Wear gloves, clean visible soil from high-touch surfaces and then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus on the label. Keep it wet for the full contact time. Soft items such as bedding are washed on the warmest setting the fabric allows.
Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.
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.
Many EPA-registered disinfectants are listed for the virus, and soap and water break it down on hands. The right product depends on the surface. Always read the label for the germs covered and the time it must stay wet.
