Freska's cleaning process

We avoid unnecessary physical contact

• We do not shake hands and seek to keep at least two meters of distance from others at work, during commutes and outside of work.
• Public transport: we keep distance & avoid rush hours, we use gloves and face masks and change them when arriving at customers' place, and we prioritize walking or cycling when possible (at work and outside of it)

We maximize hand hygiene

• Handwashing is the first and last thing we do when entering and leaving a customer´s home.
• We wash our hands thoroughly with soap, for at least 30 seconds, and dry with paper.
• If in doubt, we look at WHO´s guidelines for hand washing.

We use gloves & face masks throughout the cleaning

• We wear protective gloves & face masks throughout the whole cleaning.
• We are extra careful not to touch the outside surface of the gloves when discarding them after use.

Professional supplies & disinfection

• Cleaning liquids: We always and only use cleaning supplies provided by Freska as these have a pH of 8-10 (official recommendation)
• Disinfection: We finish each cleaning by disinfecting all door knobs, water taps, light switches, other handles and toilet including the flusher and also our equipment.

Managing dirty equipment

• We clean or disinfect all our equipment thoroughly after and between all cleanings.
• If not wearing shoes, we wear clean socks for each customer (wash at 90°C).

Used & clean equipment

• Used equipment: we put used cloths, sponges, mops, (socks) in a separate plastic bag, and close the bag with a knot, before placing into our backpacks or bags. We wash the equipment at 90°C as always, before using it again.
• Clean equipment: We put our clean equipment in a clean plastic bag, before they go into our backpacks.
