A virus is a germ, a microorganism smaller than a bacterium that can’t reproduce or grow apart from a living cell. The germs known as viruses attack living cells and there they can multiply and cause a breakdown of the cells in which they’re living. Viruses invade living cells and use the cell’s chemical tools to keep living and to replicate itself. Many well known human infections are caused by viruses, which are also responsible for a number of rare diseases. Viruses are infectious, small in size, and have a simple composition that multiplies solely in an animal, plant, or bacteria’s living cells.
Not all viral diseases are contagious, meaning they cannot be spread from person to person. Contagious viral infections can include the common cold, flu, or other respiratory infections.
Viral infections include:
If you feel that your home or office has been impacted by the COVID-19 or any other virus or infection, contact your local PuroClean professionals. Cleaning your home after it has been compromised with the coronavirus or any other infectious disease is an important step to keeping yourself and your family safe. Our IICRC certified offices are trained to handle virus decontamination and protection with discretion. We will restore your property to its pre-event condition.
In the time leading up to the 2020 worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, many people cleaned for appearance only. Following the pandemic, and the most recent Delta variant, cleaning has become more of a health focused necessity, first and foremost.
Virus decontamination and protection involves a risk of exposure. In spite of this, it is important to hire a trained professional so as not to risk the danger of liability from improper cleanup efforts or the risk of spreading potentially contagious pathogens. Call PuroClean, the Paramedics of Property Damage®, at (305) 894-4343, for your virus decontamination and protection needs.
Every occasion in which PuroClean technicians come into contact with potentially hazardous materials, they are doing so at great risk. Therefore, following the correct training and safety procedures is top priority. It’s important not just for their personal safety, but for the safety of those who will occupy the premises after this work and any other necessary remediation is complete.
In an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to rise globally, health and government officials maintain that the public must take necessary measures to protect themselves. One of the best ways to slow the progress of the coronavirus is to perform deep mitigation cleaning. PuroClean’s team of highly trained IICRC professionals uses the RapidDefense™ system to provide deep mitigation cleaning in areas compromised by a coronavirus or Influenza, or any other respiratory infection impacting your property. Using this process, the team will carefully contain the area and will minimize the risk of pathogens spreading using hospital-grade Environmental Protection Agency-registered (EPA) products. If there are any lingering odors, our trained technicians will deodorize the area and return your property back to its pre-loss condition with empathy and care. These methods of cleaning can be utilized for institutions, commercial, and residential properties. Call your local PuroClean office for more information on how we can help clean your property.
As with any type of property damage, PuroClean restoration professionals ensure that their actions are respectful to the confidentiality and sensitivity of the services being offered with all parties involved.
All PuroClean owners and their technicians will conduct themselves with the utmost professionalism while showing empathy to any and all materially interested people when dealing with traumatic situations. Showing extra compassion and empathy is a very important part of dealing with virus decontamination and protection services, COVID-19, biohazard, trauma and crime scene cleanup, or any other respiratory or infectious diseases.

Q1: What is virus decontamination and why is it important?
A: Virus decontamination is the professional process of cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing spaces that may have been exposed to harmful pathogens. It is important because it reduces the risk of infection, restores safety to your home or business, and ensures EPA-approved cleaning standards are followed.
Q2: How long does virus decontamination take?
A: The time required for virus decontamination depends on the size of the property and the level of contamination. A standard residential or small office space can often be completed within a few hours, while larger commercial buildings may take longer.
Q3: Is virus decontamination safe for children and pets?
A: Yes. At PuroClean of Coral Gables, we use EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants that are effective against viruses but safe when used according to strict safety guidelines. Our technicians ensure your property is safe to re-enter after the process.
Q4: What types of properties can benefit from virus decontamination services?
A: Virus decontamination is essential for both residential and commercial properties, including homes, offices, schools, gyms, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and public buildings. Any place where people gather can benefit from professional decontamination.

A: Coverage depends on your insurance policy. Some policies may cover virus decontamination, while others may not. We recommend contacting your insurance provider, and our team can also provide documentation to support your claim.

A: Regular cleaning focuses on appearance, while virus decontamination targets pathogens. Our certified technicians use advanced techniques such as the PuroClean RapidDefense™ system to disinfect surfaces, eliminate odors, and reduce the risk of viral spread.

A: For your safety, we recommend vacating the area while virus decontamination is being performed. Once the process is complete and surfaces are safe, you can return to a fully disinfected environment.
