After more than a year of event cancellations and shutdowns, Washington State is making some progress on opening public businesses and events. For example, the Northwest Washington Fair was canceled last year due to COVID-19 mandates, but this year they are back.
MSNW is Working the Fair Another Year.
Our custodial team at MSNW gets to tackle the fairgrounds once again. It has always been a joy to be involved in such a huge well-coordinated event. For ten days, we will clean and disinfect surfaces to participate in the active prevention of disease contamination through nondisinfected surfaces. We work with professionalism and integrity in all that we do.
Improved Changes for This Year’s Cleaning Team.
We know many people are wary about attending public gatherings even with COVID-19 vaccination distribution, masks and social distancing. With that knowledge, we are proud to bring new technologies to our cleaning practices to provide the safest Northwest Washington Fairground experience we possibly can.
New this year, we will use Goldshield products for improved protection against diseases and bacteria growth on surfaces. Goldshield is a water-based formula that, once sprayed, adheres to surfaces to keep them disinfected in between cleanings. It acts like a magnet, killing bacteria and microbes on contact. This means that even when people touch the sprayed surface, the surface is still disinfected. Regular cleanings will still be necessary for the cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces. The disinfectant will be sprayed post-clean for the added protection benefits.
More Information on Attendance
However, it is important to note that attending any large event with lots of people can expose you to COVID-19 or any other highly contagious disease and that it is an inherent health risk to attend. Northwest Washington Fair issues a warning on their website about the voluntary risks involved, while also explaining how they are prioritizing safety for those who do decide to go to the fairgrounds.
This year, the fair will include two days of demo derby, two days of rodeo, a livestock exhibit, rides, food and more! We hope if you decide to join in the fun, that you feel cared for by our cleaning team. We’ll take care of it!
