Choosing a product to meet your facility’s cleaning needs can be difficult, and it can be
even more challenging to find one that meets all of your requirements for both cleaning
and disinfecting. While a disinfectant may be effective against germs, many fail to
effectively clean and remove soils from surfaces as well.
Using multiple cleaning and disinfectant products can create a variety of unnecessary
risks to employees, plants and equipment.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF USING MULTIPLE DISINFECTANTS?
Did you know that using multiple disinfectants can be hazardous? While it’s tempting
to think that using more products will get your facility cleaner, this can end up
creating unnecessary health risks to your employees. There are hazards if
disinfectants or cleaners are accidentally mixed or diluted improperly, which may
result in occupational health and safety issues. The less cleaner and disinfectant
products used, the lower the risk of incorrect mixing or usage.
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF USING COMPLEX, MULTI-DISINFECTANT PROGRAMS?
When using multiple disinfectants in your facility, improperly diluting can occur,
which can reduce the effectiveness of the disinfectant. Using multiple disinfectants
can also lead to confusion, which can have unintended health and safety consequences.
If products are too complicated to use, or mixed incorrectly, employees can suffer
adverse health effects, costly damage and corrosion to equipment can occur, and the
overall plant health can become compromised.
Also, in a program with multiple disinfectants, each designated for particular areas
or protocols, it can be easy to accidentally select the wrong chemical. With so many
risks associated with using complex, multi-disinfectant programs, making the switch to
an all-in-one product is a no-brainer.
Thankfully, there is a simple way to avoid these problems!
