Flooring and the Chain of Infection

Floors cleaned with liquid pH neutral cleaners turn into a bacteria buffet. Those floors become part of the chain of infection at your workplace, spreading viruses, bacteria and germs to more customers, students, staff, and patients.

Contamination Step 1:
​Cleaning with Traditional Cleaners
​When a floor is cleaned with a liquid pH neutral cleaner, it leaves an invisible, sticky residue.
Picture
Contamination Step 2:
Sticky Cleaner Residue Builds Up
​Repeated cleaning increases the depth of the sticky residue.
Picture
Contamination Step 3:
People Track in Germs and Viruses
​People walking in and out track viruses, germs, and grime on to your floor.
Picture
Contamination Step 4:
Viruses, Germs and Bacteria Survive on Floor
​The floor becomes a low-touch reservoir for infection.
Picture
Contamination Step 5: 
Viruses get on Hands, Feet, Common Objects
​Backpacks, bags and phones that touch the floor become contaminated.
Picture
Contamination Step 6:
Burnishing Spreads Viruses, Germs

​Burnishing spreads the germs and viruses into the air.
Picture
Contamination Step 7:
Germs and Viruses Spread

The germs and viruses are spread by the contaminated objects and through the air. They land on students, employees and customers, making some sick and turning others into new hosts with no symptoms.
