Surface Cleaning: This involves removing dirt, dust, and debris from surfaces such as floors, countertops, tables, and desks. Surface cleaning may be done using cleaning solutions, disinfectants, wipes, or other cleaning tools. Disinfection: Disinfection is the process of killing or inactivating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, to reduce the risk of infection. Disinfectants are applied to surfaces after cleaning to kill germs and prevent the spread of disease. Sanitization: Sanitization involves reducing the number of microorganisms on surfaces to a safe level, as determined by public health standards. Sanitizing agents are used to disinfect surfaces in areas where food is prepared or where there is a high risk of contamination. Personal Hygiene: Cleaning also includes personal hygiene practices such as washing hands regularly with soap and water, maintaining good oral hygiene, and showering regularly. Personal hygiene helps prevent the spread of germs and reduces the risk of illness. Environmental Cleaning: This involves cleaning and disinfecting common areas, shared spaces, and high-touch surfaces in public settings such as hospitals, schools, offices, and transportation vehicles. Environmental cleaning helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases and maintains a safe environment for occupants. Equipment Cleaning: Cleaning also involves the maintenance and cleaning of equipment, tools, and appliances to ensure they function properly and remain in good condition. This may include vacuum cleaners, mops, scrubbers, and other cleaning equipment. Waste Management: Proper waste management is an essential aspect of cleaning, including the collection, segregation, and disposal of waste materials. Waste should be disposed of safely and responsibly to prevent environmental pollution and health hazards. Cleaning Protocols: Cleaning protocols outline the procedures, methods, and products used for cleaning and disinfection in different settings. Following established cleaning protocols helps ensure consistency, effectiveness, and compliance with regulatory standards.
