Ghent products are manufactured to be easily cleaned and disinfected. Surfaces and materials are specifically chosen to adhere to BIFMA's guidelines for performance as it relates to typical cleaners, disinfectants, and methods for cleaning and maintenance.
Cleaning
Cleaning removes dust, debris, and germs from surfaces. Using a mild soap or detergent with water to remove any unwanted dirt from surfaces. To prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria, clean surfaces at a minimum between shifts, but ideally multiple times throughout the day.
Disinfecting
Disinfecting sanitizes surfaces and kills any bacteria or germs left on the surface after cleaning. Since using disinfectants does not necessarily clean surfaces or remove germs, but kills them, it is recommended to clean surfaces before disinfecting.
Microfiber cloths are recommended for cleaning and disinfecting to avoid scratching the surface. Studies have shown that microfiber can eliminate bacteria and microbes on surfaces. Never use a paper towel or other abrasive cleaning cloths as they can scratch the surface.
To minimize the risk of damage, use only compatible cleaners and cleaning procedures. Never use ammonia-based cleanser like glass cleaners as they will yellow the surface and leave behind a film.
1 Before cleaning, check to make sure the cleaner complies with your company's health and safety requirements. 2 Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use, including proper dilution and dwell time. 3 Never mix cleaners together. 4 For the latest information on preventing the spread of bacteria and germs, please see the CDC website.
