Cleaning Power: How Effective Cleaning Reduces Illness

An effective cleaning program does more than make a space look good—it plays a vital role in protecting public health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), schools and workplaces that follow proper cleaning and disinfection protocols experience a significant reduction in the spread of infectious diseases.

This isn’t just theory—it’s proven. Germs and viruses can remain on surfaces for hours or even days, turning desks, door handles, light switches, and shared equipment into potential hotspots for transmission. Without consistent, thorough cleaning, these invisible threats can lead to outbreaks of illness, increased absenteeism, and reduced productivity.

In schools, hygiene directly affects student attendance and learning outcomes. In offices and commercial settings, it contributes to a healthier workforce and more reliable operations. High-traffic areas, where bacteria multiply quickly, require regular cleaning and disinfection to minimize exposure risks.

At United Janitorial Services, we take this responsibility seriously. Our cleaning protocols align with CDC guidelines and are tailored to meet the specific needs of every space we serve—be it classrooms, gyms, healthcare offices, or corporate environments. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, trained personnel, and detailed procedures to ensure your space is not only clean—but genuinely safer for everyone.

Investing in professional cleaning isn’t just about appearances—it’s about prevention. Clean spaces demonstrate that you care about your people’s health and well-being. Let us help you create a healthier environment—because a clean space is a safer space.
