The 5-step enhanced cleaning process
We’ll walk you through 5 steps to enhanced cleaning that all staff must agree to follow. This is based on LeBlanc’s cleaning handbook, which was developed in partnership with experts.
Step 1: Prepare
Proper preparation can help you and your team clean more efficiently and more safely. Make sure to:
Step 2: Clean
Cleaning is when you remove dust and dirt from surfaces, such as floors and countertops. Make sure to:
Step 3: Sanitize
Sanitizing is when you use chemicals to reduce the number of bacteria on surfaces such as doorknobs, seatbelt and TV remotes. Make sure to:
Step 4: Check
You’ll have access to custom cleaning checklists based on your listing details. Make sure to:
Step 5: Reset
To help prevent cross-contamination, it's important to finish cleaning and sanitizing your car or a room before seeing the next client. Make sure to:
- void the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.
- Outbreaks have been reported in restaurants, choir practices, fitness classes, nightclubs, offices and places of worship where people have gathered, often in crowded indoor settings where they talk loudly, shout, breathe heavily or sing.
- The risks of getting COVID-19 are higher in crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces where infected people spend long periods of time together in close proximity. These environments are where the virus appears to spreads by respiratory droplets or aerosols more efficiently, so taking precautions is even more important.
- Meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in.
- For more information on how to hold events like family gatherings, children’s football games and family occasions, read our Q&A on small public gatherings.
- Avoid crowded or indoor settings but if you can’t, then take precautions:
- Open a window. Increase the amount of ‘natural ventilation’ when indoors.
- WHO has published Q&As on ventilation and air conditioning for both the general public and people who manage public spaces and buildings.
- Wear a mask (see above for more details).
The basics of good hygiene
- Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. This eliminates germs including viruses that may be on your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
- Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately into a closed bin and wash your hands. By following good ‘respiratory hygiene’, you protect the people around you from viruses, which cause colds, flu and COVID-19.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently especially those which are regularly touched, such as door handles, faucets and phone screens.
What to do if you feel unwell?
- Know the full range of symptoms of COVID-19. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Other symptoms that are less common and may affect some patients include loss of taste or smell, aches and pains, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, red eyes, diarrhea, or a skin rash.
- Stay home and self-isolate even if you have minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Call your health care provider or hotline for advice. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house or have someone near you, wear a medical mask to avoid infecting others.
- If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Call by telephone first, if you can and follow the directions of your local health authority.
- Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Local and national authorities and public health units are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves
Covid-19 Prevention
- We make sure workplaces are clean and hygienic
- Disinfectant desks and tables and objects, telephones, and keyboards regularly
- Covid-19 employee and client surface cross contamination are one of the main ways that COVID-19 spreads
- We provided Mask, Hand Sanitizer, Uniforms, Gloves, Sanitizer Spray, Sanitizer wipes, Thermometers, and Blood Pressure Monitors all in order to prevent and reduce the spread of Covid-19.
Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by employees, and clients
- Provide sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around the office and distribute hand-sanitizers to staff in the field. Refill dispensers are regularly.
- Display signs promoting hand-washing. Signs maybe available with doctors and on healthcare Website
- Gave meetings and trainings on necessary safety measures
- Make sure that staff, and clients have access to places where they can wash their hands with soap and water, home, office, and community
Foster good respiratory hygiene in the office which helps prevent the spread

- In all in-person visits, use face masks. Hygienically dispose of used facial tissue
- Advise employees and clients to consult national and state travel advice before going on business trips
- Staff are to avoid visits if either staff or client has a fever (99.14 or more) needs to stay at
- home
- Stay at home if they have even mild symptoms of COVID-19
- This time off is considered sick leave
Managing Covid Risk During Meetings/Events
- The risk is too high to have frequent meetings. Avoid in-person meetings and events. Continue to use Zoom
- If face-to-face is necessary scale-down the number
- Verify in advance the places, time, and reservations
- Provide hand sanitizer, surgical masks face shields and maintaining social distancing or six feet or greater apart
- Advise participants in advance that to Do Not attend with symptoms
- Require all organizers, participants, caterers, and visitors at the event provide contact details: mobile telephone number, email, and address where they are staying. Inform attendees y that their details will be shared with local public health authorities if any participant becomes ill with a suspected infectious disease If not agreed upon, restrict attendance
- Create an agreeable response plan as the result of a participant becomes ill with symptoms of COVID-19 (dry cough, fever, malaise)
- Participant Agreement Plan
- Isolate anyone having symptoms in a safe room
- Have a safe health facility transportation plan
- Establish a known protocol for any participants testing Covid-19 during or after event
- Partner with healthcare provider or health department in advance
Prevention During Meeting /Events
- Provide information or a briefing, preferably both orally and in writing, on COVID -19 and the measures that organizers are taking to make this event safe for participants.
- Build trust. Use ice breakers

- Encourage participants to cover their face with the bend of their elbow or a tissue if they cough or sneeze. Supply tissues and closed bins to dispose of them in
- Provide contact details or a health hotline number that participants can call for advice or to give information
- Display dispensers of alcohol-based hand rub prominently around the venue
- Make room well ventilated
- Thank all participants for their cooperation with the provisions in place
Prevention After Event
- Retain the names and contact details of all participants for at least one month. This will help public health authorities trace people who may have been exposed to COVID -19 if one or more participants become ill shortly after the event.
- Disclose any suspected COVID -19 case to the group. Advise all participants to monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days.
- If they develop even a mild cough or low-grade fever 99 degrees should stay at home and self-isolate. This These individuals should contact their own health care providers.
- Thank all the participants for their cooperation with the provisions in place.
Prevention Before traveling

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care earlyTell your health care provider if you have traveled in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or if you have been in close contact with someone with who has traveled from China and has respiratory symptoms.
Why? Whenever you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing it’s important to seek medical attention promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Respiratory symptoms with fever can have a range of causes, and depending on your personal travel history and circumstances, 2019-nCoV could be one of them.
