It is the cleaning and disinfection of a space after contagious illness. Crews use protective gear, clean surfaces first and apply EPA-registered disinfectants matched to the germ. Contaminated waste is removed and disposed of correctly.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
Open windows for ventilation if you can, wear gloves, and clean and disinfect the rooms the sick person used. Pay attention to door handles, switches, bathrooms and bedding. You can get a cleanup team for larger or shared spaces.
Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.
State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.
Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
Calls are answered 24/7, and the job is planned on the call.
