Protection & Care Products

While prevention is key to the spread of any contagion, there are products we can provide beyond general cleaners as part of your regular cleaning service for building entrances, commonly used areas, high-touch surfaces or in specialized applications.
=

HEIGHTENED METHODS AND STRONGER DISINFECTANTS

By switching from all-purpose cleaners to EPA specific registered disinfectants, this can help to significantly reduce the spread of pores and pathogens while adhering to strict disinfection processes and protocols. At MBM, we use precise disinfecting procedures for high volume and high touch surfaces.

HEIGHTENED SERVICE VOLUMES

Increasing the volume of cleaning with disinfectants in high congestion areas is an additional measure you can take to help protect your facility and occupants. At MBM, we will partner with you to understand congestion patterns and occupancy thresholds to determine specific needs that will benefit your organization.

If you would like additional services outside the standard scope of currently contracted work, such as increased volume of cleanings for high congestion areas, please contact MBM today at (916) 333-1549 for a free risk assessment.

Stopping the spread of COVID-19

According to the CDC, there is currently no vaccine developed to prevent COVID-19. However, we  can all play a significant role in helping to prevent the spread of this contagion. The CDC recommends everyday preventive procedures to help stop the spread of COVID-19:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are ill.
  • Stay home if you are ill
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a napkin tissue, then dispose in waste receptacle
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, handles, items by using a regular household cleaning spray or cloth..
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 60 seconds, especially after going to the restroom; before consuming food; and after touching your face, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol.

Regular & Routine Cleanings

Routine Consistent Cleanings

The CDC recommends performing the following routine environmental cleaning that may help prevent exposures to acute respiratory illness, including COVID-19:

  • Routinely clean all frequently touched objects, desks ad various surfaces in workplace, such as desk, countertops and doorknobs. Use cleaning agents that are routinely used in these areas and follow the specific directions on the labels.
  • Provide disposable Clorox wipes so that commonly used surfaces can be cleaned before and after each use.

Important Practices For Closed Buildings

When buildings are shut down and or minimally staffed, we recommend procedures for staying on top of regular HVAC maintenance, air quality improvement and ensuring that all power systems are operating properly.

  • Keep HVAC running – Even if buildings are not occupied, insufficient temperature and humidity control can lead to mold and moisture build-up
  • Adjust HVAC systems to match changes in occupancy or operational needs to avoid unnecessary spend
  • Maintain building temperature between 50 and 82 degrees and a maximum humidity of 63%
  • Clean air ducts and coils
  • Perform preventative maintenance now (HVAC, power, and lighting assets) while buildings are not in full capacity use
  • Run emergency backup power systems to ensure uptime if and when they are needed
