WHAT IS COVID-19?
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.
WHAT SERVICES DO WE OFFER FOR DEALING WITH COVID-19?
ServiceMaster Clean, ServiceMaster Restore, and ServiceMaster Recovery Management are offering a disinfecting service with a focus on high touch points, horizontal surfaces, and floors. These areas have been identified as the primary suspect areas of transmission outside of direct person to person transmittal.
WHAT PRODUCTS ARE BEING USED FOR DISINFECTING?
The primary product being utilized is a Chlorine Dioxide disinfecting solution. Although no product is registered with the CDC or EPA proven to kill COVID-19, this product has been successful in killing viruses in the Coronavirus family along with other tougher to kill bacterial strains such as C-Diff, Mrsa, and Tuberculosis.
WHAT METHODS DO WE USE?
Depending on the environment we are disinfecting, and if there has been a known case in the building, we customize each individual disinfecting application to meet the needs of the environment we are working in to maximize the effectiveness of the services being provided.
WHAT DOES A DISINFECTING SERVICE COST?
On average the price to provide disinfecting services ranges between $1.10 per square foot to $1.35 per square foot for local work. The price range rises as we move to markets outside of our general service areas and incur costs for mobilizing crew, mobilizing equipment, mobilizing consumables, and lodging for crew. A large factor in both local and non-local pricing is the cost of personal protective equipment needed to protect our most valuable resource, our staff, during the COVID-19 disinfecting process.
