DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEAN, DISINFECT & SANITIZE

12/8/2022 (Permalink)

As businesses and stores begin to show rapid employee call outs due to sickness, and slowing of customer service due to flu season and the common cold circling the Pennsylvania area, it is important that your business is clean, sanitized, and disinfected regularly. The expectations of visitors, customers, and employees who come into establishments have evolved, and staying safe and healthy is a top concern. The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed what it means to be clean, and SERVPRO has developed a program to help businesses meet the new higher standard of clean that is now expected.

Do you know the difference between Clean, Disinfect & Sanitize?

Clean:  General surface cleaning, physically removes visible dirt, organic matter, viruses, fungi, and bacteria while using water, detergent, and physical scrubbing of the surface.

Sanitizing: Reduces but does not eliminate all the bacteria on a treated surface. To be a registered sanitizer, the test results for a product must show a reduction of at least a 99.9% in the number of each type of bacteria tested.

Disinfecting: Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill, destroy, or inactivate infectious or other microbes.

If you would like to have your establishment cleaned, sanitized and/or disinfected, call the team at SERVPRO, Building Service Maintenance. We are offering a proactive clean that is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned!

Rising Flu Activity! And What You Can Do to Stay Safe!

12/16/2021 (Permalink)

The CDC has released that there has been an increase of influenza viruses detected now that the holiday season is in full swing. The majority of these cases have been found in young adults and children, who commonly drive the community spread of the flu. Young adults coming home for the holidays from college or university may be putting the rest of your family at risk!

This is not particularly unusual for this time of year, as flu activity always starts to increase in October, peaks in February, but can last all the way into May. Last year’s flu season, 2020-2021, had historically low flu activity due to the strict COVID-19 prevention measures, such as mandatory masks and quarantine. However this year, as we begin to resume our normal routines, flu circulation is beginning to resume. This year the predominant strain, Influenza A (H3N2) indicates that this season will be a more severe one.

The best thing you can do for your family is to get vaccinated. In close living quarters, such as college campuses, classrooms, and shared restrooms, flu viruses are known to spread rapidly. Everyone 6 months and older is deemed safe by the CDC to get an annual flu vaccine. The flu vaccine protects against four flu viruses, including H3N2 - the one to be most concerned about this year. Antiviral drugs should be the second line of defense that can be used to treat the flu if you do get sick.

Meanwhile, SERVPRO of Southern Delaware County & West Chester can help! We can help prevent the flu from spreading at your home, school, or workplace by fogging with SERVPROXIDE, an anti-microbial disinfectant that fights agains airborne pathogen’s such as the flu and COVID-19!

Does your Drying Vent Need Cleaning?

Before and After Picture of a Dry Vent that was clogged then cleaned.

• When was the last time that you had your dryer vent cleaned?  Have you ever had it cleaned?  Did you know that overheated or clogged dryers cause 17% of all home fires in the US
• According to the US Fire Administration, between 2002 and 2004 clothes dryers counted for about 15,600 reported structure fires, 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” is the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings.
• Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct causing your dryer to exhaust at less than optimum efficiency. This creates potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide intrusion and the possibility for fires. If a gas clothes dryer is improperly vented or the exhaust duct itself is blocked by lint or debris, carbon monoxide can be forced back into your living space.
• A clean exhaust duct prevents heat, moisture and, in the case of gas clothes dryers, carbon monoxide from being trapped in your home. When this type of spillage occurs, energy, natural resources and time are all wasted because your appliance works too hard and runs longer than necessary. Moisture can also cause damage to drywall, wallpaper, ceilings and other building materials.
