FAQ
Is your approach for virus cleaning effective?
Because the Coronavirus is so new, the world is still learning about it - how it transmits, how long people will be contagious, if people can be reinfected. Researchers are still learning about whether heat or cold will kill the virus, and research labs don't have samples to test disinfectants against. This is where the EPA comes in. They've compiled a list of disinfectants that meet the criteria to be used for COVID-19, as they have been proven effective already for virus cleaning of similar viruses, such as human Coronavirus. The disinfectants we use are from List N, and effective at killing over 99% of viruses, bacteria, and fungi from surfaces.
Is the disinfectant you use safe?
The main risk with these types of disinfecting products is if a vulnerable person, such as someone with asthma or other breathing problems, breathes in the disinfectant while disinfecting. For this reason, we only perform disinfecting services on vacant rooms - you and your staff will have to be gone during the time of the service. Since the disinfectant is not rinsed off but must air dry, no one should enter the area after the service for some period of time - from a couple of hours to four hours. Our technician can advise you specifically on when it will be safe to return. Other than that, the disinfectants we use have low toxicity, and are safe for adults, children, and pets.

How often does disinfection need to be done?
Disinfecting should be done according to the needs and the risks in the workplace. Of course, in every setting, there are items that are touched frequently and should be disinfected frequently, even many times a day. These include doorknobs and door handles, light switches, and tabletops/counter-tops.
How should I prepare the area before the disinfecting service?
- Remove papers or delicate items that would be damaged by moisture from the area.
- If there is visible dirt on surfaces, they should be cleaned with detergent or soap and water to prepare the area for disinfecting.
- Make sure that electrical cords and other items that could trip our technicians are removed from the floor to allow safe freedom of movement during the service.
