Adjusting to the “new normal” amidst so much uncertainty, as more and more of us head back to work, is challenging enough, but the added stress of the mountain of regulations pertaining to the new cleaning and hygiene protocols is daunting to many people.
And justifiably so, what must be cleaned? How often? What products are effective and safe? Will my staff/ my family be safe?
These are just a few of the many questions we’re receiving from our customers.
We have done the research so that you don’t have to, and below is a list of the new hygiene protocols as well as what we recommend you implement at home, in your workspace or in schools as the return to the new normal becomes the norm in Level 3.
