This flu season is like no other as facility managers deal with the annual influenza outbreak during a global pandemic. While the two illnesses share many similarities, there are some key differences that may affect how you maintain a healthy work environment for your occupants. Mister Kleen provides information, resources, and services to help our clients avoid a “winter twindemic” from running rampant in their facilities.
How can I help employees and tenants remain healthy?
It’s not too late to get a flu shot, so encourage employees and tenants to get the flu vaccine if they haven’t done so already. Communicate the importance of getting a flu shot this year and provide resources about where they can get a flu vaccine. Also, consider hosting a flu vaccine clinic at your facility.
Provide resources and materials to promote preventative actions. For example, install no-touch soap dispensers and faucets in restrooms, and place hand sanitizing stations at high touch, high traffic areas like elevator lobbies. Mister Kleen offers hand sanitizing stations and hand sanitizer refills for purchase as a convenience for clients who may be having difficulty sourcing these items.
Regularly review your scope of work for an ongoing cleaning and disinfection plan. Consider increasing the cleaning schedule and using day porter services dedicated to applying disinfectants throughout the day. The sight of porters regularly performing disinfection services to high touch areas such as lobbies, elevators and stairwells can help instill confidence and peace of mind for office occupants.
Have an emergency plan in place in the event of a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19. Mister Kleen responds to Emergency Disinfecting Service requests 24/7 – even in High Security facilities that require cleared personnel. Ask about our Enhanced Kleen program. After ensuring surfaces do not contain visible dirt, our specialty teams apply fast acting disinfectants from the EPA’s List N using innovative Electrostatic Spraying technology along with conventional application methods.
With the proper planning, you may be able to help your tenants and occupants working safely and in good health through the winter flu season. Mister Kleen is here to help – please feel free to contact us by calling 703-719-6900.
I cannot help but notice the important work that is performed by the Mister Kleen staff. … the Mister Kleen staff that I encounter have consistently done a good job at keeping our spaces clean, and just as importantly, they do so with dedication and good cheer. It is a pleasure to see them each day as they go about their jobs. I want to especially recognize Charles Marshall, Christopher Marshall, Steven Earley, Roy Drummonds, Cody Sine, Marie Moore, and Mike Williams. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated.

I wanted to send along my appreciation to the following individuals for all their hard work: Bilic Bonilla, Jose Mendoza, Atem Morfaw, Miguel Vasquez. These gentlemen were very professional and quickly answered any questions we had and addressed any concerns immediately. Mister Kleen is fortunate to have these employees as part of their staff. Please pass along my appreciation to all the guys.

Smartphones and other mobile devices inherently trust cellular networks—after all, that’s their job. The trouble is, depending on your industry, company role, and the nature of your work, you may want to hide data from the network.
In particular, you may not want to share your location data at all times. This has become enough of a concern for the National Security Agency to issue a recent alert about the risks posed by mobile and Internet of Things devices, as well as apps that love to gather location data.
Here are some tips to keep your whereabouts to yourself:
Not all of these strategies are necessary at all times; remember, this is an NSA directive focused on workers who often deal in extremely sensitive information. However, there’s no getting around it: When the exposure of location data could compromise a mission, users must prioritize mitigating risks to the greatest extent possible.
