If you are like many business owners, you had to close your doors due to COVID-19. However long your company has remained closed, a reopening may be just as daunting as it is exciting. As restrictions ease, it’s time to come up with a game plan. 

The post COVID-19 business world may look a lot different than it did before, and we will all have to adapt to the “new normal.” This is particularly true in terms of cleaning and sanitizing to continue to prevent the spread of the virus. 

As you prepare to have your building open yet again, you may find yourself overwhelmed. Let us ease some of that stress with preparation tips and sanitizing services. 

Are You Ready to Reopen?

Do you know the opening date for your business? If so, you may have a lot to figure out in order to reopen safely. Start by creating a checklist so you can take it one task at a time. It is your responsibility to create a safe and clean place for people to return to, while keeping the virus in mind throughout the process. While COVID-19 may be creating a new normal, you can embrace it without extra stress by putting together a checklist of the following: 

• Your pre-opening sanitizing plan
• Your daily prevention plan
• Your goals for cleanliness

What do you need to create a healthy environment for everyone who enters your building? Many buildings have not been cleaned since closing down. If you did not sanitize your building prior to closing, be sure to do it as soon as possible so the space is clean and ready for business. For those that did sanitize, you will want to do a full cleaning service once more, especially if you have been closed for a particularly long time.

Once the building is clean you need to form a strategy to keep it that way. Next, focus on what preventative measures you will be taking on a daily basis to keep your business safe. 

 
How Much Cleaning Is Enough?

Whether you have an office building or medical facility, you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer size of the job. Luckily a full-service cleaning company like U.S. Servico can help. You have enough on your plate, take a moment to relax and trust that the cleanliness of your building is in good hands.

When it comes to cleaning your building, you do want to focus on disinfecting. Not only does the air need to be cleaned, but every surface has to be disinfected before you can allow your staff to return to the building. Certain hospital-grade disinfectants can wipe out COVID-19 and other viruses. Not only will they kill viruses on hard, nonporous surfaces but they can also help to control mold and odors in the building.

Every business is different. Your interaction with customers or clients on a daily basis is going to be unique. This means that your decisions may not reflect those of other businesses. The best way to come up with an idea of how much cleaning will be enough and which steps you should take as you resume business as normal is to speak with a cleaning professional. Professionals will work with you to create the plan that’s right for you. 

Do You Have a Plan?

If you’re feeling stressed about your reopening, then you are not alone. The best way to tackle your worries is to have a plan in place. Not only is it vital to the safety of your employees, but it is crucial to your ability to reopen with fewer stressors. If you have a plan, there won’t be any surprises.

To form the best plan of action, you should discuss your options with a cleaning service. You will want to dictate to your employees what your plan is. For instance, if you require every person to sanitize their work station, provide them with instructions on how to do so as well as how often. It is important that all of the rules are clear. Remember it is always better to stay diligent with your sanitizing plans.
