Keep Your Employees Safe — RD Weis Companies Cleans for A Healthy Office
Get Peace of Mind with Vital Oxide Electrostatic Spray Cleaning
Port Chester, NY... Randall D. Weis, President of RD Weis Companies, a full-service flooring provider specializing in safe and environmentally friendly flooring solutions for commercial use, offers proven methods to keep workplaces safe.
RD Weis Companies technicians use the EPA-approved (#82972-1) cleaner Vital Oxide, applied with an electrostatic sprayer that spreads the sanitizing, non-toxic liquid throughout the room. This sanitizes every surface, not just the touch points that regular wipe cleaners cover.
A sanitizer that kills 99.9% of bacteria-including E-Coli, MRSA, Legionella, and Staphylococcus-on contact, Vital Oxide is much safer than bleach, contains no VOCs, and is 100% biodegradable. A long-term mold preventative, the product is non-toxic, and has relatively low pH (8.15). Vital Oxide and RD Weis Companies' electrostatic spraying system is safe for food-preparation surfaces, and harmless to all inhabitants.
The RD Weis Companies Sanitization Program removes biological contaminates from commercial, hospitality, educational, and healthcare interiors. The company's infection-prevention program was created through consultation with the nationally recognized and accredited environmental microbiological laboratory Environmental Safety Technologies, which can be visited at www.estechlab.com.
With cleaning protocols based on hospital recommendations and acceptable for health care as well as the office, RD Weis Companies always uses products and methods with the highest level of efficacy, and that are green as well.
About the current flu, Mr. Weis explained that while viruses-unlike bacteria-cannot be killed (because they are not alive), they can be removed, mainly by washing and wiping skin and surfaces.
"Washing your hands frequently," Mr. Weis said, "and not touching your face after touching a public surface keeps you safer. Keep surfaces clean: this flu is likely spread in droplets, so regularly cleaning away those droplets is necessary. It is also very important that employers allow employees to stay home if they are ill. Cleanliness is always our best weapon against contagious illness."
Mr. Weis continued, "While the contagious illness is an immediate concern for us, we always strive to provide overall health and safety measures for our clients. A clean, healthy office is a productive office. With our environmentally friendly maintenance, we see immediate, major benefits in increased staff productivity and retention, lowered absenteeism rates, and reduced insurance premium costs-and all of this means better business and increased profit margin."
