Strategies for Extending Resources
in Times of Tight Supply
It's time to think
It's time to think outside the box
01. Environmental Monitoring
Maybe, what you think you need.... isn't what you really need.
02. Best Practices
03. Consider Alternate Products
04. Keep Critical Products to Critical Areas
05. Redundant Supply
06. Question
Knowledge is power. Frequent environmental monitoring allows users in a facility to choose the appropriate product for their needs.
Environmental Monitoring
Take into consideration:
Data
Product Application
Disinfectant Rotation
Frequency
The frequency you clean should depend on monitoring results
Are you rotating disinfectants with a sporicide to combat spores?
Are you using the best tools to clean and apply disinfectants?
Does the data you collect dictate your rotation schedule?
Best Practices
Contec provides best practice guidance through various platforms including videos, articles, podcasts and social media.
Follow wiping, mopping and disinfectant best practices to get the most out of the products you currently have.

Consider Alternate
Products
Is there a product that will work and you can get right now?
For example: IPA is in high demand around the world. Have you thought about a hydrogen peroxide cleaner?
