The price depends on the size of the space, the type of property, the number of high-touch surfaces and whether soft items must be removed. A cleanup company gives a price after seeing the space. Some teams offer payment plans, so ask when you call.
Wear gloves, clean visible soil from high-touch surfaces and then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus on the label. Keep it wet for the full contact time. Soft items such as bedding are washed on the warmest setting the fabric allows.
Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. EPA keeps lists of registered disinfectants for specific germs, and the label says which germs it covers and how long it must stay wet.
It is the removal or neutralizing of infectious materials from a space. That can mean blood, body fluids, waste or viruses on surfaces. Crews contain the area, clean, disinfect and dispose of waste under safety rules.
Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
