Here, our lead technician uses a common practice to disinfect this location.

At this time, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 is well known. The CDC has partnered with premier cleaning companies to combat the spread and clean areas after contamination. SERVPRO is one of those companies, and we have a cleanup protocol for this major event. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that spreads mainly through person-to-person contact or respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is also possible for a person to contract COVID-19 by touching a surface or object and then touching themselves. 

SERVPRO professionals can perform proactive cleanup, but the customer must be aware that cleaning and disinfecting will only apply to the current state of the structure and contents. This means that the location and its contexts remain clean and disinfected unless an infected person enters and occupies that structure. It should also be made known that carpet and other porous material can not be disinfected, but they can be sanitized.

The CDC encourages cleaning surfaces that are frequently touched, such as keyboards, phones, toilets, switches, faucets, etc. The CDC also recommends the disinfecting process be completed by using hospital-grade disinfectants with claims against similar pathogens. SERVPRO uses SERVPROxide because it meets the CDC's standards. 

Please contact us if you have more questions about our disinfecting process and please stay safe, don't touch your face and wash your hands frequently.
