The Coronavirus has struck and it has turned all of our worlds upside down. We are at War with an invisible enemy. It’s more important now than ever to clean your homes surfaces. Using a product like MediClean is especially beneficial as it has been EPA Registered to inactivate COVID-19. MediClean is a concentrated product that only requires 1/2 an ounce to make a quart or gallon of ready to use product.

Tips For Applying Disinfectant

The key to properly disinfecting the high touch areas in your home is dwell time of the Disinfectant. Meaning, you need to make sure you put enough disinfectant on the area. Dwell time depends on what you are trying to disinfect for and what the label on your product of choice says. After allowing appropriately dwell time, take a micro-fiber towel and wipe the area clean.

What Are High Touch Areas

High touch areas are areas such as tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, sinks, etc.

Disinfecting Your Carpet

Hiring a Carpet Cleaning Professional that utilizes Truck Mount Steam Cleaning will provide the deepest level of cleaning and disinfecting available. A quality Truck Mount will create 220 degrees of hot water to deeply clean the carpet. At this time we are offering all of our client a free application of disinfectant to their carpets when cleaning. According to the CDC COVID-19 can get onto your shoes and be tracked into your home.
