Depending on the type of business and level of need, there are three levels of “clean” to be aware of when it comes to keeping your workspace safe and healthy: CLEAN, SANITIZE, and DISINFECT. A simple rule of thumb to keep in mind: CLEANING: Remove clutter, dust, crumbs, and other detritus.
Most cleaning chemicals are alkaline (basic) because these are the types of solutions that are good for cleaning dirt stains, greases, oils, and other organics. On the other side of the pH scale, acids are more effective when working on minerals like rust spots and calcium buildup.
