FAQs

What is the current government advice concerning cleaning? 
Regular cleaning plays a vital role in limiting the transmission of COVID-19.  The government is advising that an Increase the frequency of cleaning is essential, using standard cleaning products, paying attention to all surfaces but especially ones that are touched frequently, such as door handles, light switches, work surfaces, remote controls and electronic devices.  As a minimum, frequently touched surfaces should be wiped down twice a day.  Cleaning should be more frequent depending on the number of people using the space, whether they are entering and exiting the setting and access to handwashing and hand-sanitising facilities. Cleaning of frequently touched surfaces is particularly important in bathrooms and kitchens.
