How do you disinfect campsites?

Despite the health situation, many French people are planning to go on holiday this spring and summer. And for reasons of proximity or economy, campsites are a popular option. So the question of preparing establishments and all places to live for the Covid-19 risk is becoming a necessity. Alongside the importance of adapting to the new health measures imposed by the context, there is above all the need to ensure that campsites are properly disinfected. IBL SPECIFIK tells you how.

Disinfecting campsites: understand the benefits!

The covid-19 crisis has clearly given rise to a permanent fear among tourists and holidaymakers of the proliferation of the virus and, more broadly, of germs and bacteria in homes or places open to the public. Surface disinfection is therefore a crucial issue. The sanitation policy implemented by campsite providers is a detail that counts for a lot with customers.

Promoters and managers must therefore put in place a disinfection plan for their campsites in addition to health measures and respect for barrier measures to protect campers and employees. On site, all living areas must be regularly disinfected: catering areas, toilets, water areas, entertainment areas, mobile homes, etc.

So it's a good idea to call in cleaning professionals, making sure they use quality equipment and approved products that have been proven effective against viruses such as covid-19 and other much more resistant germs. To achieve this, IBL SPECIFIK provides you with reliable solutions and equipment that are safe for people and the environment, and above all suitable for disinfecting all areas inside campsites.

What disinfection equipment should I use?

There is a wide range of cleaning and disinfecting equipment that can be used to keep a campsite clean during a pandemic:

  • professional steam cleaners, such as the CLIM 3000, professional steam cleaner specially designed for air-conditioning systems, enabling you to clean and decontaminate air-conditioned areas (camping cars, mobile homes, restaurants, etc.);
  • from aerial surface disinfection equipment (DSVA) Fogging systems: these are fogging systems that can be used after a campsite has been cleaned, 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, where there is 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 appliances you can use to treat areas such as catering areas and campsite sanitary facilities (work surfaces, equipment, machines, tools, showers, toilets, communal washbasins, etc.);

What products should I use?

Just as there is a wide range of equipment and products that can be used to disinfect a campsite, there are also a number of products for cleaning and disinfecting campsites. But what's important is the chemical composition of a product and its ecological properties. Experts recommend using non-polluting solutions that are 99.99 % biodegradable and contain no formaldehyde, chlorine, phenol or heavy metals.

It must also be compatible with the disinfection of materials in contact with foodstuffs. The challenge for campsite promoters is therefore to find a product that is suitable for the hotel and tourism sector, is virucidal and meets all the above criteria. So far, APABIO, the disinfectant for campsites and similar sites, remains one of the most highly recommended products, meeting all the required criteria.

It's a totally 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, is highly stable over time and has a very broad spectrum of disinfectant activity.

What are the different disinfection processes for campsites?

Specific disinfection methods apply to each type of space. However, in general, it is advisable to observe a few rituals to keep the environment healthy:

  • increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfection at campsites, particularly in communal areas (toilets, catering areas, etc.), concentrating especially on areas of human contact (light switches, door handles, soap dispensers, taps, toilet flushes, 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. ;
  • increase the protection of those responsible for cleaning by providing them with gloves, visors, etc. Otherwise, you need to call in a team of professionals. That's what's recommended for optimum use of your equipment and disinfectant products on campsites;
  • provide your guests with soap, hand sanitisers and disposable towels.
