“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 of Bartlett uses the PuroClean RapidDefense™ system to provide deep mitigation cleaning in areas compromised by a Coronavirus or Influenza outbreak. Using this process, the team at PuroClean of Bartlett 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 Bartlett, IL area property back to its pre-loss condition with empathy and care.
The coronavirus pandemic is still spreading and world leaders in government and health experts continue to urge all individuals to follow strict and particular practices for protection. PuroClean’s Bartlett, IL coronavirus cleaning practices help reduce COVID-19 outbreak related contamination. We are now offering deep mitigation cleaning of all touch-point surfaces, and also using EPA-registered disinfectant. These cleaning practices are available for any commercial, residential, industrial and institutional properties. Get in touch with PuroClean soon to find out more about our COVID-19 cleaning services and more.
Individuals that are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) are the most likely to spread COVID-19 in a “person-to-person” manner. Small respiratory droplets caused by coughing or sneezing produce small particles that may land on the nose or mouth or be inhaled into the lungs of another person. This is most commonly how COVID-19 spreads rapidly. Therefore, it is thought that person-to-person is the most common way the disease spreads.
There is a possibility that COVID-19 can be spread when an individual physically touches an object or surface with the virus present, then touches their nose or mouth. The CDC confirms that this type of spreading is highly likely.
We first will come in and provide a full assessment of your office or home. We decide on the level of containment required and discuss the plan of action with you.
Initially, our technicians arrive at the premises and do an initial inspection to ensure that the area is ready for cleaning services. Then, they plan the flow of the work to do the work as efficiently as possible.
It is of extreme importance to perform biohazard removal while also paying close attention to safety, industry and OSHA standards and guidelines. Our skilled technicians wear specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure your personal safety. They also contain the area, taking the appropriate steps to keep you and your loved ones or employees safe as well.
PPE is required to be worn by our cleanup technicians. This equipment includes Nitrile gloves, shoe covers, Biohazard protective coveralls, as well as a full-face respirator. The respirator mask provides protection against splashing that could reach the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose and mouth
Our industry-certified professionals use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant products, including towelettes, composed of pharmaceutical ingredients that meet OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen standard for use against diseases like the coronavirus and more disease-causing bacteria, viruses, tuberculosis, mold, and mildew.
The cleaning materials our technicians normally work with include:
EPA-registered as well as hospital grade disinfectants are applied during this cleaning phase. Depending on the circumstances, we generally use these methods:
Synthetic carpets, rugs, curtains, and upholstery – Our technicians will either clean these items manually or, for machine cleaning, the technicians will apply approved disinfectants for textiles and carpets and then extract where applicable.
Natural fabrics, rugs, curtains, and upholstery must be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Disinfecting linens, clothing and personal fabrics: The instructions on each label should be obeyed when laundering the contaminated items. Note: Remember to disinfect washing machines after washing contaminated clothing.
Tanned leather materials – We can wash these materials by cleaning the surfaces with a cloth lightly moistened with disinfectant solution or disinfectant towelettes.
Nu-buck and suede leather material: These materials are to be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
Plywood, OSB (oriented strand board), concrete and cinder block: These particular items are cleaned by the application of the disinfectant solution directly on the surface.
HVAC system – HVAC internal components and surfaces of ductwork should be cleaned in focus with industry guidelines by a licensed HVAC contractor or NADCA certified duct cleaner. External duct surfaces, grills, grates, and registers should be cleaned using a disinfectant solution.
Normally, when the affected area has been cleaned and starts to dry, the odors go away. Our technicians will decide, however, whether any further deodorization is required.
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 professionally and respectfully, as if it were their own.
HIGHEST STANDARDS: PuroClean uses proven products approved to provide protection, prevent contamination and reduce the risk of spreading dangerous pathogens.
ADVANCED CLEANING SYSTEM: Our RapidDefense system sanitizes and even helps prevent virus and other pathogen-based contamination in nearby areas. This is an innovative procedure that we use in order to disinfect public places as effectively as possible.
Before PuroClean professionals vacate a property that had been contaminated by the coronavirus, they will completely clean all tools, PPE, and cleaning items that were used while performing coronavirus cleanup, using a hospital-grade, EPA-registered 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.
