Read our approachWhy Flu Season Cleaning Matters
Flu season typically runs from October through March, with peak activity between December and February. During this time, maintaining a consistent cleaning routine helps protect employee health and supports productivity.
The focus is on high-touch surfaces—the areas your people interact with most throughout the day. Routine commercial sanitization, when done consistently, reduces the spread of common illnesses in the workplace.
Daily Plan
These high-touch surfaces should receive attention at least once daily:
- Door handles and push plates (entry, office, restroom)
- Light switches in common areas
- Elevator buttons (inside and outside)
- Reception desks and counters
- Shared equipment (copiers, printers, coffee makers)
- Conference room tables after meetings
- Restroom fixtures (faucets, dispensers)
- Break room countertops and appliance handles
Weekly Plan
These tasks support the daily routine and maintain overall facility hygiene:
- Deep clean restrooms with focus on all touchpoints
- Wipe down cubicle partitions and shared walls
- Clean air vents and diffusers
- Sanitize refrigerator handles and interiors
- Deep clean break room appliances
- Check and restock supplies across facility
Monthly Plan
Periodic reviews keep your cleaning program aligned with your facility's needs:
- Coordinate HVAC filter inspection (with facilities team)
- Review cleaning log documentation
- Conduct walkthrough with Site Supervisor
- Assess supply inventory and reorder as needed
- Review high-traffic patterns and adjust routing
Workplace Hygiene Support
Beyond cleaning, a few facility-level practices support workplace health during flu season:
- Keep soap dispensers and hand sanitizer stations stocked
- Coordinate with HVAC maintenance on filter schedules
- Provide disinfecting wipes for employees to use at their desks
- Empty waste bins more frequently during peak illness periods
