What we know about how Covid-19 Spreads

Person-to-Person Spread

“Person-to-Person” has appeared to be the most widely known way COVID-19 is spread. This occurs mainly with people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Droplets produced by the respiratory system when an individual infected with COVID-19 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

As stated by the CDC, there is a possibility that someone can contract COVID-19 by touching a surface or object where the virus exists and then placing their hand on their own mouth, nose, or even their eyes.

We pay special attention to these areas when doing coronavirus cleaning in Shreveport, LA:

Prioritizing Safety

It is key to perform biohazard removal with strict attention to safety and industry and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear special Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure their safety. They also contain the area, taking the appropriate steps to keep you and your family or employees safe as well.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

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

Our Products are EPA-registered and Hospital-grade

Special towelettes are used that adhere to OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen standard to fight diseases like the coronavirus and other diseases, bacteria, mold, mildew, tuberculosis, and viruses. These and other cleaning supplies used by our industry certified technicians are all hospital grade and EPA-registered disinfectants.

The Coronavirus Cleaning Materials

Our technicians typically use these appropriate cleaning materials:

1. Portable carpet cleaners for carpets and upholstery
2. Mops and buckets
3. Trigger or Pressure sprayers
4. Garbage bags and tape for sealing
5. Disposable microfiber wipes, brushes and/or cleaning sponges

Procedures for Disinfectant Application

EPA-registered as well as hospital grade disinfectants are applied during this cleaning phase. Depending on the circumstances, we commonly use the following methods:

1. Application by sprayer: An electric or pump sprayer is utilized for this process. If the surface or item is visibly free of soil and grime, this application is usually the preferred method.
2. Disinfecting towelettes: We use these for cleaning electronics like cell phones and laptops. If the surface or item has no visible soil or dirt, this item is a preferred method.
3. Microfiber wipes/pads: Used as alternatives to the towelettes, using these along with cleaning products from an appropriately labeled bottle is effective.

Cleaning Surfaces and Materials that are Porous

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 extract where applicable.

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

For the disinfectant of clothing, linens and other personal fabrics, the affected articles should be laundered per label instructions. NOTE: washing machines should be thoroughly cleaned after washing contaminated materials.

Tanned leather materials – We can clean these materials by wiping the surfaces with a lightly moistened cloth 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.

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

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

Our Deodorization Process

Typically, once the infected area is cleaned and starts to dry, odors dissipate. However, our crew will decide if further deodorization is necessary.

The PuroClean Promise

RESPECTFUL: Our biohazard cleaning technicians treat every affected area and item professionally and respectfully, as if it were their own.

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

ADVANCED CLEANING SYSTEM: Our RapidDefense system sanitizes and even helps prevent virus and other pathogen-based contamination in nearby areas. This is an innovative process we use in order to disinfect public areas the most effective way possible.

Proper Cleaning and Disinfection of Equipment

Prior to leaving a site that was once infected with the coronavirus, our technicians will do a complete cleaning of all equipment and tools used in the coronavirus cleanup with 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.
