One part of the project PandemicClean was to measure surface cleanliness and hygiene in real-life conditions and find out if the set limit values of cleanliness were achieved in daily cleaning. The aim was to receive information so that cleaning organisations could be more prepared for next pandemics and work knowledge based.
All the studies were case studies, not scientific studies. However, the results show the challenges that a cleaning organisation can face in practice.
The tests involved:

  • pre-tests
  • testing different method sets in classrooms and toilets
  • testing the effect of cleaning cloth moisture
  • mapping out contact surfaces in different room types.
