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.
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.
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.
State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.
Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.
