  • Washing hands frequently and thoroughly. Keeping them clean.
  • Keeping distance from people who are sick.
  • Avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Avoiding any unnecessary travel.

Our office is cleaned with disinfectant multiple times throughout the day, Including desks, table tops, chairs, door knobs, debit/credit machines, phones, computers, etc.

We value your business and the safe working conditions for your team and ours is a priority for Columbia Business Systems.

Some helpful tips on how to disinfect your MFP & printers:

We recommend using Isopropyl Alcohol of 70% of higher to clean the touch panel and surrounding areas of your equipment. This is highly effective against the virus and recommended by all health organizations. Please do NOT spray directly onto any part of the machine. Liquids can make their way into small gaps in the control panel, and other areas of the machine which can result in damage. Columbia always recommends spraying disinfectant directly onto a clean cloth and gently wiping down the machine. Do NOT use bleach or bleach-based products as they can damage the equipment. Alcohol is one of the safest products to use on electrical equipment.

If you have any other questions or concerns regarding the cleaning of your equipment, or our COVID-19 policies, please call us at 604-591-3488, or email service@columbia-business.com
