Sanitation And Disinfection Services
Clean it.
Prior to disinfection, a thorough clean will undertaken by our trained professionals. It’s important to clean before disinfecting because dirt and grime can reduce the ability of disinfectants to kill germs. We use a high strength detergent, specifically designed to break up oil and grease. This ensures that when we apply our disinfectant, it will ensure that all surfaces are disinfected.
During COVID-19, our sanitation and disinfection services have become extremely popular at all venues including gyms, offices, pubs and clubs. We have been working hard to keep up with the current demand.
Disinfect it.
We use a product which is QAT based. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QAT) take longer to work but provide longer lasting protection. They are best applied and left on the surface in order to (in effect) kill the virus. They disrupt the envelope membrane, which exposes the nucleocapsid, affecting it‘s ability to infect subsequent cells.
In general, it can last weeks but there is some advice to go along with that as we like to be realistic – for two reasons, if the area is high use then the product will get worn off, plus it has a microbial load limit so once enough contamination has been reintroduced then it will not be as effective.
