What disinfection means here
The company cleans surfaces first, then applies a disinfectant registered for the germs in question. The EPA keeps lists of registered products by pathogen (EPA).
A disinfectant only works when the surface stays wet for the time on the label. Ask which product will be used and what the contact time is.
If a doctor or the health department has given you specific instructions, share them with the company on the call.
What to ask
- Which product they use, and whether it is registered for the illness involved.
- Which rooms and items they will treat, and what they cannot treat.
- How long before the rooms can be used again.
