[GUIDE] Reasoned disinfection

This maintenance technique allows you to take advantage of a quality cleaning solution while respecting the occupants and the environment. Here's a complete guide to this eco-responsible cleaning technique promoted by Onet.

Cleaning, disinfection and biocleaning 

Before describing our solutions in detail, let's take a look at what cleaning, disinfection and biocleaning are, and why they complement each other.

Three complementary maintenance techniques

Cleaning involves the removal of residues to achieve a visually impeccable cleanliness. 80-99% of germs are eliminated by this technique. It's the first step before disinfecting a room. It is essential for good disinfection.

Disinfectionmicroorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.. The composition of the product will determine its use:

  • Bactericide ;
  • Virucide ;
  • Fungicide, etc.

Disinfection eliminates 99.999% of germs. This operation must be repeated, as its action on bacteria and viruses does not exceed two hours.

Lastly, bionetting involves combining visual cleanliness (cleaning) and microbiological cleanliness (disinfection).

New uses for the Sinner circle

In the late 50s, German scientist Sinner published a theory that included 4 independent factors that have a direct influence on the effectiveness of cleaning:

  • Mechanical action ;
  • Chemical action;
  • Temperature;
  • Action time.

It is possible to remove one of these factors, but it must be compensated for by one of the other factors to benefit from effective maintenance. 

Today, thanks to a number of innovations chemical action can be completely eliminated. This is particularly true of equipment such as scrubber-driers and steam cleaners. Temperature and mechanical action are the two main factors that ensure product-free cleaning that meets your expectations.

Disinfectant: use sparingly

Disinfectants often have harmful effects on health, the environment and so on. Today, it is possible to replace these products as we shall see below with Onet solutions.

Impact on health

The regular use of chemicals has an effect on health. Skin irritation, lung irritation, asthmaand other illnesses develop more easily if no protection is used when using disinfectants.

Eco-responsible biocleaning is the solution for limiting the use of chemicals without compromising the quality of cleaning and disinfection.

Impact on the development of bacterial resistance

BHRe or BMR for resistant bacteria are a real concern. These are bacteria which, over time, have developed great resistance to over-used disinfectants. Increased use of these products will reduce their effectiveness. of these products.

Overexposure of bacteria to a product leads to a genetic mutation of the bacteria, which become more and more resistant to the products that are supposed to eliminate them. With an Onet biocleaning solution, customers choose a more effective method that guarantees cleanliness of the premises.

 

Impact on the environment

Industrial disinfectants end up in wastewater. They will therefore pollute water for a long timebecause they are difficult to eliminate. Discharges of these products are sometimes bioaccumulative in the sludge and residual water of wastewater treatment plants. These biocidal residues then come into contact with the organic matter present in the soil, water and air. This improper elimination of chemical residues is toxiceven carcinogenic for living organisms.

Our solutions for rational disinfection

Prevention is therefore essential to limit these risks. More natural and increasingly effective techniques are recommended. At Onet, we can offer you several solutions for implementing reasoned disinfection.

Scrubbers and microfibres for floors

Floors are highly contaminated surfaces. Maintenance is therefore essential to limit the risk of contamination. It's not always necessary to use a chemical product, which is why we propose to use a technique that is primarily mechanical and not chemical, thanks to our scrubber-driers and microfibers.

Our technique consists of moistening the floor and using a microfiber with abrasive and capillary-retention properties to remove all dirt. According to several experiments, the results are identical when compared to the use of detergent products. With microfibre, there's no need to use chemicals, and water consumption is reduced.

The discs of a scrubber-dryer ensure effortless mechanical action for optimal cleaning.

Using steam

Steam devices can also be used to surfaces such as buttons, handles and other contact areas. contact areas. The heat produced by the steam will ensure total disinfection without the use of chemicals.

Onet's Bionettoyage disinfection process guarantees clean, disinfected premises with no repercussions on occupants' healthand the environment, while also limiting bacterial resistance.
