The Importance of Professional Infection Cleaning

Businesses have been under a great deal of pressure to adapt to working through the global COVID-19 pandemic. Offices are welcoming back their employees to in-person environments which means that effective infection cleaning protocols must be in place. An important part of these protocols should include working with professional and experienced virus and infection cleaning specialists.

Expert Infection Cleaning

While daily cleaning and disinfecting of high touch surfaces within an office can be done by trained employees, more intensive disinfecting work should be done by professionals. These teams of infection cleaning specialists are trained for thorough virus cleaning. Professional companies use CDC recommended cleaning solutions, they have specialized application tools, and their technicians are fully trained to thoroughly clean the space while keeping themselves safe at the same time.

Professional Protocols

The best infection cleaning companies follow a clearly laid out set of protocols to ensure that each space they work in is thoroughly cleaned. The steps may differ slightly, but generally these companies use the follow five step process:

1. Incident Site Risk Assessment

Professional infection cleaning companies will start with a thorough investigation of the area that requires cleaning. After the assessment, they will offer a detailed quote for the cost and time involved in the cleaning.

2. Pre-Disinfection and Cleaning

The first step to active cleaning is the pre-disinfection. In this step, the cleaning technicians will use an electric sprayer to broadly sanitize the area with CDC approved products.

3. Thorough Cleaning Process

Once the pre-disinfection step has been completed, a more detailed cleaning of the high touch point areas is performed. Teams use trigger sprayers and microfiber cloths to carefully clean walls, desks, doors, chairs, and floors.

4. Load-Reduction & Waste Disposal

If there has been an active virus outbreak in the space, some items like tissues, cloth materials, or personal items that may have been in contact with the infected individual will need to be disposed of. Professional cleaning teams will use biohazard bags and protocols to safely dispose of these items.

5. Detailed Forensic Cleaning

The final step is a detailed forensic cleaning which includes spraying and wiping the smaller items like drawer handles, telephones, keyboards, and door handles. During this step, teams will also wipe down any accumulations of disinfectant cleaner that may have pooled in the treated areas.

When to Call in the Professionals

Infection cleaning specialists should be utilized after an active outbreak of COVID-19 or any other highly infection viruses. Not only can the spread of such viruses be reduced, but professional cleaning gives peace-of-mind to both the staff and management of any office.

For busy offices, routine preventative infection cleaning can be done to ensure that an outbreak does not occur. Since these highly infection viruses can travel through the staff very quickly, it is important to reduce the possibility of staff illnesses as much as possible.

In order to keep a business functioning well, it is imperative that infection protocols are put in place and professional infection cleaning is a priority.
