Traditional janitorial cleaning serves as the first line of defense against pathogens, but in today's landscape, it is clear that we need to go beyond the basics to ensure the health and well-being of occupants in any space.

The Limitations of Traditional Cleaning Methods

Simply spraying a disinfectant on a surface and wiping it down might make an area look and smell clean, but appearances can be deceiving. 

Without proper disinfection protocols—including adequate dwell time for disinfectants to work effectively—viruses, germs, and bacteria can remain active and pose a threat to health. 

It's not just about cleanliness; it's about safety.

The Importance of Proper Disinfection Protocols

Effective disinfection requires a thorough understanding of the proper procedures and the discipline to follow them meticulously. Professional janitorial companies play a crucial role in this regard. They are trained to:

• Ensure appropriate dwell time: Allowing disinfectants to remain on surfaces for the necessary period to kill pathogens effectively.
• Eliminate cross-contamination: Implementing strategies to prevent the spread of germs from one area to another.
• Use the right products: Selecting EPA-approved disinfectants that are proven to be effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens.

By adhering to these protocols, professional janitorial services can significantly reduce the presence of harmful microorganisms in indoor environments.

The Impact of Clean Environments on Productivity and Well-being

A clean environment is not just about aesthetics; it's intrinsically linked to the health and productivity of the people within it. 

Factors such as air quality and surface cleanliness directly influence:

• Occupant health: Reducing the incidence of illness and absenteeism.
• Productivity levels: A clean and healthy environment fosters better concentration and efficiency.
• Overall satisfaction: Employees and residents are more likely to feel happy and comfortable in well-maintained spaces.

Investing in advanced cleaning practices is, therefore, an investment in the people who occupy these spaces.

Moving Beyond Reactive Measures: The Need for Proactive Solutions

Traditionally, cleaning practices have been reactive—addressing issues as they arise. However, the pandemic has highlighted the necessity for proactive measures. 

This shift involves:

• Continuous air purification: Implementing systems that actively and constantly purify the air.
• Advanced technologies: Utilizing innovative solutions that can neutralize pathogens in real-time.
• Preventative strategies: Focusing on methods that prevent contamination rather than just responding to it.

Introducing ActivePure Technology: A Proactive Approach to Air Purification

One of the most effective proactive measures is the integration of advanced air purification systems. KG Facility Solutions proudly utilizes ActivePure Technology, co-created by Aerus and NASA, to provide an extra layer of protection against airborne pathogens.

How ActivePure Works

ActivePure Technology replicates natural processes occurring outdoors to purify indoor air. Here's how it functions:

1. Air Intake: The system draws in water and oxygen molecules present in the air.
2. Honeycomb Matrix: Air passes through a proprietary honeycomb matrix.
3. UV Light Activation: A specific wavelength of UV light interacts with the matrix.
4. Creation of Active Molecules: This interaction produces powerful oxidizers—ActivePure Molecules.
5. Neutralization of Pathogens: These molecules are projected back into the environment, actively seeking out and destroying viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in the air and on surfaces.

Safety and Effectiveness

ActivePure Technology is safe for continuous use in occupied spaces. It does not produce ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or any harmful byproducts. Notably, in FDA-compliant, Level IV Biosafety Laboratory testing, ActivePure demonstrated a 99.9% reduction of airborne SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) in just three minutes.

Real-World Applications and Success Stories

KG Facility Solutions has seamlessly integrated these advanced technologies into their services, adapting to the evolving needs of clients during the pandemic. For instance:

• Enhanced Cleaning Protocols: Increasing the frequency of cleaning high-touch surfaces.
• Deep Cleaning Services: Providing thorough disinfection following any reported cases of illness.
• Air Quality Improvement: Installing ActivePure systems to ensure continuous air purification.

Clients have reported significant improvements in occupant confidence, health, and productivity. By feeling safer in their environments, employees are more willing to return to offices, contributing to a sense of normalcy and economic recovery.

The Future of Clean: Adapting to the New Normal

As we navigate the uncertainties of a post-COVID world, one thing remains clear: the standards for cleanliness and safety have been permanently elevated. 

Organizations must:

• Stay Informed: Keeping up-to-date with the latest health guidelines and technologies.
• Be Proactive: Implementing measures that prevent the spread of pathogens, rather than just reacting to outbreaks.
• Partner with Professionals: Collaborating with experts like KG Facility Solutions to maintain safe environments.
