At Busy Bee we have the quantity and quality of all the sanitary supplies you could ever need to keep your commercial space flawless and germ free. Using the appropriate cleaner for each surface is crucial, as cleaners are effective at removing organic material and grease while disinfectants are designed to kill germs and viruses. Hand sanitizers are a quick and easy way to keep your hands clean when you can't reach soap and water. They're highly portable and quick-drying, making them perfect for people on the go. They also provide peace of mind and protection when going out without any other means of protection.



Janitorial Cleaning Supplies
It is important for janitorial workers to wear gloves when handling commercial chemicals, not only to maintain general hygiene but also to help curb the spread of infections. Research suggests that the Sars-CoV-2 virus can survive on surfaces such as plastic, metal, and glass for up to 2-3 days in cooler temperatures. It is essential to wear proper hand gear, safety goggles, and masks to protect against the eyes and skin while cleaning. It is crucial to wear protective clothing that is regularly sterilized to prevent contamination. Disposable gowns, aprons, or coverings must be worn over protective clothing, and dedicated shoes that can be decontaminated depending on the risk level on-site should also be considered. Sanitizers with 60-90% alcohol content or hand washing for 20 seconds with regular soap and water are recommended for personal hygiene.

Commercial Sanitary Supplies
If you have a business it is typically in a commercial space. The term "commercial space" encompasses a wide range of real estate space which is used for conducting business or professional activities. Schools, medical offices, buildings and such fall under the commercial space umbrella. All commercial spaces require a property to serve as a base for conducting business operations. These spaces can range from office buildings to shopping centers to mixed-use developments.

Commercial disinfectants that have been recognized by health authorities as effective in deterring the virus, such as Clorox, Purell, and Lysol, are worth considering and at Busy Bee we have it all. Before disinfecting surfaces such as commercial kitchen tops, doorknobs, faucets, toilet seats and handles, light switches, tables, and chairs, it is recommended to start with a thorough cleaning to remove dust, contaminants, and grime. Soapy water or a cleaning spray and a microfiber cloth can be used for this purpose. After cleaning, a surface-appropriate disinfectant in the form of wipes or sprays can be used to complete the disinfection process. Common disinfectants that can be referred to include Clorox, Lysol, Purell, and hydrogen peroxide.

Let's explore the advantages of hand sanitizers. Handwashing with soap and water, as well as regularly sanitizing hands and surfaces are among the most effective ways to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Although both methods are important for maintaining hygiene, sanitizing hands and surfaces is more efficient than hand washing alone. It's a universal fact that washing your hands every time you touch a public item, such as a door handle or elevator button, would require you to spend a significant portion of your day in the restroom. Hand sanitizers that contain more than 60% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol are highly effective at killing germs, and many on the market contain up to 99% alcohol to eliminate any possible germs. We know that not all hand sanitizers are created equal. As previously stated, the alcohol content is critical; the lower the percentage, the less effective it will be especially if it's less than 50%.

Disinfectant wipes combine both functions, but they are not recommended for heavily stained or soiled surfaces as they tend to dry out quickly. Hand sanitizers are portable and easily accessible, making them an ideal solution for people of all ages and those on the go who require immediate disinfection. Hand sanitizer dispensers encourage people in populated areas to easily disinfect their hands providing a quick and effective way to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. Busy Bee has the right hand sanitizers for your dispensers.
