Common Questions About Cleaning After Illness in Hillsborough
Does homeowners insurance cover disinfection?
Some homeowners policies cover cleanup if a covered event makes the property unsafe, but many do not cover routine illness cleaning. Read your policy or ask your agent what applies. Call the insurer before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
Who can advise during an outbreak?
State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.
How long does disinfection take?
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
How do you disinfect wood furniture for COVID?
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.
Do cleaners handle other illnesses, such as flu or norovirus?
Yes. Flu, norovirus, MRSA, C. diff and E. coli each call for the right product and technique. Crews match the disinfectant to the germ, since not every product works against every germ.
