6 Products You Need for The Surging Flu Season

Posted by

As temperatures drop and flu season peaks, supporting a clean and healthy environment becomes more critical than ever. Whether you manage an office, school, or healthcare facility, stocking up on the right janitorial supplies can help protect your staff and visitors from seasonal illnesses.

Essential Supplies for a Healthier Winter

1. Surface Disinfectants and Wipes

Our commercial-grade disinfecting wipes eliminate 99.9% of harmful pathogens, including cold and flu viruses. Place these EPA-registered products in high-traffic areas such as reception areas, conference rooms, break rooms, and shared workstations.

Choose surface disinfectants with quick kill times and non-damaging formulas safe for electronics. Our fast-acting surface sprays pair perfectly with disposable cleaning cloths, offering streak-free application without harsh chemical smells.

2. Hand Hygiene Solutions

Touch-free soap dispensers are your first line of defense against seasonal illness. Our dispensers deliver consistent amounts while minimizing cross-contamination. Install antibacterial foam soaps with moisturizing agents in restrooms, and place alcohol-based hand sanitizer stations at building entrances, outside elevators, and in reception areas.

3. Paper Products and Dispensers

Quality paper products support facility hygiene during flu season. Our multi-fold towels and premium roll towels meet various facility needs while reducing waste. Jumbo roll toilet paper systems minimize maintenance time, and our facial tissue dispensers complete your hygiene program.

4. Cleaning Tools and Equipment

Professional-grade equipment ensures thorough facility cleaning. Our color-coded microfiber system prevents cross-contamination, while HEPA-filtered vacuums capture virus-carrying particles. Dual-chamber cleaning carts keep supplies organized, and proper PPE protects your cleaning staff.

5. Air Quality Management

Proper air filtration is crucial during flu season. Install MERV 13 or higher HVAC filters and change them monthly. Supplement with portable air purifiers in high-risk areas. UV-C air sanitization units and humidity control systems provide added protection against airborne pathogens.

6. Employee Comfort and Wellness Items

Show your team you care by stocking wellness essentials. Keep single-serve Emergen-C packets and Theraflu in break rooms for quick immune support. Individual Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe tablets provide convenient relief when symptoms strike.

Combat dry winter hands with moisturizing lotions near hand washing stations. This thoughtful touch encourages frequent hand washing while preventing skin irritation. Consider creating wellness stations with:

These comfort items not only support employee health but show your commitment to workplace wellness. Plus, having relief items readily available helps reduce sick days and supports productivity during cold and flu season.
