Extending Hygiene Practices to Transform Indoor Spaces
Indoor spaces are three-dimensional, so why is cleaning typically one-dimensional, relegated to surfaces? In part, it’s because:
1. Many in the industry focus on visible soil rather than whole environment contamination because that is what many were taught and what the public expects (what they have been taught).
2. There is little understanding of how to bridge disciplines between workers tasked with removing visible contamination to environmental specialists concerned with invisible contamination on surfaces, in the air, and ending up in people touching or working in cleaned areas.
3. While surface or appearance cleaning is widely monetized — three-dimensional, holistic, 360-cleaning for healthier indoor spaces is not; or at least not in relation to its value.
