Caring for Your Surfaces with Coronavirus In Mind

It’s crucial to invest in professional cleaning services to properly maintain surfaces in your work space to prevent the spread of germs and diseases.

Bacteria can survive for up to 12 hours without sustenance and the coronavirus flu can potentially infect a person for up to 48 hours after being deposited on a surface. Both can pose a risk to the health of your employees all day.
