PuroClean Coronavirus Cleanup Process:

Planning & Organization

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

On-site Procedures

Our technicians will arrive at the job site and do a quick walkthrough to ensure that the area is ready for coronavirus cleanup. Next, they will determine the flow of the work to do the work as efficiently as possible.

We pay special attention to these areas:

Safety as a Priority

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

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Wearing proper PPE is required. Our Coronavirus cleanup technicians wear a full-face respirator to guard 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.

EPA-registered Hospital-grade Products

Our industry-certified technicians use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfecting products, including towelettes, containing pharmaceutical ingredients that meet OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen standard against diseases, bacteria, viruses, tuberculosis, mold, and mildew.

The Materials for Coronavirus Cleanup

The cleaning materials our technicians typically use include:

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

Disinfectant Application Procedures

Our technicians apply EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant using three methods, depending on the circumstances.              

1. Spray application: This process uses a pump or electric sprayer. It’s the preferred system and can be used whenever the surface or item is visibly free of soil and dirt.
2. Disinfecting towelettes: We use them to wipe electronic items such as phones or computers. Towelettes are preferred if the surface or item has visible, light soil or dirt.
3. Microfiber wipes/pads: These are an alternative to using pre-treated disinfecting towelettes. They are used with cleaning products in an appropriately labeled spray bottle.

Coronavirus Cleaning Porous Surfaces and Materials

1. 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.
2. Clothing and Fabrics: The contaminated articles should be laundered per label instructions. NOTE: washing machines should be disinfected after washing contaminated materials.
3. Tanned Leather Materials: We can clean these materials by wiping the surfaces with a cloth lightly moistened with disinfectant solution or disinfectant towelettes.
4. Suede and Nu-buck leather material: Cleaned according to manufacturer’s guidelines.
5. Concrete, cinder block, wood, plywood, and oriented strand board: Cleaned by applying the disinfectant solution directly to the surface.
6. 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. Also, external ductwork surfaces, grills, grates, and registers should be cleaned with a disinfectant solution.

Deodorization

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

*Proper Coronavirus Cleanup and Disinfection of Equipment

Prior to leaving a site that has been contaminated with a virus, our team will do a thorough cleaning of all tools, equipment, and PPE used in Coronavirus cleanup with an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant.

*Per the CDC, Coronavirus cleanup and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because COVID-19 is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of COVID.
