The Disinfection and Decontamination Process

COVID-19 has caused quite a shift of landscape for most businesses and homes in 2020. Disinfection has become a service growing wildly in popularity. This is due to the safety and security of one’s home or business. While disinfection services are nothing new, some may be new to these services and seeking to gain a better understanding of them.

United Water Restoration Group, a company that provides disinfection services, would like to discuss our disinfection and decontamination process. Disinfection has become very important in 2020 and are a fantastic way to provide your home or business with an extra step of security. 

Cleaning Services Vs. Disinfection Services

Though disinfection and cleaning services are similar, they have varying differences. Cleaning services typically cover the cleaning of regular items in use and areas that are dirty. Disinfection services provide a deeper clean and basically are cleaning services with additional steps. Cleaning services are finished once surfaces have been wiped and physically clean.

Disinfection still requires that surfaces be wiped down and cleaned. However, they have an extra step to disinfecting the surface. These services are crucial in 2020 for homes or businesses expecting either a social gathering or average foot traffic. 

Disinfection services kill all viruses dwelling on surfaces and objects. The United Water Restoration Group follows CDC guidelines and uses EPA registered chemicals to wet surfaces and waits for an allotted time instructed by the CDC. We follow all CDC guidelines and safety measures to ensure the success of our disinfection services.

The Importance of Disinfection Services

Disinfection services have become a crucial point to some businesses and homes where major gatherings occur. If your business is about to re-open, disinfection may become a regular occurrence as you try to combat an outbreak of something that may potentially close your business. During 2020, the landscape of most businesses and homes has drastically changed.

Disinfection services can assist in gaining an extra step of security for yourself, your guests, employees, and customers. These services are crucial to providing a safe and secure visit to one’s home or to one’s business. The importance of disinfection can not be stressed enough during 2020. Not only can you protect yourself, but you can protect those who depend on your business or loved ones.

Step #3: Cleaning & Disinfecting Surfaces

The first step of cleaning for our process is about disinfecting surfaces around the home or business. Areas such as floors, counters, and cabinets are spots that are nearly constantly touched. Our technicians follow all CDC guidelines and administer EPA approved chemicals on wet surfaces. Before the disinfection process, our technicians will clean and wipe the surfaces down and then apply chemicals. These chemicals have a set limit to stand and then can be wiped down to accomplish the disinfection process. 

Step #4: Cleaning & Disinfecting Soft Surfaces

Hard surfaces are the easiest to disinfect. During this step of the process, we will begin disinfecting and cleaning soft surfaces. Items such as drapes, curtains, and furniture are cleaned and disinfected according to manufacturer instructions. 

Step #5: Nooks and Crannies 

The final step of our disinfection services revolves around the tight and hard-to-reach places of the home or business.

When Should You Get Disinfection Services?

Deep cleans are always vital to any home or business and should be completed at least once per year to ensure the health and longevity of certain items. Items like furniture, drapes, and curtains need deep cleans to ensure they last longer. Typical wear and tear such as uncleaned stains, gunk, and dust can help deteriorate a product.

Cleaning these items and ensuring your home or business is clean and bacteria-free is important. If you’re expecting a gathering, you can help ensure guests don’t get sick by utilizing disinfection services prior to the event and after. Cleaning after the event helps ensure that no guest accidentally left the bacteria in your home or venue.

Businesses expecting heavy foot traffic should also regularly utilize disinfection services. Having a COVID-19 outbreak occur can close your business, hurt employees, and customers. These services can help you add an extra layer of protection for your employees and customers.
