Our finish removal and floor preparation procedures are all done wet or damp to help minimize the generation of airborne dust.
The amount of time will be contingent on the size of the area that needs to be cleaned, the soil levels and the processes used, either low moisture, portable extraction, or truck-mount extraction. A trained ServiceMaster Clean carpet technician will then help you choose a program that best meets your needs and schedule.
A common misconception is that cleaning and disinfection are one and the same. In reality, they are two different processes which achieve related results but not the same results. Cleaning is the removal of visible dirt and soiling, for example the coffee ring on a kitchen counter. While cleaning may remove pathogens from surfaces by wiping them away, it does NOT kill pathogens. Disinfection, on the other hand, does KILL pathogens on surfaces through the use of chemicals. As such, both processes are used hand-in-hand — first cleaning, then disinfection — in infection control efforts. Please note — not all disinfectants are created equally! Typically, disinfectants are developed to kill certain types or classes of pathogens. As such, ensure that the disinfectant used in your facility has been approved to treat your pathogen of concern.
