How does this version of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Spread?

Person-to-Person Spread

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. This includes individuals who are close to one another (within about 6 feet) and through respiratory droplets becoming airborne when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of those who are nearby or possibly be breathed into the lungs.

Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

There is a possibility that COVID-19 can be contracted when an individual physically touches a surface or object with the virus present and then touches their mouth or nose. The CDC reports that this type of spreading is highly likely.

Organization & Planning for Coronavirus Cleanup in Palm Desert, CA

We pay special attention to these areas when doing coronavirus cleanup in Palm Desert, CA:

Prioritizing Safety

It is of extreme importance to work with biohazard removal while also paying close attention to safety, industry and OSHA standards and guidelines. Our trained technicians wear specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to keep themselves safe. PuroClean will also contain the area, taking the appropriate steps to keep you and your loved ones or employees safe as well.

Our PPE (Personal Protective Equipment

First, wearing proper PPE is required. Our cleanup technicians wear a full-face respirator to guard against airborne bacteria coming in contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes. They also wear Biohazard protective coveralls, shoe covers, and Nitrile gloves.

Hospital-grade EPA-registered Products

Our extensively trained and certified technicians use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant products, such as towelettes, with pharmaceutical ingredients that adhere to OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen standard against diseases like COVID-19 and other disease-causing bacteria, viruses, tuberculosis, mold, and mildew.

The Coronavirus Cleaning Materials

The most common cleaning materials used by our technicians include:

1. Disposable microfiber wipes, brushes, and/or cleaning sponges
2. Trigger or Pressure sprayers
3. Trash bags and tape for sealing
4. Mops and buckets
5. Portable carpet cleaners for carpets and upholstery

Procedures for Disinfectant Application

Depending on the circumstances, Puroclean technicians apply hospital grade and EPA-registered disinfectants using three methods.

1. Spray application: The preferred method and can be used when the area or surfaces has no visible dirt or soil. This procedure uses a pump or electric sprayer.
2. Disinfecting towelettes: Our technicians use these for wiping electronics such as phones, computers, etc. Towelettes are a preferred method if the surface or item has visible or light dirt that is visible.
3. Microfiber pads/wipes: Typically, these are implemented as an alternative to using disinfecting towelettes – these are used along with cleaning product(s) in a spray bottle that is correctly labeled.

Cleaning Surfaces and Materials that are Porous

Synthetic rugs, carpets, curtains, and upholstery: Our Technicians will clean these items manually or by machine cleaning. Appropriate disinfectants for the appropriate cleaning of the textiles and carpet will be applied for the cleaning; extraction will be done where needed.

Natural fabrics, curtains, upholstery, and rugs need cleaning that is in following with the guidelines of the manufacturer.

Important: Washing machines should always be disinfected after contaminated items are washed. For the disinfecting of clothing, linens, and other personal fabrics, contaminated pieces are to be laundered per instructions on each label.

Tanned leather items – We can wash these materials by wiping the surfaces with a cloth lightly moistened with disinfectant solution or disinfectant towelettes.

Suede and Nu-buck leather items – Cleaned according to manufacturer’s guidelines.

Concrete, cinder block, wood, plywood, and oriented strand board (OSB) – Cleaned by placing the disinfectant solution directly onto the surface.

HVAC system – External ductwork surfaces, grills, grates, and registers should be cleaned with a disinfectant solution. HVAC internal duct surfaces and components should be cleaned in accordance with industry instructions by a licensed HVAC technician or NADCA certified duct cleaning professional.

Deodorization

It is common for odors to dissipate once the affected areas are cleaned and begin to dry. However, our trained professionals will decide if further cleaning and deodorization is required.

Proper Equipment Cleaning and Disinfection

Per the CDC, 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.
