Common Questions About Cleaning After Illness in Boston

Who can advise during an outbreak?

State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.

Does alcohol kill COVID?

Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.

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.

Do restaurants need COVID surface cleaning?

A restaurant may need it after a confirmed case or an outbreak. The work covers tables, menus, prep surfaces, restrooms and door handles, using products safe for food areas and following the label.

What is infectious disease cleanup?

It is the cleaning and disinfection of a space after contagious illness. Crews use protective gear, clean surfaces first and apply EPA-registered disinfectants matched to the germ. Contaminated waste is removed and disposed of correctly.

How do you kill coronavirus on surfaces?

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.
