Infectious Disease Disinfection Frequently Asked Questions in Wilkes-Barre, PA

What is the single most effective method of infection control?

Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.

How do you kill coronavirus on surfaces?

Clean the surface first, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus. Follow the label for contact time and any rinse step. Different surfaces, such as wood, fabric and electronics, need different products.

Will the neighbors know a cleanup is happening?

Infectious disease cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.

Is bacteria a biological hazard?

Yes. Some bacteria can cause illness, and they are treated as biological hazards when they are present in blood, waste or contaminated surfaces. Cleanup crews use products and protection chosen for the germs involved.

Who can advise during an outbreak?

State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.

Will an insurer or landlord need proof of cleaning?

Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.
