Biofilms are microorganisms that form in your home or business on any surface such as floors, kitchen counters, bathtubs, toothbrushes, and so much more. These microorganisms secrete a slime-like matter that provides structural support for the biofilm that could be difficult to remove at the first attempt.
Mature biofilms can grow several inches thick inside of areas not always visible such as pipes and air conditioning units. It is difficult to detect biofilms with the naked eye regardless of where they are located.
Housekeeping cleaning your home, office, or hotel room, can wipe a surface once and believe that it is “clean enough” without removing the biofilm.
Instead of just wondering, “Is it clean?” prove it with our “Is it Clean?" Kit which includes a small ultra-violet light and a paste.
Even before Covid, we conducted cleaning inspections using a similar kit. During the day, we marked the areas gently throughout the building. The following day, we returned and shined the UV light in restrooms, counters and many other surfaces. It was astonishing to see biofilms when the light shined; we discovered that it was difficult to remove bacteria inside of the biofilm and that it needs several attempts before a surface is actually clean.
Surface and Hand Cleaning
1. Place a small amount of the paste on a surface area to be cleaned.
2. To see whether the biofilm has been cleaned and removed properly, shine the light on the area; traces of uncleaned sections will show up under the UV light.
3. This was our daily cleaning inspection weapon and it can be used in so many indoor cleaning programs such as utensils or use the UV light alone in the restrooms to see large swirl marks glow in the dark and evidence of how the cleaning people sometimes use one dirty rag full of bacteria to clean all surfaces.
4. Put a little paste on the children’s hands and shine the light to see if they washed very well. Minimizing biofilms begins with good hand washing.
