COVID-19 Coronavirus

Recent outbreaks of serious communicable diseases such as the COVID-19 Coronavirus have increased the need for decontamination of common areas within high traffic businesses and social gathering spots.  At Clean It Industrial we have a thorough and comprehensive process to implement cleaning strategies utilizing qualified disinfectant products from the EPA list of registered products using a trained staff and proven methodologies.  Our goal is to help your business to act quickly to remediate dangerous public health threats.

ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIERS 

COVID-19 is particularly dangerous since people that carry the highly infectious virus may show no symptoms and can transmit the virus for up to 24 days.  The most common form of transmission is from droplets expelled from a symptomatic carriers when they sneeze, cough or otherwise transmit body fluids.  It can be transferred from any infectious person to surfaces where it can remain viable for hours to days.  A combination of cleaning and disinfecting is the best practice to prevent the spread of any viral respiratory illness.

ENVELOPED VIRUSES

One of the few encouraging aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak is that the virus is enveloped.  Enveloped viruses are the least resistant to inactivation by disinfection.  The structure of these viruses includes a lipid envelope, which is easily compromised by most disinfectants.  Once the lipid envelope is damaged, the integrity of the virus is compromised neutralizing its capacity to infect. The Clean It Industrial techs will do a comprehensive and thorough treatment, using the most effective and durable disinfectants from the EPA list of effective products, of all surfaces paying special attention to high traffic and contact areas.

REMEDIATION STRATEGY

To effectively provide a safer atmosphere for your customers, client and workforce there are some easily implementable strategies that can be conveniently integrated into your business routine.

• Routine clean all frequently touched surfaces throughout the day - workstations, countertops and doorknobs/handles - Use soap and water, pre-soaked bleach or disinfectant wipes
• Schedule an in-depth saturated cleaning from the Clean It Industrial trained staff.  The staff will utilize industrial strength EPA approved cleansers and the highest bio-security principles, wear appropriate outfitting (gloves, mask, sanitized outerwear) to avoid cross-contamination, and properly dispose of all potentially infected waste.  This process should be implemented on a consistent schedule until there is communication from government sources that the high-level threat has been restored to safe conditions.
• Have your staff implement cleanliness processes such as washing hands with soap more frequently (20 second rule) and avoid physical contact as much as possible.  Additionally any personnel that are potentially infected or carriers should be given safe harbor work solutions (work from home) if possible.
