Disinfection and Decontamination Questions Answered for Ballard, Seattle, WA
Will the neighbors know a cleanup is happening?
Infectious disease cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
What is the single most effective method of infection control?
Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
Is professional COVID cleaning needed?
Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
Do cleaners handle other illnesses, such as flu or norovirus?
Yes. Flu, norovirus, MRSA, C. diff and E. coli each call for the right product and technique. Crews match the disinfectant to the germ, since not every product works against every germ.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.
How do you disinfect wood furniture for COVID?
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
