Why is it essential to clean and disinfect? 

According to the CDC, cleaning is the physical removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces of objects by using soap and water. This process does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection. 

Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. Clean surfaces and objects using soap and water prior to disinfection.

SERVPRO of Omaha Southwest & Omaha West/Saunders County follows a three step process for confirmed COVID cleaning. First, we clean all surfaces 7' and down. Second, we use a our EPA registered disinfectant to mist throughout the entire cleaning area. We use a ULV fogger to apply our disinfectant. The fogger gives the solution an electrostatic charge, allowing it to wrap conductive surfaces with an effective and even coverage. Last, our crew will do a final wipe down, and ensure no residue is left behind. SERVPRO tailors the cleaning scope to match the needs at hand. Each job can vary, depending on if it's a confirmed case or preventative cleaning, and the space that needs cleaned and disinfected.
