The brainchild of an entrepreneur whose hospitality staffing company, Gravy Work, was significantly impacted by COVID-19, SANISTAFF was founded to help businesses reopen via an affordable, non-toxic service that disinfects against bacteria and viruses but is safe around food; and to create reskilling and reemployment opportunities for displaced hospitality workers, who have been among the hardest hit by COVID-related furloughs and layoffs.
“I’ve been serving the D.C. hospitality industry for 15 years, and the impact of coronavirus on our customers and their staff was devastating,” explained Alex Atwood, CEO, SANISTAFF. “I knew we could help – we have a deep understanding of the specific needs of the industry, and as a hospitality staffing company we’re uniquely positioned to redeploy displaced workers.”

SANISTAFF offers full training to its technicians, who provide a service comprising several elements that can be purchased individually or combined. Before disinfecting, technicians conduct a series of Cleanscore tests on high-traffic surfaces to assess pathogen loads and identify areas of concern. Cleanscore testing utilizes Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which measures residual organic matter including bacteria and viruses on surfaces. Technicians conduct the tests after cleaning to validate disinfection.
“We got valuable data from the Cleanscore tests, insight on problem areas, and ideas we can apply to safeguard our business,” said Augusto Camp, General Manager, Inca Social Restaurant. “We’re making critical decisions as we reopen; the ability to base them on data brings major peace of mind.”
