can help with this and have rounded up the most relevant for handy reference.


Practise good hand hygiene As we have been repeatedly advised by official guidance, effective hand washing and sanitising is critical to prevent the spread of infection.
