The importance of wiping correctly

Whilst ‘wiping’ may seem like something we all instinctively know how to do, guaranteeing a great wipe – ensuring that bacteria and viruses are killed, debris is collected, and no fibres are left on a surface – is something that can, and should, be taught.

Topics include folding a cleaning cloth; how to use a wet wipe or disinfectant; the importance of wiping correctly; and why wipes need instructions.

For cleaning operatives to complete their roles effectively, and for everyone in an organisation to remain safe, it’s imperative that wipes come with instruction. This helps to neutralise the risk that people can wipe ‘wrong’.
