Do New Braunfels Businesses Need Cleaning or Disinfection During Fall Season?

As flu, RSV, and other seasonal illnesses start circulating in New Braunfels, many businesses are asking the same question: Is regular cleaning enough—or should we be disinfecting, too? The answer depends on your facility type, foot traffic, and health priorities. Here’s what you need to know to keep staff and customers safe this fall.

Cleaning vs. Disinfection—What’s the Difference?

• Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and some germs from surfaces. It’s your daily wipe-downs, vacuuming, and trash removal.

• Disinfection uses chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This step is essential for stopping the spread of viruses and bacteria, especially in high-touch areas.

New Braunfels Janitorial combines both, so you’re not just making things look clean—you’re actively protecting people’s health.

When Cleaning Alone Isn’t Enough

Some spaces in New Braunfels can get by with daily cleaning most of the year, but fall is different. Flu, RSV, and even COVID-19 can spread quickly through shared spaces. High-risk environments include:

• Schools and daycares

• Medical and dental offices

• Gyms and fitness centers

• Restaurants and cafes

• Busy offices and retail spaces

New Braunfels Janitorial increases disinfection frequency in these environments during illness season, targeting high-touch points like door handles, counters, restrooms, and shared equipment.

Why Disinfection Is Especially Important This Fall

Fall brings more people indoors, where germs spread faster. Without proper disinfection:

• Sick days increase, reducing productivity

• Customers may question your cleanliness and safety standards

• You risk outbreaks that can harm your reputation

New Braunfels Janitorial uses EPA-approved, hospital-grade disinfectants that kill common seasonal viruses—without leaving strong chemical odors.

How We Tailor Cleaning & Disinfection for Your Facility

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Instead, New Braunfels Janitorial creates a seasonal plan based on:

• Your industry and space type

• How many people visit daily

• The surfaces and equipment most frequently touched

• Your business hours and cleaning budget

This means you get the right mix of cleaning and disinfection—without paying for unnecessary services.

People Also Asked

Can I just disinfect without cleaning? 

No—cleaning first is critical. Dirt and debris can block disinfectants from working effectively.

How often should I disinfect during flu season?

 It depends on your space. High-traffic areas may need multiple disinfections daily, while low-traffic spaces may only need extra care a few times a week.
