Hygiene matters, especially when entering a shopping centre, shop or supermarket. This has been more true than ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Visible and efficient cleaning and, where necessary, disinfection in the entrance area or around the information desk where people gather in different situations, ensures that you can provide a safe, pleasant and welcoming environment for customers and employees alike.

This is the heart of your facility, where your customers need to feel welcome and safe in order to enjoy their shopping experience.

Social distancing measures are a first step, as well as informing customers and staff alike of the necessary personal hygiene and safety measures, such as face masks, protective gloves, hand-washing facilities and disinfection stations.

The different hygiene measures – from cleaning to disinfection of floors, surfaces and key touch points – depend on the type of area and surface; legal guidelines and local authority requests also have to be taken into account. Customers expect a high level of hygiene measures, as hygiene and safety where they shop are critical concerns. We provide you with everything you need to make sure your customers feel safe in your shop, store or supermarket.

Daily hygienic cleaning is a must in staff washrooms and customer toilets within your retail store. Both customers and staff expect and depend on a clean and safe environment there. Regular manual cleaning and sanitising of frequently touched areas, such as door handles, handrails, washroom handles, fittings and dispensers, toilet seats and waste bins, is recommended during opening hours to prevent transmission of germs. The frequency depends on the footfall as well as on the risk assessment for the area. Targeted disinfection is only required after a known pathogen outbreak in the area. Spray disinfection will destroy all germs and allow the washroom to be used safely.

Wherever goods arrive and are stored, the need for cleanliness and hygiene is ever-present. Keeping floors free from unwanted loose dirt and dust so it does not get transported inside is just a basic first step. During and after the pandemic, thorough hygiene without any interruption will remain a requirement and will also need to be proved to public authorities. Hygienic cleaning with or without chemicals, as well as disinfection where needed, similarly with or without chemicals, must be performed frequently to keep areas safe and free from germs of all kinds.

How does dirt get into your facility? It is typically tracked in from pavements, parking areas, customer and staff entrances, loading docks or waste areas, for example. With our equipment and cleaning solutions, we provide you with everything you need to tackle dirt before it can come inside, no matter through which entrance.

Doing so eliminates dirt in which all kinds of pathogens and germs could potentially live and thrive, significantly improving the overall cleanliness of the facility.

There are areas in different retail outlets that customers never see – but the employees do. Staff areas require the same attention to cleanliness and hygiene as the areas where customers are present, as the available space in these areas is often limited and a multitude of people pass through frequently on their way to make sure the shop runs smoothly and customers are well taken care of. Frequent hygienic cleaning and sanitising or even disinfection of touch points is a must during the pandemic in order to keep the sales area up and running smoothly and according to local guidelines and requirements.

Whether small or open-plan, offices also require special attention during the pandemic. Regular hygienic cleaning may be sufficient in small offices, where personal hygiene measures are implemented. For open-plan offices, shared desks or coworking spaces, regular manual cleaning and sanitising of frequently touched areas is highly recommended. As well as desks and furniture, door handles, window handles, phones, printers, photocopiers and waste bins are also critical touch points. The frequency depends on the level of footfall as well as on the risk assessment.

Targeted disinfection in both areas is only required after a known pathogen outbreak in the area. Manual disinfection will destroy all germs or render them inactive, allowing the area to be re-opened and used again quickly
