Being in the middle of flu season we all know that areas like conference room tables, stair railings, water cooler dispensers, photocopiers and reception desks should be frequently cleaned and disinfected because they can be breeding grounds for the flu virus and other bacteria. But did you know that a Bureau of Labor Statistics reported by Kimberly-Clark stated that employees who called in sick cost American companies a total of $55 billion in 2008? I want to shed some light on an innovative technology that may be gaining momentum in helping facility services personnel maintain a healthier workplace. The technology uses a spectrum of sunlight to sanitize surfaces, water and improve air quality.
