ABSTRACT: The article is devoted to the prevention of infections in high-traffic spaces (schools, offices) through the implementation of regulated standards of professional cleaning. The relevance is driven by the elevated priority of public health and hygiene. The scientific novelty lies in the integration of contemporary research with the authors’ empirical data from a cleaning company, demonstrating the practical effectiveness of a standardized approach. The study examines the principal mechanisms of pathogen transmission in shared areas and presents the principles of modern cleaning and disinfection. Special emphasis is placed on the transition to environmentally friendly cleaning agents and the optimization of cleaning processes. The aim of the research is to demonstrate that a systematic, evidence-based format of professional cleaning is a key and cost-effective instrument of public health. To achieve this aim, methods of comparative analysis, synthesis of scientific literature, and case study were applied. Materials from leading health organizations and publications in current scientific journals were used. The conclusion systematizes the multifaceted advantages of the approach, including improved health indicators, increased operational efficiency, and reduced costs for clients. The material is addressed to facility managers, public health professionals, administrators of schools and businesses, and representatives of the professional cleaning industry.
