It’s HOW Dirty?

Shockingly, many surfaces within office environments have traces of fecal matter – from countertops and handrails to door handles and light switches.  People can be very lax with washing hands after restroom breaks, and even when hands are ‘washed’, oftentimes no soap is used. 

The American Society of Microbiology speaks of the contamination overload of objects we use daily, and Seattle office settings are no exception.  Clinical studies indicate some of the dirtiest areas in a typical office include:

• microwave door handles – if you could see the bacteria there, you wouldn’t touch it

• keyboards/carpeting – can harbor far more bacteria/square inch than a typical toilet seat

• drinking-fountain/vending-machine buttons – a haven for the rotavirus

• upholstered furniture – acts as ‘big sponges’ for absorbing microbes

• elevator buttons – bacterial level 40 times higher than a public toilet – laden with Staphylococcus and Streptococcus microbes 

• bathroom door handles – a top contender for bacterial and virus contamination

• office desk – often more germ-ridden than an office toilet

Our COVID-19/Corona Virus Safety-Prevention Plan

Preventing the spread of powerful viruses has to do with utilizing preventive approaches and immediate action.  As a commercial cleaning company, PMS has taken proactive steps to combat COVID-19, since early March 2020.  At PMS, we continue to help our Orange County clients navigate through their enhanced cleaning requirements.  

Because our company is customer-centric, we took the initiative of waiving all contract terms as we partnered with facility and property managers to help them meet their unique needs.  When shutdowns were implemented, we suspended programs, in full!

In light of all this, PMS redesigned scopes of work for partial openings and offered effective recommendations for enhanced cleaning specifications for essential businesses which, desperately, needed to protect their workforce while operating at full capacity.

Our buying power positions us at the front of the supply chain.  This means your facility or business can be assured of having every product or PPE supply you need, at a moment’s notice.

Emergency COVID-Disinfecting Services are available in the event of an exposure.  We provide emergency interventions which include Electrostatic Spraying utilized by highly-trained specialists.  Our Special Teams Division includes a fleet of 25 vans and 50 specialized techs who are ready to deploy for same-day emergencies.

Staff Safety Training includes monthly safety check-ins as well as quarterly documented safety training meetings with all staff!  Always on the side of caution, PMS implements fortified training and screening protocols in response to the pandemic.

Daily, individual team members complete a required COVID-Symptom Questionnaire in addition to a host of other proactive measures to maximize the safety of our team as well as the safety of every Orange County client.

PMS is continually readied to conduct employee Contact Tracing in the event of an exposure.  If positive results are generated by an employee who has undergone Rapid Covid Antigen Testing, that employee would remain in a mandatory 2-week quarantine – with full pay and benefits!  And, of course, any relevant clients would be notified.  Our backup staff is available in the event that one or more team members must be covered.
