“Coronavirus” is an umbrella term for many types of viruses that have been known to cause respiratory diseases in both people and animals. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19; previously 2019-nCoV) is a new strain that has been recently discovered and publicized worldwide. PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists uses the PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program system to provide deep mitigation cleaning in areas compromised by a Coronavirus or Influenza outbreak. Using this process, the team at PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists will carefully contain the area and will minimize the risk of pathogens spreading using The Environmental Protection Agency-registered (EPA) products. If there are any lingering odors, our trained technicians will deodorize the area and return your Auburn, Worcester County, and Blackstone Valley Corridor area property back to its pre-loss condition with empathy and care.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to rise and health and government leaders notify people to take necessary measures to protect themselves, one of the best ways to slow its progress is by performing deep mitigation cleaning of all touch-point surfaces, while also using an EPA-registered disinfectant. These methods of cleaning can be an option for institutions, commercial, and residential properties. Our coronavirus cleaning services will limit contamination related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Call your local PuroClean office with any questions on how we can help clean your property.
“Person-to-Person” has appeared to be the most widely known way COVID-19 spreads between people. This happens with those who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Droplets produced by the respiratory system when an infected person coughs or sneezes land on the face, mouths or noses of people nearby. Also, these droplets can be inhaled into lungs.
It may be possible for an individual to get the COVID-19 virus after touching a surface with the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The CDC confirms the high probability of the disease being spread in this manner.
We begin by completing a full inspection of your home or office premises. We will then decide what level of containment you need and pass on the action plan to you.
Initially, Puroclean technicians will arrive at your home or business and perform a preliminary inspection to make sure the area is prepared for our cleaning services. Following this, the workflow is determined by PuroClean, in order to complete the project as expeditiously as possible.
It’s imperative that our employees conduct all biohazard removal with maximum caution and a proper following of OSHA, Industry and safety standards. Our technicians will contain areas, practicing all appropriate steps to focus on safety, your family’s safety and the employees safety alike. The extensively trained technicians will wear special Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to perform biohazard removal as safely as possible.
PPE is a requirement that our trained professionals follow thoroughly. While on the jobsite completing our cleaning, all technicians will wear these PPE items: A full-face respirator offers protection from splashes that may reach the mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, or eyes. Technicians also wear Nitrile gloves, Biohazard protective coveralls and covers on their shoes.
PuroClean’s technicians are fully trained and certified and use hospital grade disinfectant products that are EPA-registered. These products include towelettes, containing pharmaceutical substances, meeting OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen requirements against diseases like the coronavirus and much more that cause disease. The ingredients also protect against viruses, tuberculosis, mildew, and mold.
Our technicians typically use these appropriate cleaning materials:
Depending on the circumstances, our professionals apply hospital grade and EPA-registered disinfectants using three techniques.
Synthetic curtains, upholstery and rugs: Our professionals will thoroughly clean these items manually or apply appropriate disinfectants for machine washing for these carpets and textiles and perform extraction where necessary.
Natural fabrics, rugs, curtains, and upholstery must be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Important: Washing machines should always be disinfected after contaminated items are washed. For the disinfecting of clothing, linens and other personal fabrics, contaminated articles are to be laundered per instructions on each label.
Leather tanned materials: PuroClean will clean these materials by using disinfectant towelettes for wiping the surfaces with a lightly dampened cloth.
Suede and Nu-buck leather garments – These are to be cleaned according to the guidelines of the manufacturer.
Concrete, cinder block, wood, plywood, and oriented strand board (OSB) – Cleaned by applying the disinfectant solution directly onto the surface.
HVAC systems: The internal duct surfaces of the HVAC system and components should be cleaned by a licensed HVAC contractor or a duct cleaner who is NADCA certified in accordance with industry guidelines. Also, external ductwork grates, grills, surfaces and registers will be cleaned with disinfectant solution.
Our technicians shall make the decision whether more cleaning and deodorization will be performed. However, typically once the infected areas are cleaned and start to dry, the odors will go away.
We understand that a biohazard event can be stressful and sensitive and must be handled with empathy, care and discretion. PuroClean restoration professionals are fully licensed and certified to follow all applicable laws and standards to remediate incidents safely.
RESPECTFUL: Our experienced biohazard cleaning technicians treat every affected area and item respectfully and professionally, as if it were their own.
HIGHEST STANDARDS: PuroClean uses proven products approved to provide protection, reduce the likelihood of spreading pathogens and prevent contamination.
ADVANCED CLEANING SYSTEM: PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program is an innovative procedure that is used to start the disinfection process of public areas in the most effective way possible. Our system uses disinfectants that help prevent virus and other pathogen-based contamination in areas nearby.
Prior to vacating a project site in which the coronavirus had contaminated, the PuroClean technicians will perform a extensive and complete cleansing of all equipment, tools, and PPE that were used for the coronavirus cleanup using an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant.
Per the CDC, Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
