What is facility hygiene?

Facility hygiene refers to the cleanliness and maintenance of a building or facility. This includes office cleaning, bathroom maintenance, and overall upkeep of the property. Facility managers are responsible for ensuring that a facility is clean, safe, and well-maintained. Proper facility hygiene is essential for several reasons. 

A clean facility can help prevent the spread of illness and disease and improve the overall appearance of the building. It can also help create a safer work environment, as cluttered or dirty facilities can pose hazards to employees and visitors. In addition, proper facility hygiene can help extend the life of the building and its furnishings, as regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent wear and tear. 

Overall, facility hygiene is an essential aspect of facility management and is crucial for the health, safety, and satisfaction of those who use the facility.

Tips for Better Facility Hygiene? 

1. Establish a regular cleaning schedule: Set aside time each day, week, or month to thoroughly clean and maintain the facility. This could include tasks such as dusting, mopping, and sanitising surfaces.
2. Use high-quality cleaning products: Invest in good-quality cleaning products specifically designed for the type of surfaces and materials in your facility.
3. Train employees on proper cleaning techniques: Make sure that all employees, whether in-house or contracted cleaning staff, know how to clean and maintain the facility properly. This includes properly using cleaning equipment and products and disposing of waste and trash.
4. Encourage good personal hygiene: Encourage employees and visitors to practice good personal hygiene, such as washing their hands frequently and covering their mouths and noses when sneezing or coughing.
5. Regularly inspect and maintain equipment: Make sure to check and maintain all equipment, including HVAC systems, to ensure that they are functioning correctly and not contributing to poor indoor air quality or other health hazards.
