Chemical Policy

When it comes to health and safety, we adhere strictly to the cleaning protocols mandated by SA Health. We will not use any chemical cleaning agents that have not been approved for sanitation purposes by SA Health and Department of Health. We use the guide "Environmental cleaning and disinfection principles for health and residential care facilities" by the Government of Australia - Department of Health as a guide for our cleaning practices. 

Supply of Cleaning Chemicals

We supply all chemical cleaning agents and other materials needed for our cleaning operations. These chemicals are specifically formulated for environmental sanitation, such as sanitisers, disinfectants, and detergents.

General Cleaning Chemicals

We use domestic and hospital grade cleaning products for cleaning. All chemicals are in their original containers and have Safety Data Sheets available from the manufacturer. The chemicals we use include:

• Multipurpose wipes

• Detergents 

• Bleach Gels

• Disinfectants

• Window Cleaning Agents

• Lactic Acid based products

• Citric Acid based products

• Toilet Bowl Cleaner

• Methylated Spirits

• White Vinegar

Septic Safe Products

When required we will use septic safe cleaning products. These types of products are designed to safely break down any organic waste and other bacteria that they may come into contact with. We use these types of cleaning agents in areas where it is necessary to avoid damaging the septic system, such as toilets, drains, and other places where human waste is present.

No Concoction Policy

We strictly do not use any concoctions made from home-made recipes. These types of homemade cleaning agents can have unpredictable results as they can cause damage to surfaces and other materials, and are not always effective in sanitising and disinfecting surfaces. We will only use approved cleaning chemicals that have a reputable manufacturer, in the original container and have a Safety Data Sheet available in case of an emergency.

Cloths & Mop Heads

All of our cleaning cloths and mop heads are cleaned and sanitised before they are used. We only use microfibre cloths and microfibre mop heads. ​

Avoiding Cross Contamination

We use a lot of cleaning cloths! This is to ensure that the cleans are effective and avoid cross contamination between areas. A new cloth is taken for each task. Likewise, we have multiple clean mop heads to ensure a fresh one is used for each job and sometimes more frequently if required. For high touch points and contaminated surfaces we use disposable cloths.
