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 caused by coughing or sneezing produce miniscule drops that may land on the nose or mouth or be breathed into the lungs of someone nearby. This is most commonly how COVID-19 spreads quickly. Therefore, it is thought that person-to-person is the most common way the disease spreads.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

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

We pay special attention to these areas when doing coronavirus cleaning in Orland Park and Tinley Park, IL:

We Prioritize Safety

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

Personal Protective Equipment

First, wearing proper PPE is required. Our cleanup technicians wear a full-face respirator to protect them against splashes coming in contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes. They also wear Biohazard protective coveralls, shoe covers, and Nitrile gloves.

Hospital-grade EPA-registered Products

Our trained professionals 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.

PuroClean Cleaning Materials for Coronavirus Calls

The most common cleaning materials used by our technicians include:

1. Portable carpet cleaners for carpets and upholstery
2. Mops and buckets
3. Trigger or Pressure sprayers
4. Tape for Sealing Industrial Trash Bags
5. Disposable microfiber cleaning brushes and sponges

Disinfectant Application Procedures

EPA-registered as well as hospital grade disinfectants are applied during this process. Depending on the project needs, we commonly use the following methods:

1. Application by sprayer: An electric or pump sprayer is used 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: 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 that is visible.
3. Microfiber wipes/pads: Put to use as alternatives to the towelettes, using these along with cleaning products from an appropriately labeled bottle is effective.

The Cleaning of Porous Surfaces and Materials

Synthetic carpets, rugs, curtains, and upholstery – Our technicians will either clean these items manually or, for machine cleaning, they will apply approved disinfectants for textiles and carpets and then remove stains where applicable.

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

Disinfecting linens, clothing and personal fabrics: The instructions on each label should be followed when laundering the contaminated items. Note: Remember to disinfect washing machines following washing contaminated clothing.

Tanned leather items – We can wash these materials by wiping the surfaces with a cloth lightly moistened with disinfectant solution or disinfectant towelettes.

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

Plywood, wood, block, cinder block, concrete and OSB (Oriented Strand Board): Cleaned by the application of disinfectant solution right on the surface.

HVAC System: Industry regulations should be followed for the cleaning of HVAC internal ducts surfaces and components; by a licensed HVAC contractor or NADCA certified duct cleaner. Additionally, the external ductwork, registers, grates, grills and surfaces are to be cleaned using a disinfectant solution.

Deodorizing

Typically, when the infected area is cleaned and begins to dry, odors will go away. However, PuroClean technicians will decide if further deodorization is necessary.

The PuroClean Promise

We understand that a biohazard event can be sensitive and stressful 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 certified biohazard cleaning technicians treat every affected area and item respectfully and professionally, as if it were their own.

HIGHEST STANDARDS: PuroClean uses products that are approved to provide protection, reduce the likelihood of spreading pathogens and prevent contamination.

ADVANCED CLEANING SYSTEM: Our RapidDefense system disinfects and even helps prevent virus and other pathogen-based contamination in nearby areas. This is an innovative process we use in order to sanitize public areas as effectively as possible.

Proper Equipment Cleaning and Disinfection

Prior to vacating a project location in which the coronavirus had affected, the PuroClean technicians will perform a full 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.
