According to GovInsiders’ article on “How tech can ease the cleaning industry's manpower crunch”(GERMii,2021), cleaning robots can work symbiotically with cleaners. These cleaning robots focus on “time-consuming, repetitive manual tasks” while the cleaners focus on other pressing matters that robots cannot do like “elevator buttons, bathrooms, and desks”. Whiz, an AI-powered commercial floorcare cleaning robot from SoftBank Robotics, automates vacuuming so workers can concentrate on things that benefit people. Organizations can send cleaners for training in light of the current pandemic so they will be well-prepared to fully utilize the most recent cleaning technologies. Additionally, not many studies were done on the consequences of using a disproportionate amount of cleaning chemicals that will be “concerning from health, cost, and environmental perspectives”. Staff should be advised not to use products excessively, and disinfectants should be carefully checked to exclude any components that might have negative side effects. One solution to tackle such problems is the GERMii’s technology to modify Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) into a concentrated beam of light that is “lethal to viruses, bacteria, and pathogens”. Cleaners just need to wash off surfaces using "soap and cloth" to disinfect surfaces without the use of chemicals. Whiz can adopt the UV-C light module as it is close enough to the floor's surface to "almost instantaneously" kill Covid-19, bacteria, and fungus.
