NEW UPDATE 12.14.20 TO THE GUIDELINES SHOWN BELOW IN PDF FORM ON OUR COMPANY LETTERHEAD
We will call and conduct COVID questions prior to scheduling a measure or work appointment.
We will also repeat the same COVID questions upon arrival.
Our precautionary measures also include taking temperature on all persons present in the home, even if the person will not be in our work area.
We also reserve the right to protect and keep everyone safe, and we will postpone the appointment if anyone has a failing temperature reading, is coughing or shows other symptons or concerns.
We will disinfect our hands upon arrival and each time we leave and we return to the jobsite.
PRODUCTS CONTAINING BLEACH, ALCOHOL, OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ARE BEST AT KILLING OFF GERMS.
Per Donald Schaffner, Professor and Extension Specialist in Food Science with expert in microbial risk assessment and handwashing saids, “But an important general rule is that you shouldn’t immediately wipe a cleaning solution off as soon as you’ve applied it to a surface. Let it sit there long enough to kill viruses first.”
***Bleach Solution (only if appropriate for the surface)***
To make a bleach solution, mix:
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water
OR4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water
Use do not keep over 24 hours as it looses it disinfecting ability.
***Alcohol Solutions***
To make an alcohol solution, dilute:
(1) ALCOHOL with water (or aloe vera to make hand sanitizer) but be sure to keep an alcohol concentration of around 70% to kill coronaviruses. Leave on surfaces for 30 seconds.
LYSOL contains about 80%; these are all effective against coronaviruses.
(2) ISOPROPHYL (do not dilute it) and let it sit on the surface for at least 30 seconds to disinfect. Alcohol is generally safe for all surfaces but can discolor some plastics
(3) HYDROGEN PEROXIDE: Pour it undiluted into a spray bottle and spray it on the surface to be cleaned, but let it sit on the surface for at least 1 minute. Hydrogen peroxide is not corrosive, so it’s okay to use it on metal surfaces. But similar to bleach, it can discolor fabrics if you accidentally get it on your clothes. “It’s great for getting into hard-to-reach crevices,” Sachleben says. “You can pour it on the area, and you don’t have to wipe it off because it essentially decomposes into oxygen and water.”—Consumer Reports.org
