Disinfection, or decontamination, is crucial as it eliminates microorganisms, bacteria, fungi (moulds), and viruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Disinfection neutralises the threats posed by dangerous microorganisms and viruses that can settle on the surfaces of hands and objects. Pathogenic microorganisms can be deposited on surfaces through direct physical contact, such as touching or brushing, or through indirect contact, where bacteria and viruses from the air settle on surfaces. Disinfection can be achieved by applying suitable chemical agents or using physical conditions such as high temperatures and UV radiation to kill viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Additionally, alcoholic and non-alcoholic disinfectants, including those offered by Merida with a dosing system, can also effectively disinfect surfaces.
How should You disinfect Your hands?
To reduce the risk of disease and transmission of bacteria and viruses, it's important to wash your hands with soap and water frequently and to use hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol. Our products contain a mixture of three active substances: ethanol, isopropanol, and phenoxyethanol for better efficiency. The products offered on merida.com.pl are dermatologically tested and well-regarded among users. These dermatologically tested disinfectants ensure effective disinfection while protecting the skin against excessive drying.
The disinfecting liquid or gel should be applied to the hands using a hand sanitizer or a bottle with a pump. We recommend using two doses to thoroughly moisten the skin surface with the disinfectant. Then, rub the liquid for about 30 seconds until it dries. Remember to apply the disinfectant between the fingers and on the top and back of the hand to ensure proper disinfection and safety during a pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends frequent hand disinfection.
What should we disinfect?
All surfaces that may have encountered germs should be disinfected. It is a good practice to disinfect door handles, lift buttons, handrails, and other surfaces often touched by people in public spaces such as offices, shops, and residential building corridors.
Grocery stores and other retail establishments should provide a free-standing hand disinfection station at the facility entrance. Placing such a disinfection stand at the store entrance significantly helps customers comply with safety rules and reminds them to disinfect their hands. The store offers stands that can be placed on the floor or a desk or table. They are made of powder-coated steel, ensuring stability and durability.
In the office space, it's important to regularly disinfect computer workstations and office items such as staplers, scissors, telephones, headsets, and pens. These items are commonly used and passed from hand to hand, so regular disinfection is essential. Don't forget to disinfect office chairs, focusing on the armrests. To ensure employee safety, it's a good idea to have disposable cloths and disinfectant wipes on hand for surfaces. These materials are effective for one-time use and can help maintain a clean workspace. Additionally, consider placing hand sanitizing stations at various locations throughout the office.
Please ensure that the communal kitchen or company catering facilities receive special attention. There should be hand disinfection stations available, either free-standing or
wall-mounted. Additionally, the products offered should be approved for contact with food, such as MERIDA VELOX SPRAY, MERIDA DISINFECTIN COMPLEX PLUS, and MERIDA EPIDEMIN PLUS +.
During a pandemic and with the mandatory use of masks covering the nose and mouth, many people opt for reusable masks. To ensure their cleanliness, the masks should be washed in a washing machine at a minimum of 60°C. After washing, it is recommended to moisten the mask with MERIDA ANTIVIRUS LIQUID and allow the disinfectant to dry and evaporate. The surfaces of the masks should be disinfected by wiping them with a biocide and then wiping them with MERIDA SUPER BŁYSK to remove any streaks from the preparation. Disinfection in kindergartens and schools should be carried out for facilities like the office, except that special attention should be paid to toys.
Disinfection is important for medical facilities, such as hospitals, dentists' offices, clinics, doctors' offices, nursing homes, and sanatoriums. The Merida store offers a variety of products for hygienic and surgical disinfection of hands and surfaces. We recommend using MERIDA ANTYVIRUS LIQUID and disinfecting cloths soaked in MERIDA DDR+ liquid.
In addition to medical facilities, beauty, tattoo, massage, fitness, and gyms also require regular disinfection of surfaces and hands. For these facilities, we recommend using EPIDEMIN PLUS+ liquid and either MERIDA VADO SOFT or MERIDA DDR+ disposable cloths. Hand disinfection dispensers dispensing the liquid and gel for disinfection are the basis for dispensing the liquid and gel.
Elbow-operated dispensers ensure the highest standards of sanitation. They are activated by pressing the elbow button and are used wherever a clean environment is necessary, such as in hospitals, doctor's offices, dental offices, beauty salons, hairdressing salons, and restaurant kitchens.
