Disinfecting done properly, or not claimed at all

Disinfecting is a separate step with its own rules, and it only works if the surface is cleaned first. Product sprayed onto a dirty counter is mostly wasted. So the order never changes: clean the surface, apply the disinfectant, and leave it wet for the full contact time the label requires. That last part is where rushed work fails, because it means waiting rather than wiping straight away.

We will also tell you what it does not do. Disinfecting a surface treats that surface at that moment. People touch it again an hour later. It is not a shield over your building and it does not replace hand washing, ventilation or sending sick staff home. What regular treatment of the right surfaces does is lower the load on the things everyone in the building touches.

High touch points we treat

• Door handles, push plates, and crash bars
• Light switches, thermostats, and elevator buttons
• Shared keyboards, phones, and copier control panels
• Restroom faucets, flush handles, and dispenser levers
• Break room fridge handles, microwave keypads, tabletops
• Handrails and stair rails on every flight
• Reception counters and the pen people keep touching
• Trim and window ledges where forced hot air leaves film

Products, dwell time, and honest limits

We use registered disinfectants, mixed at the dilution on the label, and we follow the contact time printed there. Different products need different amounts of wet time, and a product that needs several minutes will not do its job if it is wiped off in ten seconds. On food contact surfaces we rinse afterward. On electronics we use wipes rated for them rather than soaking a keyboard.

Most businesses do not need a fogging machine. They need the touch points done properly on a routine, and the cleaning underneath done well enough that the disinfectant has a fair chance. We will build that into your nightly scope with the surfaces named, and we will not sell you a treatment we cannot explain. If you need documentation of what was treated and when, we can provide it.
