Biohazard Frequently Asked Questions

There is currently no evidence that household pets can be infected with or transmit the Coronavirus.  However, the CDC recommends having limited contact with household pets and other animals until more information is known about the virus.

Therefore, to protect other people and yourself, the CDC recommends that you restrict contact with pets if you are sick with COVID-19, just as you would restrict your contact with other people.

For now, pet owners in the U.S. don’t need to do anything other than follow normal health precautions such as washing their hands with soap and water after contact with any animal. To reduce the spread of germs, you may consider wiping your pet’s paws when they come in and out of the house with a paw cleaner and paw wipes. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Based on the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our technicians will provide intensified cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces, high touch-points, and any other areas that may have been impacted by the virus. This process includes the use of EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants for the cleaning of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) contamination and other viral respiratory illnesses in commercial, institutional, and home environments to help in reducing the risk to your family and your pets.

Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like Coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because the Coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information regarding Coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.

Cleaning your home after it has been compromised by someone with the Coronavirus infection is an important followup to keeping yourself and your family members safe.  Be sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect your home after it has been compromised.  Clean all surfaces where the sick has been, paying particular attention to the isolated areas.  Carpets, drapes, and other soft furnishings should be cleaned.  Laundry items such as towels, bed linens, pillows, etc., should be removed and properly disposed of.  Clean other areas of the home, especially the hallways leading to the isolated areas, the kitchen, and bathrooms.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to rise and health and government officials notify the public to take necessary measures to protect themselves, one of the best ways to slow its progress is by performing deep mitigation cleaning of all touch-point surfaces, along with the use of an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant.  These methods of cleaning can be utilized for institutions, commercial, and residential properties. Our Coronavirus cleaning services will help reduce contamination related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Call your local PuroClean office for more information on how we can help clean your property.

There is no proven home remedy for this virus.  Extreme heat or cold, nasal saline solutions, eating or applying garlic or onions to the skin, spraying alcohol or chlorine on the body, and other such home remedies will not kill viruses.  While alcohol and chlorine are useful disinfectants, they should only be applied as recommended on the labeling or by a professional, i.e., a doctor, pharmacist, or other medical personnel.

*Spraying alcohol and chlorine can impact the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Applying alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol is recommended for cleaning hands.  Do so by rubbing them together until they feel dry.  Using hand sanitizers, however, does not replace hand washing, as soap and water is the best option.

Bloodborne pathogens (BBPs), as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), means pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

When a biohazard occurs, professionals are needed to clean and disinfect as improper treatment can spread contamination and lead to illness or life-threatening conditions.
