For over two years, the world has been dealing with a most difficult, highly contagious virus, the coronavirus. The virus has affected people of all ages, ethnic groups, and walks of life. A lot of research has been done to help people fight the virus being transferred from one person to another, and so there have developed specific ways to effectively disinfect both the home and other buildings and areas where people work and gather for pleasure. Ideally, it is best if professional coronavirus disinfecting services can be used to take care of the job with carefully trained workers. However, this is not always possible, so it is important to learn how to disinfect for coronavirus.

To start, you need to know the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting, as these terms are frequently considered the same process for getting rid of germs.

Cleaning: is this process where you remove surface dirt and stains. Depending on the Cleaning agent you use will determine how clean the surface will become. For example, soap powders, cleaning detergents, scouring pads, and magic erasers are great for cleaning. However, unless the cleaning agent specifically states it has chemicals to eliminate viruses and bacteria, they do not kill germs.

Sanitizing is a step closer to eliminating germs, as it kills bacteria on surfaces, but it still does not do the required job when it comes to killing viruses. Chemicals are often used in addition to cleaning techniques for sanitizing, and the EPA registers products helpful in sanitizing.

Disinfecting is the only answer when it comes to killing viruses like coronavirus. In the United States, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has issued a list of the chemicals that are registered products and can be used to disinfect. The list is titled list N for use against SARS-Co-V2 (COVID 19). If you are interested in learning the many choices for disinfecting, you can visit online at epa.gov/listn.

Due to the complicated nature of killing or eliminating the coronavirus, it is difficult and potentially dangerous for an untrained person to use chemicals powerful enough to do the disinfecting job satisfactorily. For this reason, many professional cleaning services, both residential and commercial, have added COVID 19 elimination to their training in order to offer this service.
