Businesses worldwide have been subjected to increased cleanliness standards over the past few years in response to a global health crisis. But for many businesses, it’s a standard operating procedure to insist on immaculately clean working conditions at all times. Restaurants must meet strict standards for cleanliness in their kitchens and dining rooms, and healthcare facilities can be some of the world’s most germ and microbe-rich places. With so many bacteria and microorganisms circulating throughout the air, it’s essential to keep all surfaces clean and be proactive when maintaining sanitary or sterile conditions in your workplace.

Heightened cleanliness standards have been implemented throughout the world in response to our global health crisis. But it’s business as usual for the commercial food service industry and the healthcare industry. Bacteria and microorganisms are abundant in the air that we breathe, and they land on all of the surfaces where we prepare food and medical specimens. It’s always crucial for all of those surfaces to be properly sanitized and sterilized beforehand. It’s equally important to eliminate common hiding spaces for bacteria, such as the spaces around and underneath doors. Most cleaning and sterilization procedures involve a thorough cleaning of all surfaces, floors, and walls, but the top, bottom, and sides of the doors are more challenging.
