What we know about how Covid-19 Spreads

Person-to-Person Spread

Individuals that are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) are at the highest risk of spreading COVID-19 in a “person-to-person” manner. Small respiratory droplets projected through coughing or sneezing produce small particles that can land on the nose or mouth or be inhaled into the lungs of someone nearby. This is most commonly how COVID-19 spreads quickly. Therefore, it is believed that person-to-person is the most common way the disease spreads.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

It may be possible for someone 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.

PuroClean of Howell Coronavirus Cleaning Process:

Planning & Organization for Howell Coronavirus Cleaning

To begin, we conduct a full assessment of your home or office. We will determine the containment level needed and inform you of our action plan.

Coronavirus Procedures for On-site Cleaning

We pay special attention to these areas when doing coronavirus cleaning in Howell:

Prioritizing Safety

It’s imperative that our employees conduct all biohazard removal with the utmost caution and a strict adherence to OSHA, Industry and safety standards. Our highly trained staff will contain areas, practicing all appropriate steps to ensure your safety, your family’s safety and the employees safety alike.

Our PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

4. Garbage bags and tape for sealing

Our Application Procedures for Disinfectant

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

1. Spray application: The preferred method and can be used when the area or surfaces has no visible dirt or soil. This process uses a pump or electric sprayer.
2. Disinfecting towelettes: PuroClean professionals use these for wiping electronics like phones, computers, etc. Towelettes are the preferred method if the surface or item has visible or light dirt you can see.
3. Microfiber wipes/pads – These are an alternate option to using pre-treated disinfecting towelettes. They are used along with cleaning products in an appropriately labeled spray bottle.

Cleaning Porous Surfaces and Materials

Synthetic curtains, upholstery and rugs: PuroClean technicians will clean these items manually or apply approved disinfectants for machine washing for these carpets and textiles and conduct needed extraction where necessary.

Natural fabrics, curtains, upholstery and rugs require cleaning that is in accordance with the guidelines of the manufacturer.

To disinfect clothing, linens and other personal fabrics, the infected articles should be cleaned per label instructions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Washing machines need to be disinfected after washing soiled materials.

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

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

Concrete, cinder block, wood, plywood, and oriented strand board (OSB) – Cleansed 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. Additionally, external ductwork grates, grills, surfaces and registers are to be cleaned with disinfectant solution.

Deodorization

Our crew shall make the decision whether further cleaning and deodorization will be needed. However, typically once the infected locations are cleaned and start to dry, the odors will go away.

Proper Cleaning and Disinfection of Equipment

Prior to vacating a project site in which the coronavirus had affected, the PuroClean technicians will perform a full and complete washing 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.
