With the changing seasons and fluctuating temperatures, the alarm bells are ringing again for peak season for infectious diseases like influenza and hand, foot, and mouth disease (enterovirus). For school, childcare center, and residential property managers, this isn't just a health issue; it's a severe test of management skills, responsibility, and responsiveness. A single child's sneeze can trigger a chain reaction within days, leading to class closures, parental anxiety, and community panic.
The traditional cleaning standard of "seeing is clean" is no longer enough in the face of these invisible enemies. What you need now is a more proactive and scientific strategy -Defensive CleaningThe core goal of this strategy is not to remedy the situation after the fact, but to proactively cut off the transmission chain of viruses and bacteria beforehand, and to establish a solid line of defense for the health of every user you protect.
This guide will provide you with a set of checklist-style, immediately executable operation manuals.
The first line of defense: "sniper-style" disinfection of high-frequency contact points
One of the most common ways viruses spread is through contact. A contaminated door handle can transmit the virus to anyone using room 40-60% within a building within an hour. Therefore, frequent and accurate disinfection of high-touch points is a top priority for prevention.
- Locking target:
- School/center: Door handles, classroom tables and chairs, lockers, faucets, play equipment, shared toys, tablet computers.
- Property/building: Elevator buttons (inside and outside), door handrails, mailboxes, intercom buttons, and club facility buttons.
- Action Guide:
- Boost frequency: During peak periods, the frequency of disinfection should be increased from once a day toEvery 2-4 Once an hour.
- Correct method: Use an effective disinfectant approved by health authorities or internationally certified (such as a 1:99 diluted bleach solution). The key is to "wipe" rather than "spray," ensuring the disinfectant has sufficient contact time on the surface (usually 1-2 minutes) to effectively kill pathogens.
The second line of defense: "air barrier" management in public spaces
Droplet and airborne transmission are the main routes of respiratory disease transmission. A closed, poorly ventilated classroom or hall is a hotbed for virus transmission.
- Locking target: Closed or semi-enclosed spaces such as toilets, changing rooms, pantries, classrooms, meeting rooms, and elevator cars.
- Action Guide:
- Improve ventilation: When weather permits, open windows as much as possible to increase fresh air convection, which is the simplest and most effective way to dilute the virus concentration.
- Professional purification: For spaces that cannot be naturally ventilated, professional air purification equipment must be installed. HEPA H13 or above grade filterThe purifier can effectively filter out suspended particles to which viruses are attached.Active sterilization technology (such as bipolar ionization), it can further destroy the bacterial structure in the air and on the surface of objects and establish a more comprehensive air barrier.
The final line of defense: "terminal disinfection" after a case occurs
When a confirmed case unfortunately occurs, rapid and thorough terminal disinfection is the last and most critical step to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
- Action Guide:
- Isolate immediately: Immediately seal off areas where the patient has stayed for a long time (such as their classroom or office seat).
- Seeking major: Terminal disinfection is more than just ordinary cleaning. It requires professional-grade disinfectants, specialized equipment (like fogging machines), and trained professionals to ensure every nook, cranny, and surface is thoroughly treated while ensuring operator safety.Never allow untrained employees to handle the product on their own to avoid secondary transmission or chemical injury.
