While many people are concerned with cleaning their hands and their homes, most are forgetting to sanitise their phones.
As the potentially devastating impacts of COVID-19 hang over the national consciousness, a leading anti-viral cleaning specialist warns the health and litigation risks are too high for essential workplaces – such as factories, schools, retailers, logistics depots, and medical clinics – who fail to upgrade their cleaning practices to meet the new risk.

Australian company Cleancorp has received more than 1000 enquiries about its COVID-19 anti-viral cleaning services since March. Co-founder and director Lisa Macqueen said: “It is clear that the pandemic is weighing heavily on the minds of commercial business owners across Australia. “It is encouraging that most of our client base is asking for heavy-duty anti-viral cleans, but there are still many that are unaware of the differences – and potentially devastating consequences – between a regular clean and an anti-viral clean. This needs to be explained and understood.” FULL ARTICLE: http://www.foodanddrinkbusiness.com.au/news/cleancorp-sees-1000-more-enquiries-for-virus-clean
Unfortunately for many businesses across Australia the COVID-19 lock-downs has meant less work, forced leave and even laying staff off. However, if there is one thing the COVID-19 crisis has brought to light, it’s the businesses that have gone the extra mile by offering financial security to their employees, coming up with solutions and business adaptations to keep the doors open and the wages paid. When things return to normal and you're seeking your next opportunity, it is these businesses that stood out during challenging times, to which you'll want to send your resume. Businesses who have supported their staff during COVID-19 We’ve seen some of these businesses for ourselves; with some of our clients who have had to close their offices or retail spaces asking their cleaners to continue cleaning the sites to help keep them going throughout this tough time, despite the locations being completely empty of staff.

If you’re out of work, some of these industries are still offering gainful employment opportunities. Cleaners: the front-line heroes making hospitals safe to return to for doctors and nurses If you think doctors and nurses are the only ones being exposed to the Coronavirus on a regular basis, then think again. As the profession that often gets overlooked by the general public, cleaners are the front-line heroes playing an essential role amidst the COVID-19 crisis and are the ones who are making it safe for doctors and nurses to return to work each day. There has been a video circulating the internet taken in a Barcelona hospital where a team of cleaners were applauded by the medical staff for their tireless work cleaning the hospital, a nice reminder of the important role cleaners are playing
