Contactlessness is a new trend. What does it mean for cleaning

Due to the threat of COVID-19 virus infection, social distance and minimizing contact with surfaces in public places have become the norm in the last couple of months. According to a study by a British consulting agency, 80% of respondents will make the most of contactless technology to ensure personal hygiene.

Thus, contactlessness is becoming a priority for many areas of business, retail, transport, and logistics. Cleaning of real estate around the world is also changing. In addition to increasing the number of cleanings and disinfection, as well as toughening the rules and regulations for cleaning, contactless technologies are also being introduced here.

Touch taps in toilets are gaining popularity, in addition to the fact that there is no need to turn the valves, such devices also save water consumption. In office bathrooms, touch soap dispensers also began to be used more often, the same technology, and the same cost savings.

One American company came up with an overlay for door handles, which allows you to open the door with your elbow, thereby avoiding touching with your hands. As you know, pens are one of the most common carriers of bacteria, since most people in the building touch them, and it’s naturally not possible to disinfect the pen after each person.

Most likely, the number of such developments on the market will increase, since the threat of virus infection remains quite high, despite the weakening of quarantine measures. SHEN does its best at its facilities to ensure the safety of people in the building, but hand disinfection and social distance are still important ways to reduce the risk of infection.
