Disinfection and Decontamination Questions Answered for Jackson, MO

When is commercial decontamination needed?

When illness has spread among employees, customers or residents, or when a manager needs documented cleaning before reopening. Commercial decontamination services handle shared rooms, equipment and restrooms in a set order.

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.

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.

Does hand sanitizer kill coronavirus?

Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.

How do you clean after COVID?

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.

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.
