As for the worktop edges? “It’s the worst,” says Tierno, because bacteria thrive in the crevices and even under the worktop. A survey last year by the Hygiene Council, an international group of infectious disease experts, found that 70 percent of kitchens had high levels of bacteria. 

Covid 19, colds, flu, even food-borne illnesses can be spread by touching the infected surfaces in our homes. The kitchen, where raw food is prepared, can be host to pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, which can sicken older people with weakened immune systems, notes Tierno. “Those who are diabetic or caring for elderly parents should pay attention to the germ hot spots in their homes,” he says.

A recent study by the University of Virginia found that the Covid virus can live on surfaces around the house for up to two days. Most frequently contaminated were doorknobs, refrigerator door handles, TV remote controls, and bathrooms.

Other viruses, says Gerba, can survive on household surfaces from a few hours to several weeks. The norovirus, which causes diarrhoea, can last for several weeks. You can easily avoid these pathogens by having the Amici Sanitize treatment for homes. A typical 3 bedroom house can be treated for £195 (incl vat) that can be re-entered 20 minutes after treatment.

The post Specialise in Treating Premises for COVID appeared first on Amici Sanitize | Disinfection Specialists | Electrostatic Cleaning.

Amici were called into a care home this week to treat a resident’s room and common areas following the resident’s passing with Covid 19. With lots of talk on the news regarding care home safety we’ve found ourselves working in them a lot more. The process we us is safe in all sorts of different environments and can be used across all different surface types.

We isolated the areas, and treated them with our high quality electrostatic sanitising vapour and sealed the rooms. We then put notices on the doors of the treated rooms that they should not be entered for 30 minutes. In that time the treatment has done its job, killed Covid 19 and over 200 other pathogens that may have been in the room.

This ensures the next occupier of the room is in a sanitised, healthy environment, protecting all residents, staff and visitors.

Our treatment is fast, reasonably priced and we are quick to react to new infections. 

We are ‘the bug-busters!’

If you would like to talk to us more about the services we can undertake then please get in touch. We’re able to work in any public space including restaurants, pubs, gyms, schools, and many others. With the signs that Covid-19 isn’t going away anytime soon it’s important that people take sanitising a lot more seriously.

It has been announced that from mid-June non-essential retail shops will be able to reopen, this is on the demand that they have put in place measures to deal with customers and staff in a safe manner.

Up and down the country business owners are doing all they can to help get their livelihood back on track. Some have managed to keep going with trading online and also government support but they need shoppers to return to their physical store.

At Amici we can help give a helping on confidence, we’re able to disinfect shops, businesses, in fact anywhere that is a public space. Once work is completed you’ll receive a certificate to display which will be a welcome sight for staff and customers.

Shops Reopening – What to expect

Since Covid-19 began we’ve had to become used to going to supermarkets with restrictions in place, the 2-metre rule, a one-way system and allowing a limited amount of people in the store. Plastic screens, staff wearing gloves and often the public wearing face masks has also become a regular sight whilst shopping. 

On top of these measures there have also been new government guidelines which include: 

• Limits on the number of shoppers – with queuing facilities or mobile apps to manage visitors.
• One-way systems and limits on the number store entrances open to control the flow of shoppers and ensure physical distancing of 2 metres.
• Hand sanitiser or handwashing stations at store entrances.
• Customers encouraged to shop alone.
• Changing rooms, toilets and cafes closed.
• Services that require close contact, such as makeup demonstrations, manicures, personal styling or bra-fitting suspended.
• Shoppers will be discouraged from handling products while browsing and stock that is frequently touched could be regularly replenished with fresh items.
• Protective covers on large items such as beds or sofas that may be tested by shoppers.
• Quarantining items that have been returned, donated, brought in for repair or extensively handled – for example shoes or clothes that have been tried on – must be put in a container or separate room for 72 hours. Alternatively, items may be cleaned before being put back on display.
• Cleaning of rental equipment or test drive and rental vehicles after each customer use or handover.
• Perspex screens at tills to protect staff – and some may wear masks or visors.
• Additional car and cycle parking facilities to help discourage use of public transport.
• Staggered opening hours on high streets and in shopping centres to help with physical distancing and reduce pressure on public transport.

These guidelines are easier for larger shops, especially ones with deeper pockets but for independents, it’s a much tougher challenge. The shops that are much smaller in size, and for clothing shops where for many years they’ve recommended that customers try something on before purchasing it…that now has to change.

The more you can put in place with giving staff and customers confidence the better, all things like this will help move your company forward. 

Currently these measures are Shops Reopening – What to expect and I’m sure there will be more guidelines for when hairdressers, pubs and restaurants look to open.

As we start to return to work and school, it is important to think of our own safety and that of others, whether they are work colleagues or students.

Managers have a duty of care to ensure that people in their care have an environment that is as safe as it can be. We are all aware of social distancing and increased levels of hand-washing but a treatment from Amici is the ultimate sanitisation of the work place / school / vehicle / care home etc.

People want to be safe and feel safe at work or school, they want reassurance and to know that their health is the top priority as we all adjust to the reality of the current situation.

Amici can offer a single treatment to ensure the premises is clear of Covid 19 or scheduled daily, weekly or monthly treatments that ensure everyone has the best possible chance of avoiding infection.

The costs are very reasonable even more so if you have regular treatments.

The average commute to work by car was 30minutes in 2017 – Department of Transport.

That is 5 hours a week just for the ‘average’, what about tradespeople?

Cleaning a vehicle is too often focused on the outside, the parts people see at a flash. The reality is that the inside is home to so many germs and grime.

There are roughly 700 different strains of bacteria living in the average vehicle, exposing the food you eat in your car and your immune system to some serious dangers.

Even though good cleaning products and disinfectants are available, Covid 19, and HCAI (healthcare associated infections) such as MRSA, ESBL, VRE, C.diff, Norovirus, Salmonella and E.coli present ongoing problems in healthcare.

The main reason for this is due to biofilm; a protective layer know as an ‘extracellular polymeric matrix’ that’s able to protect bacteria from disinfectants and detergents. They are found on almost any surface and can build up to several microns thick.

Until now, biofilms have been almost impossible to remove, allowing bacterial colonies to thrive. Biofilms have dispersal periods where new bacteria is released to form new colonies and biofilm.

This is why even the best disinfectants are sometimes rendered ineffective.

Step One – Biofilm Remover

Formulated to remove biofilm and organic matter from any surface, using a safe hydrogen peroxide and silver blend with added ingredients. 100% environmentally friendly, it disintegrates into water and oxygen.

Step Two – High Performance Disinfectant

A unique blend of quaternary ammonium compounds plus added ingredients applied by touchless electrostatic technology. NHS EN14885 showing efficiency against all pathogen groups – efficiency to >99.999999% in seconds.

Step Three – Antimicrobial Coating

This forms a covalent bond which can’t be removed by cleaning or disinfecting. It prevents infections and biofilms from forming, leaving a germ and biofilm free surface and guarding against Covid 19 and HCAIs (healthcare associated infections).

Too many people are getting sick, and even dying, from infections and diseases they are acquiring in places that should be safe, like hospitals, schools, restaurants, hotels, sporting facilities, and other public areas. The traditional ways of cleaning and disinfecting are simply not as effective as they need to be. Amici Sanitize aims to prevent sickness and infection through our touch-less disinfectant technology. “It’s not what you spray – but how you spray it” 

Solutions

Amici Sanitize offers a unique system that is designed to kill 99.99% of harmful bodies such as bacteria, fungi, mould and viruses. This is done through our patented and approved disinfectant which is released through an innovative fogging and spray system, reaching more of your cleaning surface. This patented formula is used as an addition to regular manual cleaning measures in order to increase infection control. As it’s 100% environmentally friendly it is safe to use in almost any situation, even on electronic devices and equipment, causing no damage and no harm to humans, animals or plants. 

Our method has been tested and proven to effectively eradicate a number of viruses, infections and bacteria including Covid 19, MRSA, C-Diff, E-Coli, Norovirus, H1N1 and H5N1 (flu viruses).

Compact, Safe & Efficient

Amici Sanitize touch-less disinfection solution is a combination of both the innovative spraying technique and patented disinfection solution. It’s the combination of this dual effect, which enables the air and surfaces in the cleaning zone to be disinfected automatically, including those areas, which you probably will be unable to reach using standard cleaning protocols. 

Low Cost

Of course another main benefit of using Amici sanitize touch-less disinfectant products is that it can be a highly cost-effective cleaning solution for your business or school. The process is quick, efficient, professional and the rooms can be occupied 45 minutes after treatment.
