Since the start of the COVID19 crisis, even rigorous cleaning has been proven insufficient to hold back the spread of novel coronavirus. Disinfecting is confirmed as essential to making surfaces hygienically safe. As the hospitality industry reopens, understanding cleaning versus disinfecting is important if it is to be done safely and the COVID19 crisis is to end.

For the tourism and hospitality industries, the COVID19 crisis has had a severely damaging impact. But while business has been brought to a virtual halt, hoteliers are still hosting some residents or now welcoming patients, making effective disinfecting critical.

‘Stay Home’ and social distancing measures have ensured the entertainment industry is another casualty of the COVID19 crisis. Venues have been closed and events have been cancelled, dramatically impacting the industry’s revenues and jobs. Brighter days do loom over the horizon, but to be fully ready for the return to normal operations, effective disinfecting is a must.

The transportation industry is used to dealing with challenges, but the COVID19 pandemic has created their most severe challenge. For airlines, buses, railways and metro services, ensuring that passengers and staff are safe from the pathogen is crucial – that means more effective disinfecting and sanitizing measures.

For any restaurant, diner or bar, one of the most significant concerns is cleanliness and hygiene. But in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, disinfecting surfaces surfaces has become even more crucial. And while more vigorous cleaning may seem the best response, this can cause further problems.
