Cleaning with a Twist: Why London Businesses Should Think Twice About Disinfectants
Ever heard the phrase “more is better”? In the world of cleaning, the truth is a bit different. InnuScience, the biotech mastermind behind commercial cleaning, is on a mission to shake the status quo and say: “Clean, clean, clean—then maybe just a touch of disinfectant.”
The “Justified Disinfection” Philosophy
Co‑Founder Steve Teasdale explains the concept behind Justified Disinfection—clean with high‑quality detergents first, and reserve disinfectants for the real problem spots.
- “Effective cleaning with high‑quality detergents can outshine the over‑use of disinfectants,” he says, pointing out that a clean surface is just as safe at reducing viral spread.
- His mantra? “Look after our environment as we clean the world.”
Which Surfaces deserve the Extra Zap?
When the hustle‑and‑bust of office life hits the door handles, tap knobs, or the flight‑of‑scoops on keyboards, disinfectants are a plus. But floors, ceilings, and walls? A good soap wash is usually enough.
Science backs it up: a fresh detergent rinse is enough to neutralize COVID‑19 on non‑critical surfaces. Our planet is thanking us, too.
What the 24‑Page “RESTART Program” Says
InnuScience’s guide is a treasure trove: “RESTART program: Guide for FM cleaning/commercial offices reopening post lockdown.”
- Spotlight on reception areas, lobbies, meeting rooms, and communal zones.
- Extra guidance specifically for office cleaning fatigue.
Beware the “Disinfectant Illusion”
A big, shiny bottle of disinfectant might feel like a safety shield, but it may actually give us a false sense of security.
- We could think the area is “bug‑free” and drop our guard.
- Overuse can contribute to allergies, eczema, asthma, even eye irritation.
- And let’s not forget the environmental toll—hundreds of thousands of tonnes of chemical waste creeping into our ecosystems.
What’s in InnuScience’s Toolbox?
From industrial cleaners to laundry, their product line is powered by almost 30 years of research.
- While they’re not just about cleaning, they’re pioneering biotechnology in hospitality, facilities management, building maintenance, and care sectors.
In a nutshell: High‑quality detergents first, disinfectants only where necessary. That’s the way to keep London’s businesses squeaky clean, healthy, and planet‑friendly.
