Cleaning
2
During the winter months, people are more
susceptible to illnesses and infections. One of
the reasons for the increase in sicknesses is due
to reduced humidity in indoor air and lower air
quality.
3
Heated air is drier and holds less humidity, so
it does not effectively remove airborne viruses
and bacteria as easily as it does during the
summer months, when the air is much more humid.
4
As a medical professional, you will want to make
sure your medical office healthcare providers and
staff are better able to fight off infections
when being exposed to so many germs, illnesses
and sicknesses from your patients. Our Toronto
professional cleaning service is pleased to offer
these useful tips and suggestions
5
Make sure air filters are changed on a monthly
basis -   Your heating system needs to have
filters changed on a regular basis to ensure they
are working properly to remove dust, dirt,
bacteria, and other contaminants from the air you
breathe.
6
Use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity
levels   You could have a humidification
system installed to supplement your heating
system or use stand-alone units in key locations
throughout your facility.
7
When humidity levels are increased, as already
mentioned above, the added moisture helps remove
more contaminants from the air, as well as helps
prevent static electricity and address concerns
over dry and chapped skin conditions.
8
Have your facility cleaned on a daily basis by
our medical office cleaning company-  Examination
rooms, waiting areas, nurse and administrative
staff work areas, break areas,
9
and more all need to be detailed cleaned to
remove germs and illness causing bacteria and
viruses. We will even make sure those commonly
overlooked areas are properly sanitized, like
keyboards and mice!
10
Verify your staff is up-to-date on their
immunizations Healthcare providers and those
that come into contact with sick patients on a
daily basis need to make sure they have the added
protections immunizations, like the flu shot can
provide.
11
Have carpeting deep cleaned monthly in the
wintertime -   Bacteria, mold, mildew, and other
such particles can get trapped deep inside
carpeting. If you have carpeted areas within your
facility, it is important to remove these items
to prevent them from spreading illnesses.
12
Have entrance mats cleaned daily and changed out
weekly Just like carpeting, entryway door
mats can become hosts to mold, mildew, and other
contaminants.
13
Sanitize numerous times throughout the day
 Wipe down countertops, sinks, and other such
areas several times daily with the appropriate
sanitizers to kill germs. Our cleaning company
will also sanitize work areas during our cleaning
visits!
14
Wash hands frequently -   Make sure to
encourage your staff to get into the habit of
washing their hands more often whenever switching
tasks and supplement hand washing with hand
sanitizers.
15
By taking the time to ensure your medical office
is properly cleaned, sanitized and maintained
throughout the winter months, you can help reduce
the likelihood your staff will become ill.
