Khidmah announces completion of major disinfection mission across several properties
Firm says it used a number of chemicals and tools including steam cleaning machines and disinfectant compressed sprayers
Khidmah has announced the completion of several disinfection and sanitisation drives across residential and commercial assets and units in the UAE since March. The company says it is eager to offer its expertise and solutions in support of the national drive for enhanced sanitisation and disinfection, to combat the spread of COVID-19.
According to a statement, the firm participated in the UAE government’s National Sterilisation Programme and carried out the disinfection of various streets, parks and pathways around Abu Dhabi.
“As many restrictions are being eased across the UAE, we are witnessing a significant rise in demand for professional sanitisation and disinfection services coming from commercial entities, as they gear up to welcome back their staff to offices in the near-term and as directed by the UAE government authorities. Khidmah has made sure its teams have the know-how, capabilities and capacity to respond quickly and effectively to this increased demand. We are honoured to be able to play a pivotal role in helping in keeping people safe during these exceptional circumstances,” said Khidmah CEO Abdulla Al Wahedi.
The firm says it uses a range of chemical and technical methods to complete sanitisation and disinfection, depending on the size and type of asset being treated.
Al Wahedi noted that the different processes required the use of chemicals such as chlorine, iodine and quaternary ammonium, which in turn reduce the risk of infection by effectively killing germs and viruses on any surfaces. The chemicals used are organic and certified by the Emirates Environmental Agency and in accordance with public health standards, he concluded.
