Antiviral Cleaning During a Pandemic
22 June 2020
Covid-19
If you have covid-19 positive members of staff in your workplace you will likely want to book a deep antiviral clean.
Most of the companies who supply this service are existing crime scene cleaners who have full PPE and heavy duty cleaning chemicals.
They are equipped with machinery that can spray chemicals over hard surfaces, soft furnishings and outdoor areas of your site.
This is called fogging and is a specialist cleaning service that Core Services does not provide. If you fill in our Service Builder we can find a reputable supplier with experience. Due to the virus, many new fogging companies have sprung up almost overnight and some do not have proper training. We’ll put you in touch with the experts.
Ongoing cleaning measures:
While there is still a palpable risk we as employers are responsible for the safety of our operatives. For this reason we are only sending them to sites who agree to our antiviral cleaning programme.
Cleaning operatives clean as usual then go over hard surfaces with Diversey Oxivir, a medical-grade chemical from one of the best suppliers in the world. At the start of the pandemic we could not purchase this chemical as it was in high demand at NHS and medical facilities. As this is a medical issue we do not feel confident in household products and want to make sure we are giving the very best protection to our clients in a cost-effective manner.
The corona virus is part of a family of viruses that have a fatty outer shell. Oxivir penetrates the outer shell and goes on to attack the virus itself. We are more confident in this product than any other.

What is included in office cleaning?
How can I keep my workplace safe from the mutated corona virus? The mutated corona virus is far more contagious than the previous strain. To protect your workplace double down on your existing safety measures. Here’s what we are recommending to our manufacturing clients: Split your workplace into zones such as: • Shop floor • Office spaces • Kitchens • Toilets • Warehouse/storage Whenever moving into a different zone carry out these hygiene measures: • Wear a mask • Maintaining social distancing • Wash hands or change gloves Between each zone? Yes, between each zone. Even if it’s only a few feet from the shop floor to the office? Yes! To really keep your staff safe use cleaning products designed to attack enveloped viruses. And make sure your cleaning operatives are touchpoint cleaning trained. Our operatives have always been touchpoint trained since Core Services began in 2015. If you want a cleaning service you can count on you can call us during office hours on 01384 918 451. Or you can fill in the contact us form and we will get back to you within one working day.
