Disinfection and Decontamination Questions Answered for Albuquerque, NM
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.
What kills COVID-19?
Many EPA-registered disinfectants are listed for the virus, and soap and water break it down on hands. The right product depends on the surface. Always read the label for the germs covered and the time it must stay wet.
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.
Does hand sanitizer kill coronavirus?
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.
Is professional COVID cleaning needed?
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.
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.
