Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Bar Harbor, ME
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
