As a new school year begins, a survey of N.C. high school freshmen to seniors reveals that unclean school restrooms cause them to have a negative perception of their institution and its leaders. The survey conducted by Bradley Corporation found that 68 percent of students say school restrooms that are poorly maintained or unclean show the school doesn’t care about its students, reflects poor school management and lowers their overall opinion of the school. Nearly half of students surveyed describe the condition of their school restrooms as poor or fair. The “Healthy Hand Washing Survey” asked students across the country about their school restrooms and hand washing habits. “The negative impact of poorly maintained school restrooms is clearly significant and spreads beyond the bathroom doors to the entire school, Female students are even more inclined to be negatively influenced by run-down school restrooms. The state of a school restroom likely factors into a student’s decision on whether or not to visit the restroom. While most (81 percent) use their school restroom on a daily basis, 19 percent claim to never frequent it. They avoid the facilities in part because they’re dirty, smelly or have broken or old toilets, sinks and doors. Outside of schools, restroom conditions in public businesses also influence high school students’ perceptions and preferences. Most students (62 percent) have frequented a particular business based on its cleaner, well-maintained restrooms. Similarly, 64 percent of adults show preferential treatment for businesses with pleasant restrooms. Please give us a call to start your school year off clean!!!

Flu season is already in full swing. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlined 40 states that were already experiencing sporadic influenza activity. Of the remaining 10, two states reported regional activity; six states reported local flu activity; and two states reported no activity.

Clean low-risk surfaces, such as floors, windows, etc., where the likelihood of pathogen transfer from the surface is low. Sanitizing should only be applied to food contact surfaces, which is required as part of the food code. Disinfection is appropriate for frequently touched surfaces and surfaces likely to harbor pathogens. Since sanitizing does not make anti-viral claims, sanitizing offers no confidence of killing the flu or other viruses commonly found on surfaces. Cleaning a surface simply removes visible debris, dirt and dust. Sanitizing a surface makes that surface sanitary or free of visible dirt contaminants that could affect your health. Sanitizing is meant to reduce, not kill, the occurrence and growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Disinfecting a surface will “kill” the microscopic organisms as claimed on the label of a particular product. Cleaning alone will always contribute favorably to the health of indoor occupants because allergens and microorganisms are being removed from the surfaces of the indoor environment. The problem, however, is the risk of cross-contamination. The mopping solution and the cleaning tools could be spreading disease in the absence of a germicide. When you sanitize, you are killing/reducing the number of bacteria present by 99.9 percent (3 log10) but doing nothing about viruses and fungus. Sanitizing is better than cleaning alone but the reduction of pathogen populations on environmental surfaces is exponentially better when you disinfect. The minimum level of effectiveness in a modern-day disinfectant is 100 percent kill of 6 log10 of an organism. A sanitizer is only required to reduce that 6 log10 down to 3 Log10. We can put that into real numbers. If we start with 1 million organisms on a surface then a disinfectant must kill 100 percent of them; zero left. A sanitizer only reduces the number of organisms down to 1,000 and does nothing about virus and fungus.

“The workplace can be a hotbed for influenza germs. Common areas, break rooms, restrooms, conference rooms, elevator buttons and shared tools can be contaminated with the flu virus. If one person is infected, then they can potentially put the rest of their workplace at risk, even through indirect contact.
