Disinfecting vs. Cleaning - Learning the Difference
Disinfecting vs. Cleaning - Learning the Difference
When it comes to restoring a property after flooding or another disaster, there’s a big difference between simply cleaning the property and thoroughly disinfecting it. However, both processes are important to getting your home back to normal. Here’s what you should know.
Cleaning vs. Disinfecting
Cleaning is simply the process of removing dirt, crumbs, and other general debris — what you do when dusting, vacuuming, or sweeping. Disinfection goes deeper, using specialty disinfection products to kill viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and other contaminants that may be present in the home. For best results in property restoration, dirt and other debris should first be cleaned prior to disinfecting affected surfaces.
Best Practices For Disinfecting
To ensure that a property is going to be free of contaminants that can harm your family’s health, professional-grade, EPA-registered disinfecting products should be used. There are typically different products for different types of surfaces to ensure complete disinfection of the property. Microfiber cloths are used to wipe up disinfected surfaces, as they provide better surface contact and are less prone to spreading bacteria than a standard household sponge.
When cleaning and disinfecting are performed together, you can have confidence that your property is free of harmful bacteria and other pollutants.
