Pre-emptive surface disinfection of high-touch surfaces

Disinfecting a surface will ‘kill’ 99.9% of the microscopic organisms. The proper use of disinfectants can help contain and prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses.

With outbreaks of many different kinds comes an enormous amount of infections. Office disinfection has become more critical now than ever.

AMC’s Pre-emptive Surface Disinfection ensures all high-touch surfaces in all shared spaces such as offices, schools, retail, medical and all other sectors are covered.

Executive meeting room

Corridors/Common areas

Washroom

Desk surfaces are high risk hotspots housing viruses and bacteria. Bacteria can transfer from surface to hand and cause infectious diseases from the common flu to dangerous novel Coronavirus Covid-19.

Food preparation surfaces in kitchens can be home to pathogenic strains of E. coli. It can be transmitted from surface to hand, hand to mouth or by infected food and can cause Gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections. Bench tops, tables, microwave handles and fridge handles become hotspots for bacteria that is transferred from hand to surface to hand.

Door handles and desk surfaces are high risk hotspots in meeting rooms, housing all types of viruses and bacteria. These can be transferred from surface to hand causing infectious diseases from common flu to dangerous novel Coronavirus Covid-19.

High footfall makes the copier room a germ hotspot.The photocopier, side tables, staplers and binders can harbour viruses and bacteria which can be transferred from surface to hand causing cross-contamination of dangerous viruses and bacteria.

High usage of stairs means the handrails become common areas of germ hotspots. The risk of contamination from surface to hand, hand to hand and via respiratory droplets is very high.

Lift buttons outside and inside the lifts are germ hotspots.

Boardroom tables, door handles and arms of chairs are hot spots for germs. Bacteria and viruses can be transferred surface to hand, hand to hand and via respiratory droplets. Bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can affect the air quality increasing risk for asthma sufferers.

High footfall makes corridors and common areas germ hotspots. Bacteria and viruses harbouring on push-door plates and swivelling glass entryways can be transferred from surface to hand and hand to hand. Bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can affect the air quality increasing risk for asthma sufferers.

High risk hotspots in the washroom include toilets, flush handles and cubicle handles. Salmonella and Campylobacter are commonly found here, both cause Gastroenteritis. The germs are transferred from surface to hand.

Fogging disinfection

Our fogging disinfection service gives greater efficiency and coverage to reach difficult areas like ceilings, high walls and cupboards. This is an additional treatment to regular cleaning to ensure day-to-day maintenance of cross-contamination. Fogging cleaning uses extremely small droplets of disinfectant. These droplets settle under, on top of and on the sides of many objects and in inaccessible areas that couldn’t be reached with conventional cleaning methods. Fogging has been found to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores depending on the disinfectant used.
