COVID-19 Cleaning FAQs

Is Monthind Clean compliant? Does this compliancy extend to COVID-19 cleaning?

As a company that frequently operates in challenging and potentially hazardous environments, we place health and safety at the centre of all our operations. The health and well-being of our cleaning operatives, staff members, clients and the general public is our first priority before, during and beyond COVID-19.

From site-specific risk assessments, staff training and certification, specific policies and industry standards, Monthind Clean leads the way in delivering safe, compliant services.

Independent audits are carried out by our business compliance department at every site, assessing cleaning operation, site health and safety, training requirements and cleaning standards. We achieved double ISO accreditation in 2018 and have been ISO certified for 26 consecutive years.

Can Monthind clean following a COVID-19 Outbreak? Does this include schools, healthcare, restaurant and business settings?

Monthind is able to offer cleaning services following a coronavirus outbreak in any setting, although we must allow 72 hours after the contamination has been identified and the area needs to be well ventilated where possible. We will only proceed once a full risk assessment has been completed. Monthind’s highly trained specialist and biohazard cleaning operatives are vastly experienced in conducting safe, effective cleans of contaminated areas while preventing the further spread of contamination.

For more information on the safe cleaning of contaminated sites, get in touch today on 01206 215300.

Is fogging a good method for cleaning COVID-19?

Monthind is working in partnership with Hygiene Pro Clean, a containment and decontamination business that deals with biological threats. They have developed their own spray technology which allows them to get full volume coverage of any void/space with potential threat in it.

Monthind’s specialist cleaning team is also able to offer a high pressure sanitating system, which is independently tested by microbiologists to deliver 99.999% efficacy. To find out more, contact us on 01206 215300.

Is Monthind taking extra precautions due to COVID-19?

Monthind is taking all necessary precautions to protect its employees as well as its customers and their personnel. Thanks to our vast experience delivering biohazard cleans, the Monthind Clean team has many years of experience in the safe cleaning of a contaminated environment, such as the challenges presented during the current coronavirus outbreak. If a risk assessment of the setting indicates that a higher level of the virus may be present then PPE to protect the cleaner’s eyes, mouth and nose might be necessary.
