COVID-19 Deep clean- decontamination
In these uncertain times, we wanted to provide an update on what we are doing at Clean2Spec to support you and your organisations.
As the situation around novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, we will all face an extremely challenging time, and our industry, in particular, must play its part in helping to reduce the risk of the spread of the disease.
Question – What do we need to do to deep clean?
After a confirmed outbreak of COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) to ensure a deep clean, all substrates, fixtures, fittings, furniture (including soft) and other items in the area are disinfected (to protect the operative), then cleaned and finally re-disinfected.
A deep clean will involve 8 elements:
- Using the correct PPE, including following correct gowning and de-robing procedures for this equipment.
- Isolation of the area to be deep cleaned.
- Disinfection with the approved/correct disinfectant, paying special attention to touchpoints and high-risk areas.
- Thorough clean of the area.
- Clinical re disinfection of the whole area.
- Disinfection of machinery and equipment, if any are deployed.
- Correct disposal of contaminated materials and PPE.
- Shower/clean of cleaning operative(s) after completion of the task.
Question – What can we use to kill the virus?
- Clean2spec currently offers a fogging service using Steri-7, a proven Sars2 disinfectant.
- A certificate is issued once service is completed and documentation about Steri-7 is also available
Current Public Health England advice is as follows;
“a chlorine-based disinfectant should be used, in the form of a solution at a minimum strength of 1,000ppm”
