Despite the health situation, many French people are planning to go on holiday this spring and summer. And for reasons of proximity or economy, the option of campsites is widely popular. Consequently, the question of preparing establishments and any place to live for the Covid-19 risk becomes a requirement. Besides the importance of adapting to the new sanitary measures imposed by the context, there is above all the need to ensure that campsites are properly disinfected. IBL SPECIFIK explains how to proceed.
Disinfection of campsites: understand the interest!
The covid-19 crisis has clearly created a permanent fear among tourists and holidaymakers of the proliferation of the virus and, more broadly, of germs and bacteria in homes or in places open to the public. The disinfection of surfaces is thus a crucial issue. The sanitation policy implemented by the campsite providers is a detail that counts for a lot with the customers.
Promoters or managers must therefore ensure that a disinfection plan is put in place for campsites in addition to sanitary measures and respect for barrier measures in order to protect campers and employees. In the field, all living areas must be regularly disinfected: catering areas, sanitary facilities, water areas, entertainment areas, mobile homes, etc.
It is therefore advisable to call on cleaning professionals, making sure that they use quality materials and approved products whose effectiveness has been proven against viruses such as covid-19 and other much more resistant germs. To do this, IBL SPECIFIK provides you with solutions and reliable equipment, safe for humans and the environment, and above all suitable for the disinfection of all places inside the campsites.
What disinfection equipment should be used?
There is a variety of cleaning and disinfecting equipment that can be used to keep a campsite clean during a pandemic:
- professional steam cleaners: this is the case of the CLIM 3000, professional steam cleaner specially designed for air-conditioning systems, allowing you to clean and decontaminate air-conditioned places (camping cars, mobile homes, restaurants...);
- of aerial surface disinfection devices (ASD) DSVA (Disinfection by Air): these are fogging systems that can be used after cleaning a campsite to disperse disinfectant into the air in the form of very fine droplets. Disinfection of campsites by DSVA (disinfection by air) is recommended, for example, in the event of a risk of contamination, requiring as little human and physical intervention as possible. The couple JETBIO 2020 and APABIO is the device you need to do this;
- the self-contained foam cannons These are devices that you can use to treat spaces such as catering and sanitary areas in camping (worktops, equipment, machines, tools, showers, toilets, common sinks etc.);
What products should I use?
Just as there are many different materials and products that can be used to disinfect a campsite, there are also many different cleaning and disinfecting products for campsites. But what is important is the chemical composition of a product and its ecological properties. Indeed, experts recommend using non-polluting solutions, 99.99% biodegradable, and containing no formaldehyde, chlorine, phenol or heavy metals.
Moreover, it must also be ensured that it is compatible with the disinfection of materials in contact with foodstuffs. The challenge for campsite promoters is therefore to find a product that is both suitable for the hotel and tourism sector, virucidal, and that meets all the above criteria. So far, the product APABIO for disinfection of campsites and similar places, remains one of the most recommended, which meets all the required criteria.
It is a completely organic ecological disinfectant cleaner, based on hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid, and virucidal "Covid19" from 5 minutes after application. This product developed by IBL SPECIFIK has a great stability in time and a very broad spectrum of disinfectant activity.
What are the different disinfection processes for a campsite?
Specific disinfection methods apply for each type of space. However, in general, it is recommended to observe a few rituals to keep the environment healthy:
- increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of campsites, especially in common areas (sanitary facilities, catering areas, etc.), focusing on areas of human contact (switches, door handles, soap dispensers, taps, flush toilets, etc.);
- use specific cleaning and disinfecting products that comply with European and French standards, in particular EN 14476 (for virucides), EN 14347 (for sporicides), etc. ;
- provide additional protection for clean-up personnel with gloves, visors, etc. Otherwise, you should call in a team of professionals. This is what is recommended for optimal use of your equipment and disinfection products for campsites;
- provide your guests with soap, hand sanitizers and disposable towels.
