Better Ways to Clean
Employers should take advantage of recent advances in safe cleaning practices and the availability of modern cleaning equipment that minimizes the use of chemicals.
Floor scrubbers, such as this one, are great options for cleaning work areas.
Practices and equipment to consider include the following:
- walk-off mats placed inside and outside of entryways (to prevent dirt from being tracked into the building)
- microfiber mops, cloths and dusters
- high-filtration HEPA vacuums
- walk-behind hard floor auto-scrubbers
- chemical-free cleaning systems
Building owners and planners should take building cleaning into consideration when designing new buildings, remodeling old buildings and choosing materials, such as flooring.
