Odds are excellent that –this week— someone planted Staphylococcus or Streptococcus or E-coli or Salmonella or Campylobacter on YOUR workplace doorknobs . . . and not just bathroom stall handles.

Cross-contamination happens every minute of every day on virtually every workplace doorknob and handle in the world, even in small offices. And, yes, here comes flu season!

Polishing doorknobs doesn’t do it.

Just because your knobs shine and look clean doesn’t mean a thing if they haven’t been properly disinfected . . . and that doesn’t mean using that wonderfully soft, cloth that just wiped the toilet seats or urinals.

WHAT TO DO: Unless you’re prepared to get sick and let workplace bacteria hitchhike home with you, there are only two ways to know for sure if you’ve got a doorknob problem:

1) Make an unannounced “surprise visit” to your off-hours cleaning crew to watch and ask what they do, or . . .

2) Call the industry’s only fully-trained health-and-safety cleaning crew certified by HEITS University professional testing programs, to schedule a free coffee-break-time ...
... HEITS Rep visit that will set you up to actually “see” hidden bacteria in your workspace.

Of course, you could change over all doorknobs and handles to brass, which are rumored to automatically disinfect themselves in “about” eight hours. But then that wouldn’t keep toilet-cleaning cloths off all the rest of your workspace. Only proper training and certification ensures that!

What’s the alternative? Watching your paid sick-days soar to record numbers? Instead, give HEITS a call to set up a quick, free, illuminating visit you will definitely not forget! HEITS is in nine States. Customer Satisfaction is always Guaranteed!
