Healthy Living Adjustments for Viruses

Healthy Living involves

  1. Healthy Personal Actions and Responsibilities
  2. Healthy & Appropriate Cleaning and Disinfection Practices on
  3. Healthy Building Surfaces - Appropriately Cared for Surfaces.

Healthy Personal Actions & Responsibilities

  • Maintaining social distance – outside the sneeze zone – of 6 feet min.
  • Cover coughs & sneezes with tissue or elbow but not hand which will then be used to touch and contaminate other services
  • Wash hands
    • After Coughing or Sneezing into hands (if one has forgotten the elbow or tissue rule)
    • After using the bathroom – think through how you will operate door, sink water and soap dispensers, and clothing fasteners and zippers as part of your process, as this will change depending on the set-up in the bathroom you are in.
    • After touching a multiple person shared surface – doorknob, ATM touchscreen, Gas pump, Public car vac, Public Air, Mailbox, Store doors, Grocery carts, grocery baskets
    • Using a public facility, fitness center, sports arena, bar, restaurant or other place that serves the public
  • Avoid touching public surfaces where possible.

Healthy & Appropriate Cleaning & Disinfection Practices including:

  • What chemicals we clean with – avoid cleaners that offer multiple purposes as they need to leave something behind when we are striving to remove all contaminants from the surface.
  • What chemicals we disinfect with – be sure they are suitable for the purpose at hand. CDC offers guidance on the type products suitable for managing COVID-19.
  • What we use to apply and remove our cleaner & disinfectant and how we handle them after use – Paper Towels can immediately be thrown out, while thought has to given on how to transport and wash kitchen towels, microfiber towels and mops to avoid contacting a cleaning wipe material which may still contain virus.
  • Appropriate cleaning & disinfection practices – Clean to remove mass – disinfect the surface- clean to remove disinfecting products.
  • Review surfaces to insure they are either non-porous or recently sealed. BE AWARE some surfaces that appear solid are indeed porous such as marble, granite and cementitious grout (sanded and non-sanded). Most seals are temporary and can be damaged with acid cleaners – therefore if they have not been sealed in the past 2 years, or you see stained grout you should have them resealed. MARBLELIFE can assess and provide permanent grout seals and re-seal marble and granite surfaces. Eliminate places for bacteria and mold too hide so they can be better cleaned and disinfected.

Healthy Building Surface Maintenance

  • Seal Porous Substrates including GROUT, MARBLE, GRANITE, TERRAZZO and CONCRETE
    • Tile Grout Lines – MARBLELIFE COLORSEAL & TILELOK offerings
    • Marble Floors & Counters – MARBLELIFE SEALING
    • Granite Floors & Counters – MARBLELIFE SEALING
    • Terrazzo & Concrete Floors – MARBLELIFE SEALING & Wax removal
  • Eliminate the use of Wax from vinyl and other floors and capture ECONOMIC (30-40%) and health advantages – This one is really a no brainer as the very act of buffing spins floor debris back into the air. When one considers that corona virus such as the common cold, flu and COVID-19 must be inhaled through nose or mount we are in effect re-aerosolizing floor deposits when we buff dry. Buffing and Honing needs to be done wet to capture dust.
    • Reduce manpower
    • Avoid sending floor waste back into the air through periodic buffing a major concern today with corona virus such as common cold, flu or COVID-19 which can survive for days on hard surfaces but MUST BE INHALED TO CAUSE INFECTION, making buffing particularly unattractive.
    • Avoid high waste associated with stripping and re-application
    • Avoid scuffing
    • Shift to anti-mold supporting durable hard coats that will not scuff and do not require periodic stripping or buffing and see a 30-40% total floor cost savings in addition to health benefits
  • Apply permanent ANTI-MOLD treatments in locker-rooms, gyms and public shower facilities to contain mold spore related infections such as Athlete’s foot and Jock-itch
  • Evaluate BUFFER use to avoid Dry-Buffing which can relaunch floor dirt into the air where it can be inhaled. This places all wax management programs under review. All buffer operations should be WET to contain-and-remove dust, dirt and debris. One is a detriment while the other a benefit.
  • Consider UV-C Light Sanitization Systems to better automate sanitization with technology already in use for water purification in aquariums, HVAC systems, cleaner purification and CPAP device cleaners and refrigerator systems.
