Disinfection & hygiene measures in the fight against Corona

The corona pandemic is presenting our society with the greatest challenge since the end of the Second World War. Hofeditz offers tailor-made disinfection solutions for diverse and currently acute areas of application, which should make it easier for our society to return to a (partial) normality.

Regular & reliable disinfection for more safety

These range from vehicle-related disinfection of large indoor and outdoor areas (train stations, squares, service gates, shopping centers, exhibition halls), to the disinfection of objects or defined areas (shopping trolleys, trams, bus stops, foyers) to the manual disinfection of hand contact surfaces (Railings, escalators, entrance doors of public buildings). Important information can be found on this page. Contact us. We would be happy to clarify any questions and provide you with an individual solution for your current specific requirements.

Are you interested in our disinfection services? You can rely on our meticulous preparation and planning, because careful and professional implementation of disinfection measures and cleaning operations is a matter of course. The necessary disinfection work is defined depending on the situation and requirements and the operation is coordinated and carried out with the responsible institutions (health authorities, fire brigade, police, etc.) depending on the situation.

Normally, the preparations for a mission follow the following scheme:

  • Consideration of existing information regarding the need for disinfection
  • Inspection of the place of use, the places of use or the route of the cleaning operation
  • Analysis: Verification of available information by comparing it with your own surveys and assessments
  • Creation of a rough concept based on all information
  • Coordination of planning and an optimal approach with clients
  • Coordination with the responsible health authority (optional)
  • Coordination with the responsible civil protection authorities (optional)
  • Safe implementation of the cleaning operation & of disinfection
  • Instruction documentation

The cleaning and disinfection measures are carried out depending on the place of use; Complexity, scope and requirements with the support of the police, fire brigade or other experts. Necessary traffic safety measures are precisely coordinated, planned and implemented in advance with the responsible institutions.
All necessary information about our cleaning processes, the disinfectants used and the concept are documented in detail and are part of the order. Hofeditz is accompanied by an expert disinfector in the development of the disinfection concepts.

Disinfection & corona viruses: Current situation & the search for solutions

We are currently facing enormous challenges. We have to change many of our traditional ways and customs in order to lift or relativize the social isolation measures currently in place and thus be able to return to a partially normalized life. This re-normalization is the basis for our country's continued economic existence and social integrity.
This will most likely make our living together more difficult. In any case, our living together will be different than before Corona - it will only be possible under certain conditions if we don't want "social distancing" to become a habit.

The unalterable measures include personal protective measures that each and every one of us must take (wearing protective masks, gloves, protective clothing if necessary) but also the regular disinfection of public spaces in which, despite everything, we want or have to meet regularly in the future.

These places can be local and long-distance means of transport, the associated train stations or airports as well as bus or tram stops, trade fair buildings, shopping centers, schools and universities, car dealerships, public squares and streets, company canteens, open-plan offices, town halls, company buildings, theaters, Cinemas, hotels, restaurants and much more. Hofeditz offer you the following solutions for these cleaning operations and disinfection measures in public spaces:

  •  Disinfection of halls & large building structures with mobile nebulizers that spread antiviral aerosols over a large area: Ideal for  heavily frequented public infrastructure.
  • Disinfection of objects or defined areas such as shopping trolleys, trams or bus stops using personal cold fogging devices, with which an antiviral disinfectant is also applied to complicated surfaces and viruses and kills germs.
  • Manual disinfection of hand contact surfaces e.g. on escalator railings, safety rails and railings, entrance doors of public buildings, school class and lecture hall tables, etc. depending on the level of requirements in a one-, two- or three-stage process analogous to the common standards the hospital, gastro or epidemiologically indicated hygiene (norovirus infestation day care center, etc.).

All three building blocks together form the basis of a hygiene concept that helps to control the COVID-19 epidemic as the current measures are relaxed, so that a partial normalization of our social life is possible again. Act now and prepare measures means preparing our country more quickly for the time after the current isolation measures have been relaxed.

Contact us: If you recognize a current need and have a specific interest in our disinfection services, we are there for you as a currently efficient contact person. It is helpful if you provide as precise a description as possible of the disinfection  prepare the designated area. For further planning and possible allocation of resources, we also ask you to indicate the desired interval of the disinfection operations on site (e.g. daily, weekly).

If you have any questions, we are happy to be your contact. Make an appointment for a meeting or an appointment for an open online consultation.

Disinfection | information

Decided against SARS-CoV-2 – Coronavirus

Disinfection measures serve to reduce the risk of infection and the transmission rates by pathogens. Thereby  these pathogens are killed by the targeted or large-scale application of appropriate disinfectants. Specifically, it is about viruses and microorganisms such as bacteria, germs or spores. Viral diseases have been on the rise not only since the current corona epidemic. Targeted hygiene and disinfection measures can counteract this. In view of the current dangers surrounding the COVID-19 virus, these disinfection measures are of course recommended. We are the right contact for professional disinfection measures and are well prepared. Get in touch and send us your specific requirements.

In general, disinfection operations make sense in all public spaces and wherever there is increased public traffic under normal circumstances. These targeted disinfection measures can significantly reduce or almost completely eliminate pathogens (including the SARS-CoV-2 voronavirus) on surfaces. Depending on the surface (such as metal, plastic or glass), various pathogens remain active for hours, days or even weeks.  With the help of tried and tested disinfectants (typically based on hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite or ethanol), the number - and thus also the risk of infection - can be significantly reduced by surviving pathogens.

Disinfection measures can therefore slow down or prevent the spread of viral diseases (including infections with the COVID-19 virus). It has been proven that professional and targeted or area-wide disinfection measures inactivate, decimate or even kill pathogens such as bacteria, spores, viruses and germs. For each surface and depending on the condition, we achieve this through appropriately aligned disinfection inserts using machines (spraying process) or by hand (personal devices, manual cleaning). Basically we offer disinfection solutions & Uses for a wide variety of areas, such as the following specific examples:

  • Streets & places

  • Seating and benches in public spaces

  • Public and private administrative buildings

  • Outdoor areas, parking lots and shopping trolley boxes in front of supermarkets

  • Shopping arcades and commercial streets

  • Restaurant exteriors

  • Cinemas

  • Large gastronomy and canteens

  • Schools & Universities & Educational institutions of all kinds

  • Hotel & Gastronomy in general

  • Exhibition halls and fairgrounds

  • Churches, meeting rooms and sacred buildings

  • Sights & Museums

...etc.

It is important to know that we plan and carry out the disinfection individually depending on the nature of the surfaces and the general requirements. In this way, the most suitable procedures and the right disinfectants are used in each case. A specialized machine park, the right equipment and an experienced team led by qualified area managers are used to ensure maximum results in each case. However, pathogens can never be completely eliminated. Some contamination with bacteria, germs, fungal spores and viruses is also normal. Rather, it is about eliminating, preventing or avoiding the number and extreme concentrations. This significantly reduces the risk of transmission and the risk of infection.

The answer to this question sometimes paints a fatal picture: Depending on the pathogen, surface and a whole range of other influencing factors, pathogens can remain active for hours, days or even weeks. Of course, the actual risk of infection also depends on many factors, such as the concentration and type of contamination. The overview attached gives you a quick and rough overview. It is obvious: Intermittent, reliable and professional disinfection work makes sense.
