What infectious disease disinfection covers:
People and pets step out. The crew sets up barriers, opens ventilation where it helps and puts on protective clothing.
Cleaners set up protection, close off the work area and keep foot traffic out.
Disinfectant is applied to every surface and stays wet for the label time. Soft items are treated or removed.
Bagged waste leaves with the crew. The space is checked and returned for normal use.

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.
Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. EPA keeps lists of registered disinfectants for specific germs, and the label says which germs it covers and how long it must stay wet.
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.
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.
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
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.
One call starts the cleaning, disinfection and disposal.
