Cleanable Surfaces

Hello friends. I hope that you, your families and your colleagues are well. 

As Pennsylvania and neighboring states move into the "green" phase of re-opening, questions have arisen about how to best clean the surfaces in the office, specifically the furniture. We've moved into a new era when ALL office furniture is healthcare furniture. With each installation we provide our clients a "Care and Use Guide" detailing which type cleaning products to use. Let's look at some of those recommendations now. As always, please follow guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and other agencies for issues relating to COVID-19.

Vinyl upholstery is the office workhorse because it is easily cleaned but regular use of harsh, bleach-type products can degrade the material. Make sure any cleaning solution you use is recommended for the materials in your office. Bleach needs to be part of a diluted solution that's left on vinyl upholstery or furniture for one minute and then rinsed. Hydrogen peroxide solutions of 1%-3% can also be effective as can alcohol-based solutions which contain 70% or more alcohol.   

We are here to help so please reach out to us for cleaning instructions for your specific furniture.

As a reminder, our warehouse and installation crews are following CDC guidelines and are required to use personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer, and are subject to daily temperature checks.

This month's cover photo is from Rockport, Massachusetts, a lovely little seacoast town on beautiful Cape Ann which we discovered quite by accident one year on our way to Maine. Rockport is only an hour by car from Boston and has become one of my favorite spots in New England. I look forward to the day when we can return for a visit. 

We at AMP Business Interiors, Inc., want to wish all the dads a happy Father's Day. Enjoy your special day!
