The Cleaning Gazette

Measles is not just a childhood illness or a school concern. When cases rise, businesses need to think about shared air, shared surfaces, sick-leave culture, and the daily cleaning habits that either reduce risk or allow germs to move through a facility unchecked. Measles spreads mainly through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or breathes. The virus can remain infectious in the air and on surfaces for up to about two hours after an infected person leaves an ar

A data center can spend millions on power, cooling, racks, chips, and security. Then a thin layer of dust can still become a problem. AI has pushed data centers into the spotlight. New facilities need huge electrical capacity, dense cooling systems, and careful planning. They also need something less glamorous: regular, detailed cleaning.

For 2026, most Chattanooga businesses should expect commercial cleaning to be priced around a mix of square footage, labor time, cleaning frequency, building use, a

Norovirus does not need much help to spread. A contaminated door handle, a rushed restroom cleanup, or one employee returning too soon after symptoms can be enough to trigger a workplace outbreak. Recent reports of rising norovirus activity have put extra attention on shared spaces. That makes sense. Norovirus is highly contagious, can survive on surfaces, and often spreads through tiny traces of stool or vomit that are invisible to the eye. Unlike many seasonal illnesses, it
