Guidance for cleaning and disinfecting PDF
In the attached file, the CDC states that general cleaning needs to occur once every seven days in an unoccupied business. The CDC also lets us know the importance of using EPA grade disinfectants when it comes to pathogen cleaning. When it comes to commercial cleaning, SERVPRO of North Fulton knows how important it is to be on top of the latest cleaning trends to keep our Atlanta residents safe.
When to call for Pathogen cleaning
If your business has an employee that has recently been diagnosed with having the coronavirus, it is essential that you call us as soon as possible. Coronavirus is passed through the air and stays on surfaces for different amounts of time, depending on the surface type.
List of time coronavirus is thought to live on different surfaces:
Copper- Up to four hours
Cardboard- up to 24 hours
Plastic- up to 3 days
Stainless steel- up to three days
Safety for reopening businesses
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends cleaning high touch surfaces in your home or business each day. In a business environment, multiple people are using the bathroom and touching doorknobs multiple times a day. It is essential that these surfaces are being whipped down every day to prevent further damages.
Planning for reopening
If you are a business in Georgia that is considering opening at this time, we recommend meeting with your team to come up with a plan. Implementing a reopening plan will allow your customers and employees to enter the facility without second-guessing safety.
Developing a plan
When designing and implementing a plan, it is necessary to know what types of materials are present inside the building. In your created plan, you will be able to tell what needs to be disinfected versus what needs to be cleaned.
Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned Program
During the coronavirus's first outbreaks, SERVPRO created a defensive cleaning program offered to businesses and commercial buildings. Our proactive viral pathogen cleaning program goes beyond a general janitorial or carpet cleaning. When you decide to be a Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned building, your employees and customers can rest assured that the property has undergone a higher cleaning standard.
SERVPRO training and EPA approved products
We have more than 50 years of experience and expertise to help your business become Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned. Our SERVPRO professionals are trained and experienced in biohazard decontamination and chemical spills. We make it a point to extensively train our staff so that the Atlanta residents know that we are always adhering to the cleaning and decontamination standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local authorities.
Coronavirus in different temperatures
In this time, there is much information that is unknown when it comes to how long Covid19 lives in different environments. We know that it is possible that the virus can live on surfaces for up to nine days but typically only lives for up to five days. We also know that the virus is primarily spread through respiratory droplets. Since the virus is spread through the air, we make sure that our SERVPRO staff will always wear masks and protective equipment when cleaning an affected business.
