for Your Workspace.

Best Practices

FAB Maintenance Services – Commercial Cleaning & Disinfection Experts

A clean workspace isn’t just about appearance—it’s about health, safety, and productivity. Understanding disinfection awareness helps your workspace reduce illness, improve air quality, and maintain confidence among employees and clients.
Let’s explore the best disinfection practices recommended by experts like the CDC and OSHA.

🧽 Step 1: Develop a Disinfection Plan

Office managers should prioritize daily disinfection of high-touch areas. Create a written cleaning and disinfection plan that includes:

  • All areas of your workspace (offices, break rooms, restrooms)

  • A high-touch checklist (keyboards, phones, doorknobs, light switches)

  • Cleaning frequency and responsible personnel

  • A record of products and contact times.

🧴 Step 2: Clean Before You Disinfect

Always clean visible dirt first with soap or detergent—then disinfect. This allows disinfectants to reach germs effectively. Follow manufacturer instructions for:

  • Dilution ratios

  • Wet contact time

  • Ventilation and PPE

See OSHA’s CDC Guidance PDF for details.

🧾 Step 3: Use EPA-Registered Disinfectants

Use only EPA-approved disinfectants proven effective against viruses and bacteria.
Check the EPA’s “List N” for up-to-date options.
Never mix products like bleach and ammonia—they release toxic gases.
For electronics, use 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes.

🚪 Step 4: Focus on High-Touch Areas

Key areas to disinfect throughout the day:

  • Door handles & light switches

  • Elevator buttons

  • Shared keyboards and phones

  • Break room tables & appliances

  • Restroom fixtures

🧤 Step 5: Protect and Train Your Cleaning Crew

Worker safety is essential. Training and promoting disinfection awareness in your workspace will help you achive your goals faster.  Follow OSHA’s Cleaning Chemical Safety Sheet:

  • Provide gloves and masks

  • Train staff on chemical handling and disposal

  • Maintain ventilation during cleaning

📋 Step 6: Audit and Adjust Regularly

Keep logs showing:

  • Who cleaned

  • When

  • Which product was used
