The Difference Between Cleaning and Sanitising

The Difference Between Cleaning and Sanitising, and Disinfecting.

These words are often used interchangeable.

However, their definitions are surprisingly different, offering alternative solutions to workplace cleaning.

Cleaner vs sanitiser vs disinfectant:

Cleaning: The removal of obvious debris and organic substances from surfaces.

Sanitising: Reducing the amount of bacteria and removing any contaminants which can cause sickness.

Sanitising must work in conjunction with another cleaning method to completely remove bacteria.

Disinfecting: The complete removal of pathogens and disease-causing microorganisms.

Typically used in hospital environments but worth considering for a deeper office clean at the end of a tenancy agreement.

 

Why should you consider cleaning and sanitising your Kampala office?

In an expansive office space, with a large number of employees and several communal areas, professional cleaning services are mandatory in maintaining a hygienic work space.

Even though you may think your work space looks tidy, bacteria can quickly build up on seemingly clean surfaces.

Regular sanitising is also imperative for reaching standardised health and safety guidelines. Also to significantly reduce the possible transfer of germs and bacteria.

This is an important consideration during the typical cold and flu seasons. As this is when viruses and microorganisms quickly spread in closed office spaces.

A clean office space looks more appealing and portrays a positive image of your company to potential clients visiting the office.

Their first impression of your business plays a crucial role in future business together. So why let an untidy office stand between you and a potential business deal?
