Common Questions About Covid-19 Cleaning
In short, yes. Bleach as an ingredient in a cleaning process is useful if used correctly. When using bleach, one has to be careful to not damage any surfaces. Our EPA approved disinfecting products and our electrostatic misting equipment is very effective in disinfecting and not harming any surfaces.
Based off of UCSD’s COVID-19 Information page, EPA’s List N; Disinfectants for use against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and CDC’s Detailed Disinfection Guidance webpage, these are effective disinfectants and cleaners against coronavirus; > Soap and water > Alcohol-based hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol > Bleach solutions and bleach-based cleaners as specified on the bleach > Hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen-peroxide-based cleaners > Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), commonly found in disinfectant wipes and sprays > Phenolic Solutions > Sodium Chlorite.
Not entirely. Cleaning alone does not remediate the means of eliminating the virus. A disinfectant must be used to kill the virus. A disinfectant, if used properly, should destroy 99.9% of germs and viruses after a surface has been cleaned.
Based off of the CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 webpage they mention that surfaces such as desks, phones, sinks, door handles, and other commonly touched surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected daily if not more. But for public areas where many individuals pass through and touch instruments or surfaces, those should be cleaned and sanitized after each use. These could be elevator buttons, office building door handles, signing pens, etc.
Information regarding this question is answered by the CDC. To summarize their information, if your occupation’s location has been unoccupied for more than 7 days, a regular cleaning process is all that is needed. COVID-19’s lifespan on surfaces is shorter than 7 days.
