cheap is not always cheerful

Yesterday we received an inquiry from a new client requesting, what is / should be involved in a disinfection treatment where a "confirmed case" had been reported,enough to say the potential client was shocked when we advised the level of detail that goes into our services

Firstly, All of the our operatives who enter the area MUST wear the correct PPE - 2 over suites of which 1 must waterproof , full face mask, gloves, overshoes, - (gloves & overshoes) must be sealed to the over-suite, to give a 100% barrier between the operative and the infected area.

Secondly, the correct techniques must be used, in that the whole area + touch/contact points must be manually wiped down (a comprehensive list of items/area is issued see below)

Thirdly, all bio redundant materials must be disposed of correctly in accordance with authority regulations

We advised our potential client that we could treat his home and if further confidence was required, we can arrange for a swab tests to be taken by a 3rd party independent approved consultant, taken to their laboratory and the results will confirm the status of area after the treatment has been completed.
