- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling

2. Protect people and property
Gear goes on, pets and residents stay out and the work zone is marked. Valuables and keepsakes are set aside for the family.
3. Remove, then clean
Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.
4. Treat, deodorize and hand off
Disinfectant goes on every cleaned surface, and odor is treated at its source. The team walks the owner through the finished space and the records.

What Miami Shores Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
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 considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
Does insurance cover decontamination?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
