What Portola Valley Residents Ask About Disinfection Services
How long does disinfection take?
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
How do you disinfect after COVID-19?
Wear gloves, clean visible soil from high-touch surfaces and then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus on the label. Keep it wet for the full contact time. Soft items such as bedding are washed on the warmest setting the fabric allows.
How do you clean after COVID?
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.
How do you disinfect wood furniture for COVID?
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.
What rules do disinfection crews follow?
Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. EPA keeps lists of registered disinfectants for specific germs, and the label says which germs it covers and how long it must stay wet.
How much does disinfection cost?
The price depends on the size of the space, the type of property, the number of high-touch surfaces and whether soft items must be removed. A cleanup company gives a price after seeing the space. Some teams offer payment plans, so ask when you call.
