The winter season means coughs, sneezes, colds, flus, and other seasonal illnesses. Business owners, operation managers, and facility managers of small to medium businesses need to make sure they are armed with a proper arsenal to combat the germs and illnesses winter brings. Killing germs and disinfecting rooms and objects employees come into contact with could mean one less working day lost to employee illness.

Antibacterial/Antiseptic Hand Soaps

The most common tool we use everyday at work is not a screwdriver, hammer, computer keyboard, or even a telephone. Our hands are the power behind these secondary tools. It goes without saying that in a small or medium office or business setting many secondary tools have to be shared among many co-workers. Can you just picture the amount of cold and flu germs swimming on each secondary tool, just waiting to be touched by the hands of an unknowing co-worker?

Help kill and disinfect these cold and flu germs before they start by choosing products like Softsoap or Lever 2000 Antibacterial Soaps or Gojo Antiseptic Lotion Soap. Good handwashing practices go a long way preventing the spread of cold and flu germs. Make sure your employees are armed with the proper antibacterial/antiseptic soaps to prevent cold and flu germs from spreading, and you will be helping your business experience less employee sick days.

Antibacterial Cleaning Supplies

Good handwashing practices in the workplace only goes so far, when it comes to preventing the spreading of cold and flu germs. Proper cleaning and sanitation practices are the biggest keys to preventing the spread of cold and flu germs in the workplace. Cold and flu germs lurk and linger in the most unusual and somewhat less than obvious places.

You may have a bottle of hand sanitizer sitting right in your cubicle, which you are free to use whenever you feel you need to. However, some studies have shown that hand sanitizers may not be as effective on all cold and flu germs as previously thought. Now imagine that you are working in a call center environment. How many co-workers do you think share a cubicle?

Clorox Antibacterial Wipes can give your co-workers piece of mind that they are killing and disinfecting cold and flu germs by wiping down their telephone and computer equipment right before they sit down to start their shift.

A clean and sanitized employee rest room can also reassure employees that cold and flu germs are being killed and disinfected before they can spread. Many Clorox brand antibacterial cleaners with bleach are available for rest rooms. Employee cafeterias should not be forgotten about either. How many employees share a common break area with cold and flu germs waiting to strike? 409 brand antibacterial spray cleaners are available for kitchen and eating areas.
