Guiding Customers Through Measles Questions—Without the Alarm
You may be seeing news about measles cases returning in some areas. Customers may have questions—not out of panic, but out of concern. This is an opportunity for dealers to provide clear, reassuring guidance.
Awareness, not alarm
Measles is highly contagious, but it’s not new—and neither are the tools used to help control its spread. The focus should be on preparedness and proper procedures, not fear. Where cleaning and disinfection matter Viruses can remain in the air and on surfaces, making routine cleaning and targeted disinfection important in shared spaces like schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and public buildings. Effective products already exist Many EPA-registered disinfectants are effective against viruses similar to—or harder to kill than—the measles virus when used according to label directions. See below.
Success depends on:
• Using EPA-registered products
• Following correct dilution and dwell times
• Training staff on proper use
This is about using the right products the right way, not switching chemistry.
A smart, responsible sales conversation about measles creates an opening to review disinfectant programs, reinforce best practices, and confirm compliance—positioning the dealer as a trusted advisor, not a fear-based seller.
Bottom line
This isn’t about reacting to the news. It’s about reinforcing proven infection-control practices that help customers maintain safe, confident facilities every day.
Jancast #203 is up– Who is going to fix all of the robots? This is the uncomfortable question under all the hype. Everyone—from equipment manufacturers to building service contractors—is talking about autonomous scrubbers, AI-enabled vacuums, and robotic floor machines. But as you point out, car dealerships can’t find enough mechanics, so how exactly is the cleaning industry going to support a growing fleet of robots that break, need updates, and require routine service?

3. How to Disinfect Properly
Clean first: Remove dirt, dust, and organic material
Apply disinfectant liberally to surfaces
Follow dwell time: Let the product sit wet on the surface for the amount of time listed on the label (usually 1–10 minutes)
Air out rooms: Measles can linger in the air for hours, so proper ventilation is key
Focus on high-touch surfaces: doorknobs, light switches, chairs, handrails, remote controls, and countertops
