Cleaning Products
Safe Work Australia guidelines state that for routine workplace cleaning in a non-healthcare workplace, physical cleaning with water and detergent is sufficient. However, Honestally requires high touch areas to be disinfected as well.
In order to disinfect a hard surface Safe Work Australia and the TGA state that disinfectants containing ≥ 70% alcohol, quaternary ammonium compounds (such as benzalkonium chloride) or diluted household bleach (including products containing sodium hypochlorite) are suitable for use.
Disinfectants should only be used once the surface is fully cleaned. These chemicals must be used following the instructions on the packaging to be safe and effective.
