Disinfection for COVID differs from a regular clean. A normal cleaning wipes away soil, while disinfection uses a registered product with contact time to inactivate germs that remain.

When your space needs decontamination in University, you get the crew, the protective gear and the disinfectants in one call to University Biohazard Cleanup Help. Contaminated materials are removed and hauled away as regulated waste when needed.

Around 55% of households in Memphis rent, so shared halls, laundry rooms and entryways in apartments often need disinfecting too. In a smaller community like University, one outbreak at a single workplace, school or care site can affect many households.

A typical infectious disease disinfection job includes:

  • Beds, couches, chairs and upholstery treated or removed if contaminated
  • High-touch surfaces cleaned and disinfected, from door handles to light switches
  • Rentals and hotel rooms between guests or tenants after contagious illness
  • Schools, daycares, gyms and care sites after illness spreads
  • Odor treatment for the affected area once cleaning is done

Infectious Disease Disinfection Frequently Asked Questions in University, Memphis, TN

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.

Is professional COVID cleaning needed?

Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.

What is the single most effective method of infection control?

Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.

Does hand sanitizer kill coronavirus?

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.

Who pays for disinfection in a rental or workplace?

Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings but not the building. A landlord's or business policy may cover the space. Lease and local law decide who pays between a landlord and a tenant. Employers and property managers often pay after an outbreak.

What kills COVID-19?

Many EPA-registered disinfectants are listed for the virus, and soap and water break it down on hands. The right product depends on the surface. Always read the label for the germs covered and the time it must stay wet.
