Fogging Myths - Coronavirus Cleaning

6/11/2020 (Permalink)

As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept through our nation and the number of cases grew, so did the need for qualified cleaning companies.   At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we are IICRC certified in the cleanup of biohazard pathogens.  Although this virus is new, we already had the products, experience and knowledge to understand this type cleaning process.  We are familiar with OSHA, EPA and CDC guidelines and have been following them regularly in our biohazard cleanups.  As the need for COVID-19 cleaning has grown, we have seen many companies expanding their service lines to take advantage of the new market.  Many of these companies are offering fogging only services as an effective method to fight the virus.  Don’t be fooled by these claims!  The CDC guidelines recommend wipe down (cleaning) and disinfection of all high touch non-porous surfaces.  The virus is spread by droplets released into the air, which then settle on surfaces and fogging alone will not properly disinfect the affected area.  At SERVPRO of Mobile, we take no shortcuts when it comes to Coronavirus cleanup.  You can rest assured you are receiving the highest standard of clean. Don’t settle for less than Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned!
