Businesses in the Fredericksburg region need to give cleanings more consideration

The majority of businesses employ daily porters or overnight cleaning services, but with the spread of dangerous diseases, everyone should be thinking Deeper Cleaning Services and Health Safety.

Some fun facts to consider about germs and bacteria include the following:

  • As bacteria, germs are so tiny that they can only be observed under a microscope.
  • In contrast to popular assumption, germs are not a different category of "bug". Instead, the word "germ" refers to a broad category of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites like protozoans and helminths. The terms "germs" and "bacteria," for example, refer to the same thing, so saying "germs and bacteria" is incorrect.
  • Literally wherever you look, there are germs to be discovered, including the air, water, food, and surfaces. They also coexist with and inside plants, animals, and people.
  • The human body is host to 1,000 different types of germs. While some of these microbes help us stay healthy, others might become harmful if they multiply at an unsafe rate.
  • On our elbows and fingertips, there are anywhere from 2 to 10 million germ units at any given time! And these figures frequently increase by two or three after certain actions, such as using the restroom... You should also be aware that if we don't wash them off or kill them with personal disinfectants, these germs can remain on the skin for up to three hours.
  • And speaking of toilets, they are not even the surfaces in a home that are the most contaminated. Cutting boards, remote controls, mobile phones, keyboards, and computers all have many more germs per inch than toilet seats.
  • In a single day, one bacterium can expand into more than 8 million germs. They spread that quickly.

Locals are worried about staying healthy and are aware of all the potential hiding places for germs. 

What places do you frequent every day? You might travel to the Food Lion grocery store, the office, restaurants, the Planet Fitness gym in Corners Corner, the Paragon movie theater, schools, or the Central Park mall.  Infectious illnesses may thrive in these densely populated areas.
