Specialist disinfection services help minimise the risk of spreading germs while ensuring a high level of cleaning. They are an important part of maintaining a clean and healthy workplace for your employees and clients.

Disinfection is the process of removing harmful bacteria and viruses from surfaces using chemicals. It can be conducted safely and discreetly abiding by regulatory compliance and industry standards.

Precautionary Disinfecting

Disinfection is a slew of chemical and heat processes designed to kill germs by the thousands. Some of the most effective disinfectants are bleach, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide and detergents (or soap).

Precautionary disinfection is a service for businesses that need a hand maintaining their usual high standards. It is also a key component of an effective COVID-19 mitigation strategy that includes hygiene and surveillance to detect the onset of the disease, if it is present.

A good disinfection service can make the difference between a clean and disinfected facility. With a tailored service and a selection of disinfecting solutions to suit your needs, you’ll be able to breathe easy knowing you have everything covered. The best disinfection service will also save you time, money and hassle in the long run. It will help you stay on the right side of the law and protect your staff and customers. You’ll know that you’ve done your part to keep your business afloat in the face of COVID-19.

Intermediate Disinfecting

Disinfection services help to prevent the spread of illness and maintain a clean, hygienic environment. They are usually performed using chemicals that effectively kill bacteria and viruses.

The first step in any disinfection process is to ensure that surfaces are adequately cleaned before applying the disinfectant. Cleaning removes organic matter, salts and visible soils that can interfere with the germicidal activity of the disinfectant.

Depending on the size of the space and the layout, the disinfectants are usually applied with spraying, fogging or wiping machines. The process may also require the use of protective equipment, such as masks or gloves.

Intermediate disinfection is used to kill a wide range of pathogens, including mycobacterium tuberculosis and many nonlipid viruses. It is recommended for environmental surfaces that are visibly contaminated with blood. EPA-registered hospital disinfectants with a tuberculocidal claim are generally considered as intermediate disinfectants, although low-level disinfectants (i.e., EPA registered hospital disinfectants with HIV and HBV claims) can also be used.

Rapid Response Disinfecting

Specialist disinfection services help businesses keep their premises safe by actively killing germs and pathogens that may be present on surfaces or in the air. They can be used to assist with a number of tasks, including pre-opening, emergency response, and regular maintenance cleaning for office spaces and business locations.

Microfibre is by far the most effective material for rapid response cleaning, as it can clean and dry surfaces in a matter of minutes (compared to hours with a traditional cotton mop) and does so without the need for chemicals. It can also dramatically reduce the amount of water used, which in turn will significantly reduce the overall cost and impact on the environment.

However, there are numerous other factors to consider when implementing any kind of rapid response strategy for your business. For example, you need to choose products that are durable enough to withstand a lot of wear and tear, but also simple enough for staff to use without the need for heavy lifting or the risk of injury.

Comprehensive Disinfection

When it comes to keeping your facility safe, disinfecting is an essential part of the puzzle. It ensures that the surface is free of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that could harm your employees or patients.

The key to achieving this level of disinfection is choosing the right chemicals and the correct application process. This involves using EPA-registered products to wet the surface, allowing it to remain on the surface for a certain amount of time (known as contact/dwell time) and then wiping it off.
