What Santa Cruz Residents Ask About Disinfection Services

Is bacteria a biological hazard?

Yes. Some bacteria can cause illness, and they are treated as biological hazards when they are present in blood, waste or contaminated surfaces. Cleanup crews use products and protection chosen for the germs involved.

How do you disinfect wood furniture for COVID?

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.

What rules do disinfection crews follow?

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.

Does hand sanitizer kill coronavirus?

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.

How much does disinfection cost?

The price depends on the size of the space, the type of property, the number of high-touch surfaces and whether soft items must be removed. A cleanup company gives a price after seeing the space. Some teams offer payment plans, so ask when you call.

What is biohazard decontamination?

It is the removal or neutralizing of infectious materials from a space. That can mean blood, body fluids, waste or viruses on surfaces. Crews contain the area, clean, disinfect and dispose of waste under safety rules.
