Our Approach to Cleaning & Sanitation During Coronavirus

Here at Cascade Building Services, we are literally on the front lines of the battle against Coronavirus in the Portland area. We are actively helping construction companies, banks, manufacturing facilities, and other essential services remain safely open for business in this challenging and complex time.

Be proactive, not reactive

If there was one thing we would tell every business owner in Portland, it would be this:

Don’t wait for a client, customer, or employee to test positive for Coronavirus. Start sanitizing and disinfecting your space now. This proactive approach provides peace of mind to everyone connected to your business.

We start with our own team

Our teams of janitorial service providers and commercial cleaners receive continuing education to make sure they are aware of best practices and CDC guidelines. We are proactively monitoring the health of our team for any signs of infection.

When out on a job, all team members are provided with disinfecting wipes to disinfect anything they touch and for their own personal protection. These wipes are returned to our facility and disposed of.

Our Coronavirus sanitation process

We tailor our Coronavirus sanitization and disinfection process to our clients’ needs. Each type of building and facility requires a unique approach. For example, we use a food-safe disinfectant when sanitizing anywhere food is present, including:

Employee break rooms
Coffee bars
Cafeterias
Lunchrooms

We’re also flexible and can work around your facility’s schedule — our cleaners are available day or night! We use a quick-drying commercial grade disinfectant. Our treatments are fast and your team can get back to work in as little as 30 minutes, even if we disinfect during the day.

Not all surfaces are equal

Our team is especially aware of the need to thoroughly disinfect key touchpoints like:

Doors and door handles
Telephones
Desktops and tabletops
Electrical switches
Communal supplies
Copiers/printers
Railings and handholds
Soap/sanitizer dispensers
Sink handles, taps, and flush levers

Because there are so many surfaces to clean and because these surfaces are often irregularly shaped with nooks and crannies, a simple cleaning just won’t do. Instead, we use a powerful fogging disinfectant that sanitizes even the most difficult surfaces. In fact, Delta Airlines is using the same fogging approach to disinfect their airliners.

We believe it’s especially important to clean high-touch surfaces as often as possible.

Once is not enough — regularly scheduled cleanings are essential

We can’t stress it enough. Disinfecting your commercial space and protecting your team and customers against Coronavirus is an ongoing battle. We are proud to help you fight it.

Based on the size of your building, the size of your team, how many people visit your facility each day, and a number of other factors, we’ll create a custom cleaning schedule to meet your needs.

We do graffiti cleanup, too!

In these challenging times, so many businesses are closing their doors or operating on a more irregular schedule. We’ve heard that there’s been an increase in property crime in the Portland area, including graffiti. As a property owner, you must keep your property free of graffiti.

In addition to Coronavirus cleaning and sanitation, our janitors and contractors can provide graffiti removal and repair of damage caused by vandalism. Call (503) 691-0776 today.
