The Cleaning Glossary
Clear definitions of key terms in modern commercial hygiene and microbiology.
HEPA Filtration
High-Efficiency Particulate Air filter capable of trapping 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, preventing fine dust and allergens from being recirculated into indoor air.
Dwell Time
The exact duration a sanitising or disinfecting chemical must remain visibly wet on a surface to kill designated bacteria, viruses, and pathogens effectively.
Cross-Contamination
The unintentional transfer of microorganisms from one surface to another. Glorica prevents this through strict four-color microfiber coding (e.g., red for toilets, blue for desks).
Low-VOC
Volatile Organic Compounds that have minimal atmospheric vapor pressure, ensuring cleaning solutions do not release toxic fumes that degrade indoor air quality.
Hot-Water Extraction
A restorative carpet cleaning method injecting heated water and conditioning detergent under pressure, immediately extracted by high-vacuum suctions to remove deep sub-pile soils.
Burnishing
High-speed mechanical polishing (typically 1,500+ RPM) of treated hard floors like vinyl or polished concrete to create a brilliant, protective, non-slip gloss.
Zero-Displacement Policy
Glorica's operational rule for executive desks and workstations: documents, computers, and personal items are never moved or disturbed during surface sanitisation.
