Common methods include hand hygiene, protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection, ventilation and keeping sick people apart from others. Cleanup crews use several of them together when they decontaminate a space.
Open windows for ventilation if you can, wear gloves, and clean and disinfect the rooms the sick person used. Pay attention to door handles, switches, bathrooms and bedding. You can get a cleanup team for larger or shared spaces.
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
Clean the surface first, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus. Follow the label for contact time and any rinse step. Different surfaces, such as wood, fabric and electronics, need different products.
Yes. Flu, norovirus, MRSA, C. diff and E. coli each call for the right product and technique. Crews match the disinfectant to the germ, since not every product works against every germ.
Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
One call starts the cleaning, disinfection and disposal.
