Effective store and retail cleaning 

Infection protection for retailers

Retailers work in a busy environment where illness and absenteeism can be devastating to their operation.

If businesses don't focus on their risk reduction process they may lose business, lower their brand value, reduce workforce efficiency and in sever cases, lose lives. 

To combat infections, good personal and environmental hygiene must be part of every retailers hygiene programme.

Recommendations for your staff and customers

Hand washing recommendations

Increased hand washing frequency is essential to prevent transmission of disease. Always wash hands thoroughly after touching potentially contaminated surfaces, removing gloves, if in contact with secretions from the mouth, nose or eyes (eg after sneezing or coughing), after a break or visit to the toilet, and when moving to another activity.

Use a mild hand disinfectant soap such as Soft Care Sensisept H34. Where water availability or work conditions do not allow for increased or frequent hand wash use Soft Care MED H5 for regular hand disinfection.

Good Environmental Hygiene

Diversey realises that their retail customers must clean large spaces in a time effective manner to minimise the disruption they cause their customers. Diversey can provide products that are quick and easy to use so that retailers can ensure that all surfaces are cleaned thoroughly daily with a high quality detergent paying particular attention to surfaces that are frequently touched such as checkouts and shelves.

If an outbreak occurs a two in one cleaner/disinfectant product like Oxivir can offer a fast and effective option for environmental cleaning saving time and reducing the ecological burden caused by over using chemicals. Alternatively, in addition to daily cleaning, a disinfectant can be used in targeted areas that hold a high risk of contamination.
