The first step in deep cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting is to remove all soil and residue from surfaces. This is because impurities like dirt can block the ability of sanitizing and disinfecting chemicals to reach and kill harmful germs.
Buildings ranging from hospitals, gyms, churches, and educational institutions are highly susceptible to various bacteria and germs, with severe infestations reported regularly. Professionals can accurately kill and get rid of them with specialized equipment.
Disinfectants
Surfaces frequently touched by many people, like keyboards, phones, and heavily trafficked common areas, tend to harbor some of the highest levels of germs. These surfaces need to be disinfected often and adequately for everyone’s safety.
Cleaning uses soap and water or detergent to physically remove germs from surfaces. This reduces the number of germs to a level considered safe by public health standards and requirements. Sanitizing reduces the number of germs on a surface by using chemicals to kill harmful microorganisms. Disinfectants are registered by the EPA as antimicrobial pesticides and kill viruses and bacteria on surfaces.
When used correctly, disinfectants are one of the most reliable ways to help lower the risk of transmission from the coronavirus and other harmful pathogens. Jan-Pro only uses hospital-grade disinfectants that are EPA-registered and labeled effective against emerging pathogens. This provides homeowners and customers with peace of mind during this stressful time.
Electrostatic Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection services New York are a great way to protect businesses from COVID-19, but they must be done correctly. Professionals use specialized tools to thoroughly disinfect hard-to-reach areas, especially the crevices and corners where pathogens can hide. These tools include electrostatic disinfection foggers and HEPA air scrubbers, which kill germs on surfaces and in the air.
The electrostatic spray system combines a specialized solution with air and atomizes it using an electrode inside the nozzle, creating a mist that completely covers surfaces and objects. The positively charged disinfecting agent adheres to and eliminates the germs covered by the spray, providing a superior disinfection solution for awkwardly shaped or difficult-to-reach surfaces.
Another advantage of electrostatic spray disinfection is that it doesn’t require wiping. Traditional disinfection requires spraying and wiping, which can coat the cleaning cloth with bacteria and germs. This contaminates the next brushed surface, spreading germs around your facility.
Spray Disinfection
Disinfectants are chemical substances that kill germs like viruses and bacteria that can cause infection and disease. They are typically supplied in a spray bottle or container with a nozzle operated by a handle or trigger button. Spray disinfectants can be used almost anywhere to clean hard surfaces and help reduce the spread of harmful germs.
Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and impurities from objects and surfaces to physically reduce the number of germs, but it does not kill them. Sanitizing reduces germs on surfaces and items safely by using chemicals that kill germs or washing them with soap.
Disinfection services should focus on high-touch areas of buildings that multiple people frequent, including doorknobs, railings, light switches, handrails, faucets, and toilet handles. Professional IICRC-certified disinfection professionals use robust disinfectant solutions to ensure surfaces are properly disinfected and sanitized. They also avoid putting unnecessary strain on the environment by using environmentally friendly products and equipment.
Fog Disinfection
Since the outbreak of Covid-19, it has become increasingly crucial for businesses to have quick and reliable disinfection methods in place. This is not only about public health but also about maintaining customer confidence and ensuring the safety of staff members.
One such method is fogging. This involves spraying a CDC and EPA-approved disinfectant onto surfaces as a mist. This can be done quickly and easily, and it is beneficial for high-level horizontal surfaces that cannot be easily wiped down and hard-to-reach areas like small nooks and crannies.
While cleaning removes surface dirt and grime, it does not kill bacteria or viruses (3-log reduction). Disinfecting is a more intense process that actively destroys germs and pathogens (6-log kill), and it is an ideal backup to cleaning. Hiring qualified professionals with the proper knowledge, equipment, and experience is essential to carrying out this task safely and effectively. This is where a professional cleaning service with disinfection services New York can help.
