Home Disinfection During Coronavirus Pandemic
The advent of coronavirus pandemic throughout the world has also meant that people have become more concerned about home cleaning and especially home disinfection procedures. Several local service providers that specialized in various areas of home cleaning such as pest control, HVAC, and carpet cleaning are now forced to begin a home disinfection service for capitalizing on the current set of events. The rise in the requirements has led to flooding in the market for home disinfection services. Therefore, it is significant that as a consumer you understand how home disinfection works. You also should find effective ways of maintaining a healthy and safe house during the pandemic.
Initial steps for effective disinfection
According to the information published by CDC (Center for Disease Control) you need to disinfect your home properly beginning with a thorough cleaning of the surface area. You need to remove all dirt, dust, and debris that harbor viruses, harmful germs, and other pathogens. As a matter of fact, the dust collected inside your house may contain hundreds of dangerous pathogens. The dirt and debris can also contain viruses and germs to prevent any disinfection to avoid making contact with them.
All this poses a challenge for the disinfection companies offering the disinfection spray or fog within the home without actually completing a thorough home cleaning. The mist or the fog developed by the spray will just rest on top of the dirt, dust, and debris. This either reduces the disinfecting effect or is totally infective. It is similar to having muddy hands and using hand sanitizer for cleaning them. The only place you will sanitize is the mud on the hands and you will in all probability and up making a huge mess.
Break the infection chain for creating long-lasting results
After a thorough cleaning, your next goal needs to be achieving the long-lasting effects of the cleaning process and breaking the infection chain. The IFH has listed the places and surfaces that are more at risk for transmission of viruses, germs, and infection. The surfaces having the greatest risk of transmitting the diseases are hands, food contact surfaces, and high-touch surfaces.
Some other low-risk areas include flooring, walls, and furniture. For cleaning the softer surfaces such as rugs, drapes, and carpeted floors you can use soap and water or cleaners that are right for these surfaces. The launder items need to be cleaned as per the manufacturer’s instructions. You can use warm and appropriate dry items or water settings. You may wish to use disinfectants or vacuums for this purpose as suggested by the CDC.
While you are researching the home disinfection services take into consideration your ROI. In these cases, it is the long term effects of the procedure performed by the service provider. The fog disinfectant or the whole-home spray can kill certain germs and viruses. But a full home disinfection service may cost in the region of $1,000 for one household and it is effective just for the short term. Keep in mind that IFH takes into account the hands and high-touch surfaces to be the greater risk areas for the transmission of viruses, germs, and infection in general. As soon as you have walked into the house after completing the home cleaning procedure and flipped on the lights your home becomes liable for contamination.
Continuously breaking the infection chain is by far the most effective way of maintaining a healthy household. It also minimizes the risk of the spread of harmful pathogens. CDC has suggested regularly cleaning the house by removing the dirt, debris, along with frequent disinfection of various high-touch surfaces. You can use the services of professionals such as the European Maids Cleaning Company if you live in the Clearwater, FL area for home disinfection.
