After 2 years of adapting to the changes imposed by Covid-19, we can finally relax. The announcement of the end of the vaccine passport and masks delighted many. To maintain this return to normal, it is important to continue to clean and disinfect public places.
It is therefore appropriate to give a brief reminder of the best practices to apply. The information provided in this article is inspired by this official Public Health document.
What you need to know
It is important to remember that the majority of commonly used cleaning and disinfecting products are effective against Covid-19. So no need to rack your brains!
On the other hand, pay particular attention to the drug identification number (DIN). For a disinfectant to be effective, it must be identified by an 8-digit number assigned by Health Canada. So you will know that it is approved in Canada.
Bleach can be an exception to the rule. This does not always carry DIN, but remains an effective disinfectant product.
Also, remember to check the expiration dates and safety guidelines of the cleaners and disinfectants you use. An expired product may lose effectiveness.
Types of disinfectants
Cleaner
Cleaners dissolve grease and remove organic matter from surfaces. A good solution to make sure you never run out is to buy in bulk. As it is a frequently used product, purchasing from a wholesaler will also save you money.
There are also disinfectant cleaners. These are very powerful and are often recommended for hospitals, schools, buildings, offices, hotels, factories and restrooms.
Disinfectant
Disinfectants contain chemicals that kill most germs. Several types of disinfectants are available on the market. To disinfect previously cleaned surfaces, you can choose a disinfectant sanitizer.
To disinfect small surfaces quickly, it is also practical to have disinfectant wipes on hand. Wipes offer quick drying, but are not recommended for heavily soiled surfaces.
Again, disinfectant products are offered wholesale. Save time and money!
Tips and Advices
Set up a cleaning schedule
As it is important to clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, it is recommended to establish a cleaning schedule. Make a list of surfaces, objects and equipment to be disinfected.
Examples: door handles, elevator buttons, light switches, toilet handles, counters, handrails, touch screen surfaces, keyboards.
Prepare products for use
Avoid mixing different chemicals. Be sure to put ready-to-use solutions within reach. You can also make them accessible in multiple places. Thus they will be more accessible and cleaning will be more frequent.
One more reason to buy from a wholesaler.
Use bleach safely
If you handle bleach, make sure each user uses it the right way. Remember this is not a cleanser. It is therefore necessary to clean the surface before applying the bleach.
We also remind you that this product must be diluted by adding water. You can also prepare vaporizers identified with labels. To learn more about how to dilute, check out this calculator.
Supplier selection
It is often recommended to opt for a local wholesaler/supplier for the purchase of your disinfectant products. No need to look elsewhere for your selection, the Montreal region is full of services.
Doing business with a local Montreal company has several advantages! A wholesaler located near you will further facilitate your communications, you will enjoy better control, and benefit from reduced costs.
Doing business with a wholesaler in the Montreal metropolitan area is a more environmentally conscious choice. When you reduce shipping and storage, you also reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as energy consumption.
In addition to all these advantages, you are making a responsible choice. You encourage the local economy!
So, do not hesitate to select your wholesale products on the Ralik website. Located in the city of Montreal, we are the supplier you need.
