SERVPRO of West Riverside City Helps a local Manufacturing Company with Disinfecting
6/8/2020 (Permalink)
When you receive a call that a local manufacturing company is requiring to have their facility disinfected, SERVPRO of West Riverside was there to help.
We were ask by Wayne Tallman from HRM Janitorial company if we handled disinfecting and sanitizing. Due to Covid-19 a company he regularly maintained was requiring disinfecting and sanitizing in addition to their regular cleaning and maintenance.
Beyond the cleaning performed by a janitorial company, business owners and companies must understand that persons infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or COVID-19 that enter their property will potentially infect others and deposit the virus on surfaces.
According to the CDC, the virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. This could be between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
The CDC has set up a web page entitled Preventing COVID-19 Spread in Communities which addresses homes, childcare and K-12 schools, colleges and universities, work environments, healthcare settings, and large community events and mass gatherings.
For business purposes, the CDC recommends routine environmental cleaning. This should include routinely cleaning all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs; and provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down by employees before each use. For structures that utilize an internal or external janitorial crews, it is recommended that they follow proper cleaning protocols established by the CDC.
This is where SERVPRO of West Riverside City stepped in. Fortunately for us, their regular janitorial maintenance company, HRM, is an amazing company and the facility was immaculate. This is the first step that must be completed before disinfecting and sanitizing. SERVPRO of West Riverside City came in and followed through with the following processes.

How does a ULV (Ultra Low Volume) Fogger help SERVPRO of West Riverside City sanitize and disinfect?
