Post-Pandemic Cleaning Trends for Critical Environments
The pandemic has made a lasting imprint on life as we know it, drastically altering how we work, learn, gather, and travel. COVID-19 has been especially disruptive for controlled environment facilities like bioprocessing and pharmaceutical cleanrooms, dominating news and forcing many laboratories to push the limits between sterility and efficiency. However, continually evolving cleaning standards in response to intensified sanitation and hygienic concerns are helping to keep employees, consumers, and facilities safe.
Evolving Methods Ensure Safety
Professional cleaning techniques have advanced in many ways and continue to progress under the careful examination of regulators. Food/Beverage manufacturers have always followed extensive sanitation requirements and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) however, many companies have upped the ante by increasing cleaning frequency amid FDA calls to be even more diligent in maintaining a clean and sanitized workplace overall.
Trending in critical manufacturing environments is a push toward routine deep cleaning, either at the end of the day or after exposure to the virus. This systematic approach increases the accuracy of a facility cleaning program to ensure safety upstream and downstream.
While color-coding isn’t new, the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a resurgence of this professional cleaning technique because it easily isolates work areas to prevent cross-contamination, a chief concern in food processing facilities.
Food manufacturers and other critical industries have expanded their professional cleaning diligence beyond production to communal areas, such as break rooms, washrooms, workstations, and doorknobs.
