What we know about how Covid-19 Spreads

Person-to-Person Spreading

“Person-to-Person” has been known to be the most common way COVID-19 is spread. This occurs mainly 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 anyone within range. Also, these droplets can be inhaled into lungs.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

There is a possibility that COVID-19 can be spread when an individual physically touches an object or surface with the virus present, afterwards touches their mouth or nose. The CDC reports that this type of spreading is highly likely.

We pay special attention to these areas when doing coronavirus cleaning in Chicago, IL:

Safety as a Priority

It is of high importance to conduct biohazard removal while also paying close attention to safety, industry and OSHA standards and guidelines. Our trained technicians wear specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area, taking the necessary steps to keep you and your family or employees safe as well.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE is a requirement that our trained professionals follow thoroughly. While on your premises conducting cleaning, our technicians will wear the following: A full-face respirator offers protection from splashes that may contact the mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, or eyes. Technicians also wear Nitrile gloves, Biohazard protective coveralls and covers on their shoes.

EPA-registered Hospital-grade Products

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 standards against diseases like the coronavirus and much more that cause disease. The disinfectant solutions also protect against viruses, tuberculosis, mildew, and mold.

Coronavirus Cleaning Materials used by PuroClean

The cleaning materials our technicians typically use include:

1. Microfiber wipes, brushes and cleaning sponges
2. Trigger or Pressure sprayers
3. Tape for Sealing Industrial Garbage Bags
4. Mops and buckets
5. Portable carpet extractor for cleaning carpets and upholstery

Procedures for the Application for Disinfectant

Depending on the circumstances, Puroclean technicians apply EPA-registered hospital grade disinfectants using three techniques.

1. Spray application: An electric or pump sprayer is utilized for this process. If the surface or item is visibly free of soil and dirt, this application is usually the preferred method.
2. Disinfecting towelettes: If any surface or item has visible minimal light dirt or soil our preferred method is disinfecting towelettes. These are used along with a pump or electric sprayer on locations or items that are visibly lacking soil and dirt.
3. Microfiber pads/wipes: Typically, these are used as an alternative to using pre-treated disinfecting towelettes – these are used along with appropriate products in a spray bottle that is correctly labeled.

The Cleaning of Porous Surfaces and Materials

Synthetic curtains, upholstery and rugs: Our professionals will thoroughly clean these items manually or apply appropriate disinfectants for machine cleaning for these carpets and textiles and conduct needed extraction where necessary.

Natural fabric rugs, carpets, curtains and upholstery: These items are to be cleaned in exact accordance with the manufacturer’s labeled instructions.

Important: Washing machines should always be disinfected after contaminated items are washed. For the disinfecting of clothing, linens and other personal fabrics, contaminated pieces are to be laundered following instructions on every label.

Tanned leather materials – PuroClean will clean these material items by wiping the surfaces with a lightly moistened towel and disinfectant sprays or disinfectant towelettes.

Suede and Nu-buck leather items – Cleaned following manufacturer’s guidelines.

Concrete, cinder block, wood, plywood, and oriented strand board (OSB) – Cleaned by placing the disinfectant solution directly onto the surface.

HVAC system – HVAC internal duct surfaces and components should be cleaned in accordance with industry guidelines by a licensed HVAC contractor or NADCA certified duct cleaner. External ductwork surfaces, grills, grates, and registers should be cleaned using a disinfectant solution.

Deodorization

Typically, once the affected area is cleaned and begins to dry, odors will go away. However, PuroClean technicians will determine if further deodorization is necessary.

Proper Cleaning and Disinfection of Equipment

Before PuroClean technicians vacate a property that had been contaminated by the coronavirus, they will completely clean all tools, PPE, and equipment that was 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.
