Sensitivity - Many older residents are sensitive to chemicals and/or cleaning agents due to a compromised immune system brought on by age or disease
Surfaces - Many areas that help seniors with balance and stability, like chairs, handrails and door jambs need to be sterilized on a regular basis to maintain a healthy, germ-free environment
Because of these unique challenges, MTO Janitorial would like to share their guidelines for cleaning these types of facilities:
- We use eco-friendly, biodegradable chemicals to eliminate occupant exposure to common toxins used in commercial sanitizers and cleaners
- Clean air ducts and vents regularly
- Clean all floors, rugs, and mats with a HEPA filtered vacuum to avoid dust and bacteria build up in carpets
- Use microfiber mops, brooms, and towels to absorb water and cleaning chemicals efficiently
- Ensure all handrails, chair rails, light switches, computer and entertainment equipment, restrooms, tables, and eating areas are monitored and sterilized
- Remove all trash and soiled waste as needed
- Clean carpets and scrub floors monthly to avoid the buildup of dirt and bacteria that can lead to slips and falls, or other respiratory and health-related problems
- Thoroughly clean upholstery, especially arm and head rests as needed
- Avoid the use of scented air fresheners, polishes, or cleaners, mainly pine scented, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas to prevent the potential for a chemical reaction that creates formaldehyde in the air
