Swine Flu Decontamination and Disinfection
Since the Swine Flu scare, people have been desperate to keep their families and themselves safe from contracting the virus. Local stores quickly sold out of hand sanitizer and other sanitizing products which promise to kill germs. People began wearing hospital masks in case they made contact with a carrier of the virus. Schools and hospitals put extra precautions in place. Still, some people feared that their own home or business could be contaminated, and so people began hiring companies to come in and disinfect their living and working environments.
Companies who do home and office disinfection have seen a big boast in business since the Swine Flu scare started. When called to a job, these professionals will not leave any surface or room untouched and guarantee to kill 99.9% of pathogens, organisms and bacteria found on surfaces or even in the air. The process is continual and keeps the home free of contaminants for up to six months. In order to accomplish this task, specialized equipment is used to disperse disinfecting and sterilizing solutions into the air. Phenol is one of the main ingredients used in this solution.
The products used by professional companies have been approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for use in mold remediation, carpet disinfecting and cleaning air ducts. The solution is safe for surfaces and has no bad side effects besides a certain disinfectant smell that lasts for a few days. It is harmless and is a sure way of getting rid of any unwanted organisms lurking here or there.
There are some circumstances where people may want to seriously consider having their home disinfected. If you or a loved one is elderly, you have a higher chance of becoming seriously ill with the Swine Flu or other viruses if you contract it so having a home clean of pathogens is very important. Homes with small children are also higher risk. If you have cancer or a disease that inhibits the immune system, this might be a wise choice for you. Have you had friends and family over who exhibited the symptoms of the virus? A simple home disinfection will clear up any concerns.
It is perfectly natural for people to fear the Swine Flu, especially with how the media in the United States has addressed the issue. Getting your home or office disinfected is not terribly expensive, and it is a quick and easy process, which is why many are choosing to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to their health. If it keeps the family healthy and provides a little peace of mind, it’s certainly worth a few hundred dollars for six months of a bacterially clean living space.
