Restaurant Disinfection

Health Risk Factors in Restaurants

Many restaurants closed down, either temporarily or permanently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As food establishments reopen, experts are worried that an increase in cases will soon follow.

There’s a high risk of infection in restaurants, along with hotels and gyms, as researchers from Stanford University and Northwestern University observed. Although restaurants have started to adopt creative ways to deal with the outbreak — such as using vinyl enclosures, installing plexiglass barriers, and primarily implementing outdoor seating — the health risks remain apparent.

COVID-19 is a very contagious disease, spreading from person to person through respiratory droplets. These droplets are usually expelled through talking, coughing, sneezing, and eating, thereby compounding the risk in the food service industry.

But, COVID-19 isn’t the only illness that restaurateurs should worry about. There are a number of other bacterial and viral diseases people can catch at restaurants as a result of poor hygiene and sanitation.

How Disinfection Is the Answer

Given the potentially unsanitary conditions of restaurants, proper and frequent disinfection is a must. While regular cleaning is certainly necessary, it’s not the same as disinfecting restaurants. But, what exactly is the difference between the two?

Restaurant Cleaning is the process of physically removing dirt, dust, and other impurities from an area or object. Cleaning only removes germs, though, without killing them. As such, it only lowers the risk of infection.

Restaurant Sanitization is, by definition, the process of making a surface or object sanitary. Like cleaning, sanitizing lowers the number of germs but to a level deemed safe by public health standards.

Restaurant Disinfection kills germs, viruses, and bacteria with the help of chemicals. Though, disinfection doesn’t necessarily clean dirt from surfaces or objects.
