Improve Floor Mopping with Trolleys and Entire Wet Mopping Systems

Better floor mopping = Smart floor mopping. Know how.

Does your housekeeping staff mop your floors the old-fashioned way?

Switch to a faster, smarter, and more effective way with trolleys and entire wet mopping systems. This blog explains why.

Why use a trolley and entire wet mopping systems for professional floor mopping?

Here are some of the key benefits.

Saves time and effort:
A trolley and an entire wet mopping system contain a specially-designed mop, the cleaning solution, and other cleaning equipment kept together.
This system enables your staff to stay better organized with all the equipment. Room-to-room cleaning becomes faster and requires less effort.
This aspect is especially significant when your staff needs to clean a hotel room quickly to receive a new guest or clean a premise’s during peak hours.
This is a great way to win customer appreciation and improve staff productivity.
More effective cleaning:
Trolleys and entire wet mopping systems easily remove dirt and grime from the floors. Your staff can cover more ground and clean more efficiently.
This system controls the amount of water on the mop. As a result, the floors are neither too wet nor too dry. Also, the floors dry faster. This reduces the risk of slips and falls.
Environmentally friendly:
Traditional mopping methods waste a lot of water. In comparison, this system offers great control over water usage.
Reduced strain on your body:
Trolleys and entire wet mopping systems do away with the strain on the body.
Cost savings:
There is an initial investment. However, the long-term cost savings of using trolleys and entire wet mopping systems are significant.
Your staff uses less water and cleaning solution. Also, this system helps extend the flooring’s life.

Which floor cleaner to use for professional cleaning?

The trolley and an entire wet mopping system are like a washing machine for clothes.

A washing machine surely makes the task of washing clothes easier and more efficient. However, it still needs a perfect detergent for the best results.

Similarly, you need a professional floor cleaner to keep your floor shining bright always.

Attach the mop to the mop holder on the trolley. Securely attach the mop.
Dip the mop into the cleaning solution. Saturate the mop head.
Wring out any excess water from the mop by using the wringer on the mop bucket or the wringer on the trolley. This will prevent the mop from leaving excess water on the floor.
Push the trolley to the area to be cleaned.
Mop the floor in a back-and-forth motion.
Rinse the mop frequently in the cleaning solution.
Empty and clean the bucket after completing the mopping.
Empty the dirty cleaning solution from the bucket and rinse it out thoroughly.
Air dry the mop.
Store it on the trolley.

While the trolley is a great aid to mop the floor effectively, you need a professional-grade cleaning solution.

Conclusion

The effectiveness of your facility’s cleaning and maintenance impacts your staff’s efficiency as well as the customer’s impression of your facility.

A trolley and an entire wet mopping system make daily housekeeping more organized and efficient.

Unlike traditional floor mopping, it doesn’t force your customer to leave their room. On the contrary, it quickens floor mopping.

How Floor Cleaning With Diversey Can Improve Hygiene On Your Premises

This blog explains why Diversey Prosumer’s Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner is a one-stop solution for floor cleaning needs.

Introduction

Diversey Prosumer has a legacy of more than 95 years in assuring hygiene and superior customer experience. We completely understand the importance of maintaining impeccable hygiene standards at commercial premises. This is why we have designed an array of cleaning solutions for diverse needs.

In this blog, we will explain why floor cleaning constitutes an important element of hygiene and how you can spruce it up with our scientifically-formulated Crew range of disinfectants and cleaners.

Hygiene starts with the floors

The significance of floor cleaning is indisputable. Floors easily collect mud, dust, dirt and germs. These elements accumulate in the scratches and joints of hard flooring surfaces. The germicidal build-up is a mix of infection-causing bacteria and allergy-causing dust mites. Moreover, heavy footfall usually makes it difficult to keep the floors sparkling for long, thus necessitating cleaning after short intervals.

Hence, eliminating the build-up of microbial contamination is necessary along with the general daily cleaning. You need a floor cleaner that serves five purposes:

Generic cleaning (Removing stains)
Removing microbial build-up
Efficient cleaning
Retaining the floor look and lustre
Reducing the cleaning time

Perfect floor cleaning with Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner

Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner is a professionally formulated cleaner-cum-disinfectant that you could use to clean and sanitize floors. It is a must-have for all hotels, restaurants, and professional facilities.

Benefits:

Excellent cleansing: Leaves floors spotlessly clean without leaving any etch marks reducing the shine. Eliminates stubborn stains easily and cuts down on your cleaning time and effort.
Fly-repellent: Is composed of ingredients that prevent flies on the cleaned surface.
Germicidal action: Is effective on all types of pathogenic germs and viruses, and kills 99.9% of all pathogenic bacteria.
Tested efficacy: Is scientifically formulated by experts and rigorously tested in various applications.
All-round effectiveness: Works well with all types of water conditions.
Worry-free cleaning: Has a natural pH of 6.0-7.5, making it gentle on the floor, but tough on the stain. Is devoid of any abrasive or bleach and is safe for use on marble and granite.
Cost-effectiveness: Is available in 1 litre and bulk packs and can run for a longer time in comparison to other floor cleaning solutions available in the market.
Refreshing fragrance: Is available in two mesmerising fragrances — Floral and Citrus.

Usage guidelines:

Wet Mopping	Deep Cleaning

	• Manually scrub with a brush or scrubbing machine.

Bonus content: Floor cleaning tips

Tip #1: Use floor mats at the entrance of every space to arrest the dirt and debris.

Tip #2: Sweep off the dirt and dust on the floor first before using Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. This practice prevents your floor cleaning equipment or mop from becoming dirty and avoids re-spreading the dirt.

Tip #3: Mop the floor at least twice every day to reduce the accumulated dirt and keep the floor spotlessly clean. Avoid assuming the floor is clean.

Tip #4: Clean your equipment immediately after cleaning the floor. Clean the mop every time and keep it dry.

Tip #5: Avoid scrubbing spilled stains. It may set the stain instead of removing it. On the contrary, blot the spill using an old cloth or towel. Consequently, use an appropriate spot-cleaning product to remove hard spot stains.

Tip #6: Designate mops for cleaning floors of different areas, and keep them separate after washing them to avoid cross-contamination.

Tip #7: Stick to a regular floor cleaning schedule. Irregular cleaning may result in loss of floor shine and greater cleaning time, and increase the costs for floor maintenance.

To conclude

Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner helps keep spaces looking freshly scrubbed, well-maintained and feeling fragrant.

7 Cleaning Tips To Keep Your Stone Floor Looking New

Expert tips to ensure your stone floor has a mirror-like shine always.

Introduction

Many commercial facilities opt for stone (marble, granite, limestone, and so on) for flooring. Stone is durable, timeless, available in an array of colours and textures, naturally cool, hygienic, and last but not the least affordable. However, it still demands regular cleaning and care to avoid looking dull and pale.

Moreover, floors of commercial establishments receive significant footfall and are prone to get dirty often by food spills, mud, and dust. Luckily, keeping stone floors shiny and clean in a commercial space isn’t a terrible ordeal. All you need to ensure is to follow the tips below to retain the shine for long.

Tip #1] Clean spills as soon as possible

Letting the spill stay for long on a natural stone floor increases the chances of the floor becoming stained. Blot out the spill instead of wiping it to avoid the spill from spreading on the floor.

Tip #2] Use appropriate cleaners

Avoid using cleaners containing abrasives, bleach, or ammonia. They adversely affect the longevity of stone floorings. Opt for gentle cleaning products, such as Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. It is a fully formulated cleaner-cum-disinfectant that kills 99.9% of all pathogenic bacteria and removes stubborn stains. It is safe for use on marble and granite and is very effective in all water conditions. Moreover, it emanates a refreshing fragrance and repels flies.

Tip #3] Protect with a sealant

Natural stones are porous. So, it is necessary to use sealants to keep sand, dirt, and grit away from getting inside the stone through pores. Natural stones differ from each other. Marble and Indian stone often require resealing. It is best to consult professionals to know how frequently your stone floor needs to have the sealant applied often.

Tip #4] Vacuum regularly

Vacuuming is critical because it removes dust that scratches the floor and ruins its protective coating, dulling it and damaging it easily. Additionally, it could trigger allergies in your guests and employees.

Tip #5] Be careful with furniture

Avoid dragging the furniture on the floor. Such practice might cause wear, tear, and scratching of the natural stone floor. It is best to use protective pads on the furniture. Alternatively, lift the furniture when moving it.

Tip #6] Schedule deep cleaning quarterly

Deep cleaning is different from regular cleaning. It involves floor treatment or the use of advanced cleaning equipment to ensure that your stone floor is in great condition.

Tip #7] Polish the floor with Crew High Gloss Marble Polish

Use Crew High Gloss Marble Polish to protect calcareous stone floors, such as marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx. It can also be used on Jura limestone floor and Jaisalmer stone.

This polish offers superior benefits like:

Removes dirt
Reduces water and dirt penetrability
Ensures spotless, sparkling, and shiny floor
Increases contour acuity
Improves the natural appearance of the stone floor
Builds slip resistance
Requires minimal effort

Directions for use:

Take 3 parts of Crew High Gloss Marble Polish and 2 parts of water. Mix them to form a homogeneous mixture.
Apply the homogeneous paste and moisten the affected area.
Use a single disc machine with a red pad to evenly apply the mixture on the affected area for 3-4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, dilute the paste with water. Pick it all up with a wet vacuum cleaner.
Once the floor is dry use a single disc machine with a soft white pad to buff the floor.

Note: If the floor surface is spoiled with scratches, hone the affected area with a Twister extreme red pad for 2 minutes. Vacuum off the excess liquid.

To sum up

With these tips, you can make sure your floor keeps looking shiny as new. Switch to Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner for regular cleaning and Crew High Gloss Marble Polish to polish the floor’s surface.

How To Shield Your Facility Against Infections

Diversey Prosumer has an army to combat the risk of infections in your facility. Read more to know how!

COVID scare may be no more; the infection persists

A news article (dated 10 July 2022) in The Hindu states that despite the peak of the third wave in India in end-January 2022, early July witnessed a bump in infections. As of 26 July, India logged 20,279 new COVID cases.

While the active cases comprise merely 0.33% of the total infections, the reality can’t be ignored — the health risk prevails. And, if this threat wasn’t enough, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced the monkeypox outbreak as an evolving health threat. So far, more than 4,000 cases have been identified in over 50 countries.

What is the best way to prevent infection?

The response is still what was prescribed to us during the pandemic — Usage of face masks in crowded areas and frequent hand hygiene.

“Hand hygiene is the simplest cost-effective intervention for preventing the spread of infections not only in healthcare facilities but also in the community.”

Dr. Henk Bekedam

WHO Representative to India

Furthermore, infection prevention decreases the need to use antibiotics, which in turn lowers antibiotic usage and the development of antimicrobial resistance. Personal hygiene is pivotal for infection prevention.

What does your facility require for infection prevention?

B] Sumabrite Veg & Fruit Wash

How to choose the most effective floor cleaner?

Are you buying the right floor cleaner for your facility? Read on!

Floor cleaning — Going beyond the visual appeal

Of course, it is natural for anyone to want the floor of their spaces to be squeaky clean. Clean floors easily catch any visitor’s eye. To put it the other way, dull, stained, or worn flooring could easily be a sore thumb despite having new furniture, sparkling clean glass windows and doors and other items of décor. But is casting a good impression in front of customers, visitors, and employees the only key reason for floor cleaning?

Safety

If the floors are not properly maintained, they could wear out more quickly, develop surface inconsistencies, and fall apart. Unkempt floors could lead to slips and falls, resulting in injuries and even legal action!

Employee health

Unkempt floors are a haven for germs thanks to the constant foot traffic. A dirty floor is a potential health threat to people occupying the space, especially babies, pets and people with low immunity. You certainly wouldn’t want your unclean floors to be the reason for your employees’ sick leaves.

Employee well-being

Did you know that the cleanliness of the floor impacts the cleanliness of the air in that space? And, it goes without saying that the quality of indoor air is crucial for people’s health and productivity.

Business cost

Floor cleaning is critical to extending the floor’s life. Well-maintained flooring eliminates the need to replace the flooring sooner than necessary.

Tips to keep your floor clean

Mop the floor frequently every day to reduce the accumulated dirt and keep the floor stain-free and shining.
Clean your equipment immediately after completing your floor cleaning exercise. Clean the mop regularly and keep it dry between cleanings.
Use floor mats to arrest the dirt and debris entering your facility through the front door.

While it helps to follow the above guidelines, what truly makes the difference is the choice of the floor cleaner.

The correct floor cleaner makes the difference

A floor cleaner primarily protects your flooring against any damage. However, the market is flooded with a multitude of options. So, if you feel overwhelmed, it’s understandable. This is why we are here to simplify your floor cleaner purchase for you. In this blog, we are going to highlight the main factors you need to consider when choosing a floor cleaner.

The flooring material

Determine the material your floor is made of. Wondering why? Floor cleaners are formulated such that they shine, emulsify and clean the floor without damaging the surface. The choice of the cleaner depends on whether your flooring is oiled wood, bamboo, stone, hardwood or luxury vinyl.

The kind of cleaning

Floor cleaners are of different types based on the usage requirement — germ cleaning, spot-cleaning, deep-cleaning, grease build-up, and so on. Cleaners come in the form of concentrates and ready-to-use formulas. You could dilute the concentrates in a spray bottle and use it.

Brand

When it comes to commercial cleaning, many housekeeping departments prefer to rely on reviews and recommendations to ensure the product’s effectiveness.

Business cost

Floor cleaning is critical to extending the floor’s life. Well-maintained flooring eliminates the need to replace the flooring sooner than necessary.

Human-friendly

This is one criterion that facilities are keen to meet. The floor cleaner must not trigger any allergies or abnormalities in people occupying the space. It is a bonus if the cleaner leaves behind a fresh and uplifting fragrance to soothe the senses.

Affordability

Certainly, this factor can’t be left behind. With businesses recovering from the losses suffered due to the pandemic, businesses are looking for a floor cleaner that is both effective and pocket-friendly.

Who’s the winner then? Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner

Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner is a professional floor cleaner from the house of Diversey’s Prosumer.

Diversey’s Prosumer Solutions guarantee superior cleaning and a pleasant customer experience.

3 Tips To Keep High Traffic Areas In Your Facility Clean

Maintaining cleanliness of high-traffic areas is not as difficult as it seems. Here’s how.

First things first — What is a high-traffic facility?

Simply put, it is that area or facility that has heavy foot traffic and human activity. Typical examples — a gym, café, restaurant, supermarket, shopping mall, workspace, school and entrances and exits of all buildings. And, these facilities experience varying levels of mess and dirt, making them susceptible to infection and germ spread.

Why is cleaning a super challenge for a high-traffic facility?

The singular and obvious reason is the constant movement of people in the facility. Imagine swabbing a large part of your facility’s floor 5 minutes back only to be dirtied by the mud-ridden shoes of your customer.

Will you leave the mud stains, or will you clean the floor ASAP? You know the response.

The Cost of Dirt

Many people consider cleanliness as the most important factor for consumers when evaluating a restaurant or a hotel.

In a study that measured the customer rating of a hotel, it was inferred that the level of cleanliness was 3x more influential in determining the overall customer rating compared to any other metric.

Similarly, gym-goers expect their gym to be germ-free. Restaurants, hotels and gyms aren’t the only high-traffic places where dirt and mess are deterrents. Would you like to step into:

An unkempt clinic?
A dirty supermarket?
An unhygienic and stinking restroom?

The appreciation of cleanliness is universal and perhaps the single-most factor for devaluing your facility’s worth. Let’s face it, no one likes to be in an unclean facility. And, mind you, an unclean floor is just one of the examples of constant mess and dirt in a high-traffic facility.

So, how to tackle this situation? By imbibing the below-mentioned Best Practices into your cleaning programme.

#1] Create a cleaning checklist

Determine what areas need cleanliness and what areas need sanitization. Create a detailed cleaning guidelines sheet that mentions the:

Cleaning products to be used
Frequency of cleaning and sanitization
Manner of cleaning
Staff responsible for cleaning
Tips to avoid cross-contamination

#2] Mat All Your Entries

You could avoid the mess of muddy floors and the burden of repetitive floor cleaning by providing mats at all entryways. This practice will make visitors wipe their feet, so they don’t track mud into the office. And, remember to clean entryway mats frequently, or else the purpose is defeated.

Abrasion from dust is also the major cause of rapid deterioration of shine from floor types, such as marble, kota or vinyl. Arresting the dust at the entrance itself goes a long way towards maintaining these floors’ shine for a long time, thus reducing the cost in the restoration process.

#3] Use the right cleaning products

Use non-toxic, hypoallergenic products that won’t inconvenience people and also serve the purpose.

Floor Cleaning with Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner

This cleaner-cum-disinfectant is fully formulated to clean and sanitize hard surfaces. It kills 99.9% of all pathogenic bacteria and removes stubborn stains. It is safe for use on marble and granite and is very effective in all water conditions.

This floor cleaner is a disinfectant cleaner that is free of bleach and any abrasives. It is available in different scents: Neem, citrus and floral. This product can also be used for hard surface cleaning and disinfection when used as per instructions.

Glass Cleaning with Crew Concentrated Glass and Household Cleaner

This all-in-one cleaning formulation is excellent for all types of glass surfaces — Mirrors, window glasses, glass tabletops, and TV screens. It is a solvent-free formulation with a neutral pH and makes glass cleaning:

⦿ Swift, streak-free and cost-effective in a single action.

⦿ Oil-free and fingerprint-free.

Bathroom Cleaning with Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler

This cleaner is fully formulated to clean all fittings and walls in the bathroom — sink, tub, tiles, and fittings. It works excellent in hard water conditions. This bathroom cleaner with 3 in 1 action:

⦿ Quickly removes oil stains and watermarks.

⦿ Can also be used as a bathroom floor cleaner.

⦿ Prevents scale deposition on walls and fittings of your bathroom.

Using a specialized product for daily bathroom cleaning ensures there is no strong scale build up, bringing down the frequency of periodic maintenance and thus the cost.

Maintenance of Urinals with Crew Urinal Screen

In restrooms of high traffic facilities, strong odors could linger and spread to other areas. Customers will equate an unpleasant-smelling urinal with a lack of cleanliness. Hence, it is critical to install urinal screens to provide a pleasant, clean scent.

Crew Urinal Screen is designed specially to deodorize urinals, ducking the need to use an external fragrance system. It provides a controlled and consistent fragrance release, using proprietary polymerized fragrances and a polymer-based delivery system. It is made with recyclable EVA polymer and hence it is safe to use and dispose of.

To Conclude

At the end of the day, it is also important to nurture a mindset of cleanliness in your facility. Set up cleaning and hand-sanitizing stations in high-traffic areas. Have sign boards and posters to remind people about healthy habits. Hold your staff accountable for cleaning.

This culture along with following the above-stated guidelines will help you make cleaning hassle-free and more productive for your high-traffic facility, which in turn will result in a better maintained and cost-saving facility.

And, when it comes to effective, cost-effective, hassle-free, 100% safe, and swift housekeeping, trust Diversey Prosumer’s Crew Housekeeping portfolio.

8 Floor Cleaning Mistakes You Must Avoid

A look at the common floor cleaning mistakes practices and how to avoid them.

The ABCs of Floor Cleaning

Floor cleaning is more than merely mopping with soapy water whenever the floor looks dirty. Correct floor maintenance not only goes a long way in keeping a professional image of the space, but it also avoids concerns of hygiene and the risk of slips, trips and fall injuries.

This blog presents 8 common floor cleaning mistakes that you must avoid at all costs.

Mistake #1: Failing to sweep the Floors before cleaning

Why avoid it?

The floor cleaning machines or mop could become dirty and re-spread the dirt, resulting in repetitive cleaning.

What is the corrective action?

To avoid these floor cleaning mistakes, sweep off the dirt and dust on the floor before using a floor cleaning solution.

Mistake #2: Using the incorrect type and amount of chemicals

Why avoid it?

Incorrect chemical quantities and inappropriate chemicals may end up damaging the floor.

What is the corrective action?

To avoid such floor cleaning mistakes, you must:

Avoid any ammonia-based products for floor cleaning. Ammonia can discolour, dull and deteriorate the floor finish.
Avoid vinegar-based products, as their acidity can damage the flooring veneer.
Educate the cleaning staff about the usage of cleaning solutions for the concerned floor type. Know the composition of your floor so you know the right solution to use for cleaning. If unsure of the composition, use a neutral cleaner.
Instruct them to read product labels before using the chemicals. Always use the product in the right dilution. Over-diluted product will lead to improper cleaning whereas under-diluted product will lead to sticky floors.
Use a reliable floor cleaner, such as Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. It is formulated to clean and sanitize floor types, including vinyl, marble and granite. It is effective in all water conditions.

Mistake #3: Scrubbing spilt stains

Why avoid it?

Scrubbing spilt stains may help to set the stain instead of removing it.

What is the corrective action?

In order to correct such floor cleaning mistakes, you should:

Blot the spill using an old cloth or towel.
Use an appropriate spot cleaning product to remove hard spot stains, such as ink, rust, chewing gums or scuff marks.

Use Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner after spot cleaning. It removes stubborn stains and has zero abrasives or bleach.

Mistake #4: Assuming the Floor is clean

Why avoid it?

Floors are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. So, simply relying on eyes to determine if the floors are clean is not the right way to go.

What is the corrective action?

To correct such floor cleaning mistakes, you should:

Clean the floors thoroughly with a disinfectant. It is best to use a cleaner-cum-disinfectant, such as Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. It is formulated to kill 99.99% pathogenic bacteria. Available in 3 different scents — Floral, citrus, and neem — it leaves behind a refreshing fragrance after every use.
Determine the frequency of cleaning based on the daily footfall intensity. Avoid aggressive cleaning, or else the cleaning action will damage the floor.

Mistake #5: Considering every cleaner as a Disinfectant

Why avoid it?

Not all cleaners are disinfectants. This ignorance could lead to the floors not being disinfected during or after cleaning, thus increasing the susceptibility to infection.

What is the corrective action?

These floor cleaning mistakes can be avoided by:

Reading the product labels.
Ensure using a disinfectant spray after floor cleaning, if the floor cleaner does not have disinfectant claims.

To clean and disinfect the floor in a single go, opt for a cleaner-cum-disinfectant, such as Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner.

Mistake #6: Using only 1 mop for cleaning all areas

Why avoid it?

A singular mop used in restrooms and hallways could cause cross-contamination.

What is the corrective action?

Designate mops for cleaning floors of different areas and keep them separate after washing them.

Mistake #7: Not cleaning the equipment

Why avoid it?

Unclean mops and equipment could spread germs and dirt.

What is the corrective action?

Wash cleaning cloths, mop heads and scrubbing brushes with disinfectants before reuse. This way you can prevent such floor cleaning mistakes.

Mistake #8: Failing to follow a regular cleaning schedule

Why avoid it?

Irregular cleaning may lead to loss of floor lustre and amp up the costs for floor maintenance. Moreover, stains may be harder to remove if present for a longer duration.

What is the corrective action?

Clean floors regularly with Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner and examine them for potential problems.

To Conclude

Committing floor cleaning mistakes could end up costing you in the long run. Save your time, effort, and resources by relying on the right floor cleaner.

Having the right cleaning chemical and the knowledge of when to use them will help you with quick, effective, and safe floor cleaning. And, when it comes to effective, cost-effective, hassle-free, 100% safe, and swift floor cleaning, trust Diversey Prosumer’s Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner.

By Diversey February 3, 2022

Are You Choosing The Right Disinfectant To Fight COVID?

Choosing Right Disinfectant To Fight COVID is important. Plain disinfection isn’t enough. Effective disinfection is the need of the hour. Read on!

Being Coronavirus-free is not an immediate reality

The consequent rapid surge of COVID-19 infections, partially due to the Omicron variant has once again cast a shadow of disbelief, uncertainty, and fear amongst people. While this new variant is popularly considered to be less virulent compared to the previous strains of the virus, it is 2.7 to 3.7 times more transmissible than the Delta variant among the vaccinated individuals.

What does this news leave us with?

A realization that COVID-19 is here to stay for some time, and we need to ensure maximum precautions, which includes effective sanitation and disinfection.

How do you go on with Choosing Right Disinfectant To Fight COVID?

Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has laid down the considerations for choosing an effective disinfectant. It must:

Have a wide antimicrobial spectrum
Should work as a disinfectant in diluted state or ready to use state
Be fast-acting
Be active in the presence of organic matter (blood, sputum, feces).
Be non-toxic to the user and environment
Not corrode items and surfaces.
