During current times, as the covid-19 pandemic continues to spread, the need to keep your AV equipment clean is greater than ever. Covid-19 is spread through tiny droplets that are dispersed when individuals cough, sneeze, or even talk. When it comes to AV equipment, a lot of the equipment involves close handling causing droplets to land on it or to be transferred via touch. This could cause the disease to spread which is why it is highly important to clean this equipment thoroughly. Here’s how you can keep your AV equipment clean during covid-19:
Wash your hands
A starting point for keeping your AV equipment clean is by washing your hands before touching the equipment. While this is not all you should do, it is a small yet effective preventative measure of spreading the disease. Washing your hands ensures that you are not placing any germs on the AV equipment. Make sure that every person who touches the equipment has washed their hands!
Wipe the screens
When it comes to touchscreen products it is essential to wipe the screens down after every person has touched it. Do not simply wipe the screens down with a special microfibre cloth, but rather use an antibacterial wipe or an alcohol-based spray that will ensure that any germs are removed.
Clean between uses
Cleaning the AV equipment before and after it has been used is not always the correct thing to do; however, it depends on how many people are handling the equipment. If one person is handling the equipment cleaning it before and after it’s perfectly fine, but if more than one person is handling the equipment it should be cleaned after before being touched by each new person.
