What are bacteria?
Bacteria are single-celled, microscopic organisms that exist in different forms (e.g. spheres, rods, spirals).
Despite stereotypes, bacteria can be:
- Whether they are beneficial: They may help digestion (e.g. intestinal flora) or nitrogen fixation in the soil.
- Pathogens: Some bacteria can cause diseases such as pneumonia, infections or food poisoning.
How do they get into our bodies?
Bacteria multiply rapidly by division and need a suitable environment (e.g. nutrients, temperature) to survive.
Bacteria can spread in different ways:
- Direct contact: If an infected person has skin-to-skin contact with another person, the bacteria can be transferred.
- Droplet infection: When coughing, sneezing or talking, bacteria can be released into the air and infect others.
- Infected surfaces: If someone touches a surface contaminated with bacteria and then touches their face, they can become infected.
- Food, drinks: If the bacteria are present in food or drink, they can be spread by ingestion.
How do we defend against them?
- Hand washing: Regular handwashing with soap and water helps to remove bacteria that can enter the body from hand to mouth or from infected surfaces.
- Disinfection: Use disinfectants to kill bacteria, especially on frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, tables, telephones and bathrooms. As cleaners, we use them regularly in our work.
- Hygienic meals: Keep dining areas clean, wash food thoroughly and ensure it is stored at the right temperature.
- Regular cleaning: Thorough cleaning helps remove bacteria from surfaces and equipment. If you don't have time, hire professional cleaners to do the job for you.
Why is it good to have a cleaning company do the work?
- Expertise and efficiency: Cleaning company professionals are well versed in the disinfectants and cleaning methods needed to control various bacteria. Professional cleaning is faster and more thorough than trying to do it yourself.
- Regularity: The cleaning company will ensure that common areas and surfaces are cleaned regularly and thoroughly to minimise the build-up of bacteria.
- Saving time: Residents do not have to clean the common areas themselves, leaving more time for other tasks, while being assured that the premises remain clean and germ-free.
- Maintaining hygiene: Cleaning companies pay particular attention to disinfection, reducing the chance of spreading bacteria and other pathogens.
