Floors and other surfaces

Surfaces in contact with hands and food are powerful vectors for cross-contamination because they collect all types of germs. Floors and carpets are also possible vectors in that they are in contact with shoes, a source of external contamination (spit, excrement...)

An office desk is said to contain 3 249 bacteria per cm² versus 8 bacteria per cm² on a toilet seat.

Our tips:

  • Remove your shoes on returning home
  • If you have small children, clean floors with a disinfectant product
  • To avoid the development of moulds and fungi, clean and disinfect tiled surfaces likely to be damp
  • If you use a bucket and floor cloth, disinfect them after each use and put them away dry
  • Do not use bleach-based products on carpets, wooden surfaces or small poorly-ventilated areas (risk of discolouration and irritant odour)
