COVID 19 Cleaning
At GreenMark Janitorial we were quick to meet the unexpected demand the pandemic placed on our customers. Our expert technicians developed safe, effective deep cleaning methods to protect our clients and their customers/residents against the highly contagious virus. Today we continue to use that same technique, whether you need to sanitize or deep clean due to a COVID-19 outbreak, to protect against outbreaks or simply to ensure you use proper disinfecting and sanitizing methods for your organization.
Following Best Practices and Protocols
GreenMark follows the guidelines mandated by health officials including the World Health Organization (WHO) and Health Canada. There are many methods of disinfection, and you can be assured that your technician is trained to do each in the recommended manner. Our technicians also use appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for both their safety and yours. We use the best Deep Disinfecting, Sanitizing and Fogging methods in the industry to ensure your premises are germ-free to reduce the risk of illness for your staff, visitors, and customers.
The Difference Between Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sanitizing
It is very important to remember cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing are three different processes:
- Cleaning: Cleaning removes dirt and grime from surfaces, including some organic matter. However, it does not effectively kill bacteria, viruses and germs.
- Sanitizing: Sanitizing uses chemical products or special devices to kill most but not all germs. As well, sanitizing does not remove dirt. An example of a sanitizing method would be steam cleaning or using special germ-killing cleaners.
- Disinfecting: This process uses chemicals that kill 99.999% of germs on hard, non-porous surfaces or objects but doesn’t work as well on softer surfaces. Disinfectants are actually a form of antimicrobial “pesticide” and therefore can only be used when approved by Health Canada, following proper methods. It kills germs on contact but does not clean surfaces.
As you can see, no one solution works for your cleaning needs. Therefore, when dealing with COVID, using a cleaning method that encompasses all three is required.
Effective Deep Sanitizing & Disinfecting Services
Whether you require a one-time cleaning due to a COVID outbreak when someone tests positive after a recent visit to your site, or you want ongoing preventative services, we can provide the COVID-19 cleaning procedures you require. We offer cost-effective solutions to keep you safe while reducing the impact on your budget. Our team wears proper PPE and uses safe, effective cleaning and sanitizing methods to disinfect all high-touch surfaces as well as your entire environment using the latest Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) fogging technology. This method delivers a powerful micro-organism-killing invisible “fog” that is tough on germs but safe for the work environment. It also won’t damage walls, flooring, equipment or furniture. Because this method does not use heat, it is residue-free and people-safe.
What is ULV?
Our revolutionary equipment is the newest technology pairing electrostatic fog with disinfectants and sanitizers. This is crucial when dealing with COVID as it addresses airborne as well as surface-dwelling microorganisms that spread throughout a space when someone coughs, sneezes or even just breathes without a mask. The system uses low-pressure, large volumes of air that transforms liquid into droplets creating an invisible fog in the environment. The droplets are tiny ranging from 1–150 μm. As a result, fogging is one of the most effective ways to get rid of tiny viruses and germs. However, it is very important to keep in mind that ULV technology must be used with products connected to the Drug Identification Number issued by Health Canada, based on the manufacturers’ directions. If not, the treatment will not be effective.
Health Canada Approved
GreenMark’s cleaners are trained in using ULV technology, using the right disinfectant to kill viruses and germs approved by Health Canada. We ensure the sanitizing process is non-toxic and eco-friendly yet still effectively disinfects, sanitizes and/or decontaminates any workspace, large or small.
