Is it clean? Can we return safely? These are the doubts that many employees and company managers are asking. happening all over the world and they also do it to us on a daily basis. After all, it was months of absence from the workplace which is why Limpidus´ focus is now on ensuring clean and safe environments for people when they return to work. To resolve this doubt, Limpidus, a 100% Brazilian company, specialist in cleaning, present in 14 countries and with more than 40 years of activities, developed the COVID19 Operations Resumption Guide. The guide that aims define safe protocols and ensure peace of mind so that people can return with peace of mind. And that your workplaces are clean, healthy and safe.

Fernando Sodré, president of Limpidus, comments that “COVID19 made a mess overall, as people say... It greatly affected the the way people live, relate and work. We see that social distancing is what gives the most sense of security for people. But we are also seeing people start to value cleanliness and the way they it is done. People want to know and understand what we do and why we do it. And from now on this will be a watershed in relation to cleaning outsourcing. We need to get back to our lives, get back to personal relationships and professionals with total security. And that is our specialty.”

We see two major challenges in this time. Whether for facilities managers or companies providing cleaning services. In Firstly, restore people´s confidence in the cleanliness and safety of workplaces, to the level before the pandemic. Secondly, make the first happen and for that we need to ensure that the cleaning protocols are effectively followed and all precautions are actually observed.

In our COVID19 Operations Resumption Guide and in our work guidelines for our entire network, we take care of these aspects in order to answer this question Is it clean? Can we return safely? The environments are clean and´ insurance?

1. We emphasize care regarding personal hygiene, use of epi´s, definition of products and dilutions, adequate cleaning procedures and attention to personal distancing rules, such as on public transport, going to the market, etc
2. It is necessary to make the cleaning service more visible, as people see When a person cleans correctly, their sense of security increases
3. We develop disinfection processes with electrostatic equipment, imported products used in the USA with active action for 90 and 365 days and we invest also in quality control equipment that measures the degree of infection of surfaces by measuring the level of ATP. ATP is the energy of cells, it is the molecule found in and around the cells of viruses and bacteria. A The amount of ATP on a surface indicates the level of presence of pathogens and microorganisms harmful to human health.

This technology changes the feeling of “I think it´s clean” to “I know it´s clean”.

Beyond In addition, the focus on greater frequency of sanitization of high-contact points such as door handles, switches, door handles, etc. became our highest priority along with taking care of washing cloths, waste disposal and care with the use and cleaning of gloves.

According to Fernando Sodré, “We didn´t have to make major changes to adapt to the new protocols. All the technology that we already used on a daily basis before the pandemic continues to be the most recommended at this time. Not only the product that we already used for general cleaning and disinfection of surfaces based on Hydrogen Peroxide was maintained, as well as the use of microfiber cleaning cloths of different colors, for each location to avoid cross-contamination. Thus, our work was more about daily habits regarding hygiene and use of epi´s and raising people´s awareness regarding the importance of their work to ensure safe environments clean and safe”

From distrust to certainty

Our challenge as a company specialized in cleaning corporate environments is to make people change their perception regarding cleanliness. “Exchanging distrust if the environment is clean for the certainty that the environment is clean. This is our work in all of the more than 4000 clients that we take care of on a daily basis, both in Brazil and  in the 13 countries where we are present, be it  offices, hotels, stores, gyms, schools, industries, convention centers and everything else we take care of on a daily basis”, emphasizes Fernando Sodré.
