How Crews Decontaminate a Bellefontaine Property From Start to Finish
2. Set up the work zone
The crew isolates the affected rooms and limits airflow so germs do not travel. Waste containers and cleaning supplies are staged inside the zone.
3. Remove, then clean
Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.
4. Verify and haul away
The team inspects every treated spot, and some add swab tests. Regulated waste leaves the property in labeled containers.

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Bellefontaine, OH
