One Monroe EFI is headquartered in Canton, MA, and stocks the right supplies to ensure your commercial business or industrial facility is always clean and hygienic. As we’ve seen in recent years, cleaning chemicals are essential tools to avoid the spread of illness-causing pathogens in the workplace.
One Monroe EFI understands the huge task of keeping up-to-date with the latest cleaning and disinfection protocols and ensuring personnel are properly trained to use cleaning chemicals. Fortunately, the CDC is a trusted source of best practices to reduce the spread of germs and disinfect your commercial property:
- Disinfectants kill germs on surfaces. By killing germs on a surface after cleaning, you can lower the risk of spreading pathogens. EPA-approved disinfectants are an important part of reducing the spread but alternative disinfectants can also be used (for example, 70% alcohol solutions or 1/3 cup of bleach added to 1 gallon of water).
- Store and use disinfectants responsibly and appropriately, according to the label. Do not mix bleach or other cleaning and disinfection products–this can cause fumes that may be very dangerous to breathe in. For example, mixing bleach and acidic cleaners can produce chlorine gas, a toxic fume used in chemical warfare during World War I. Keep all disinfectants out of the reach of children.
- Do not overuse or stockpile disinfectants or other supplies. This can result in shortages of appropriate products for others to use in critical situations.
- Always wear gloves appropriate for the chemicals being used when cleaning and disinfecting. Additional personal protective equipment (PPE) may be needed based on the setting and product.
- Follow proper prevention hygiene, such as frequent hand-washing and use of alcohol-based (at least 60% alcohol) hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
At One Monroe EFI, we carry an extensive inventory of cleaning chemicals. Whether you need alcohol-based hand sanitizer, soaps, dispensers, liquid disinfectants, or aerosol sprays, we have virtually anything you might need to make and keep your facility and your workers as safe as possible.
