What does GBAC STAR ACCREDITATION MEAN? GBAC is the cleaning industry’s only outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation for facilities. Becoming accredited means that USESI, and all our locations, will implement the most stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention. GBAC STAR accreditation empowers us to assure workers, customers and key stakeholders that we have a proven system in place to maintain clean, healthy and safe environments. 

What does this mean for each customer? GBAC protocols have already been deployed to our location. This means that there will be daily cleaning with specific chemicals used that are affective in disinfecting. We ask that each customer do their part by wearing their masks, washing their hands, and keeping their distance whenever possible. Our counter people are expected to supplement our routine cleanings by sanitizing the counter, pens and other high touch points after EACH customer.
