How investing in the right commercial cleaning supplies could save your establishment in a post-pandemic world

Of all the industries that suffered due to the unprecedented circumstances of 2020, perhaps the restaurant industry was the most obviously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. People hunkered down in their homes as news of the national health emergency was plastered across media platforms. As concerns grew, city and statewide orders forced dining rooms and bars to close.

Within recent months, many surviving restaurants and bars have been able to reopen their doors to the public. Having the right restaurant cleaning supplies stocked is now more crucial than ever. 

Just how severely did the pandemic impact the restaurant industry?

The National Restaurant Association’s 2021 State of the Restaurant Industry report displayed the undeniable impact of COVID-19 on the restaurant industry. 

• Total restaurant industry sales for 2020 were $240 billion below the Association’s pre-pandemic forecast for the year
   

• By December 2020, more than 110,000 eating and drinking establishments were closed for business temporarily, or for good.
   

• At the peak of initial restaurant closures, the National Restaurant Association estimates that up to 8 million employees were laid off or furloughed.

Many consumers will undoubtedly make restaurant decisions with a food-safety-first mentality. With crowd-review platforms such as Yelp boasting 73 million unique monthly users on their mobile app, all it takes is a few negative reviews to ruin your restaurant’s reputation for the masses.

BIOPROTECT™

BIOPROTECT™ contains water-soluble ingredients to create a durable and protective shield on surfaces for up to 90 days of protection from the spread of harmful odor and stain causing bacteria, germs and viruses.

When applied to a surface or incorporated into a material, BIOPROTECT™ forms a covalent bond to create a microbiostatic, antimicrobial coating. This coating forms a layer of “spikes” that carry a positive charge. This attracts the negatively-charged bacteria. These spikes pierce the cell, rupturing the cell membrane and ultimately killing the bacteria. 

SmartTouch® Disinfectant

SmartTouch® Disinfectant is ready to use for residential, commercial and healthcare applications. When applied correctly, it begins to kill on contact and fully disinfects surfaces in as little as 10 minutes.

Not only does SmartTouch® Disinfectant kills 99.999% of harmful bacteria as well as other viruses.

In addition, this hospital-grade disinfectant meets OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen standards for HIV-1, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. 

As a NSF-registered D2 sanitizer on food contact surfaces, it is proven effective on 38 individual microorganisms including MRSA, legionella, bordetella, listeria, salmonella, influenza and rabies.

Electrostatic Sprayer

This all-in-one sanitizing solution is not only effective, but it’s also efficient. The portable handheld electrostatic sprayer allows full coverage with less material, allowing more efficient disinfection at a lower cost.
