Keeping Safe at Home and in the Office

March 16, 2020 Posted by Jani-King International

While Jani-King’s focus is on commercial properties, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has provided consumers with a list of disinfectants that can help keep them safe from viruses in their home. The list includes products with emerging viral pathogen claims and those with human coronavirus claims. If a product with an emerging viral pathogen claim is not available, use a product with a coronavirus claim.

KEEPING SAFE AT HOME AND IN THE OFFICEThe EPA says it’s best to follow the instructions on the disinfectant’s label and pay attention to the how long the product should be on the surface you’re cleaning.

Here are some common registered disinfectants on the EPA’s list:

Clorox Multi Surface Cleaner + Bleach

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes

Clorox Commercial Solutions® Clorox® Disinfecting Spray

Lysol brand Heavy-Duty Cleaner Disinfectant Concentrate

Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist

Lysol brand Clean & Fresh Multi-Surface Cleaner

Purell Professional Surface Disinfectant Wipes

Sani-Prime Germicidal Spray

One important fact to note, however:
Handwashing with soap and water is still the best way to prevent transmission of the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That’s because from what is known so far, the novel coronavirus is thought to spread primarily by people and their respiratory droplets — think coughs, sneezes, spit.

For commercial properties, Jani-King offers three options for disinfection

  1. Electrostatic Spray Application
    Electrostatic spray cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects. As the chemical exits the electrostatic sprayer, it is given a positive electrical charge. The droplets then become attracted to all negative surfaces, completely covering the visible area, underside and backside, with the disinfectant. Proper PPE will be used when disinfecting.
  2. Non-electrostatic Spray Application
    Equipment includes battery operated and pump sprayers that do NOT produce a positive charge. In this case, when the disinfectant chemical is sprayed on a surface and the dwell time is reached, the chemical must then be wiped from the surface. Proper PPE will be used when disinfecting.
  3. Manual Disinfection Application
    Standard cleaners and water will be used to pre-clean surfaces prior to applying an EPA-registered disinfectant to frequently touched surfaces or objects for appropriate contact times as indicated on the product’s label. Proper PPE will be used when disinfecting.
