Safe and effective cleaning in pandemic situation
The international project “Safe and Effective Cleaning in Pandemic Situation” started in the fall of 2021 and will last for 3 years. The idea for the project arose when Puhastusekspert OÜ was involved in the development of cleaning guidelines in Estonia by the Board of Health. There are many potentials and opportunities in the teaching, development, and outreach of cleaning, so that people’s health is maintained and the contribution to cleaning is appropriate. It is not feasible for a single organization and needs cooperation partners. We looked for international partners who would have an active interest in making the world a better place in this field.
Partners participating in the project:
- Puhastusekspert OÜ www.puhastusekspert.ee

Cleaning is an activity that affects all people all over the world. People’s health depends on cleanliness. The spread of the Covid-19 in the world has also brought heightened attention to cleaning. Disinfection has been presented a lot in the media, even in the streets. When disinfecting dirty surfaces, the effect of the disinfectant is either absent or insufficient, while the use of biocide poses a risk to the health of the people. Since the destruction of the virus cannot be seen with the naked eye, apart from the use of a disinfectant, awareness is important.
Within three years, we plan to:
- Analyze at least 15 covid cleaning guidelines, at least 30 scientific studies, and based on them make a summary – best cleaning practises in pandemic situation
- Create and share a video clips introducing the importance of conscious cleaning.
- Conduct real-life cleaning experiments to identify the most effective cleaning methods, supplies, and substances
- Create cleaning recommendation videos based on the results of real-life cleaning experiments
- Develop a self-assessment questionnaire so that each person can assess the cleanliness or cleaning service situation based on a specific object
