DISINFECTING AND CHEMICAL SAFETY
1 Only use cleaning and disinfecting products that are identified on EPA List N Disinfectants registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes COVID-19 httpswwwepagovpesticide-registrationlist-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
2 Obtain and review Safety Data Sheets for each product being considered to ensure that any product hazards and controls such as PPE are acceptable and that products are compatible with your propertyrsquos surfaces fixtures fabrics etc
3 Determine the need for specific tools and secondary containers for proper use of the product to ensure that sprays and other methods of application are performed correctly safely and per the manufacturerrsquos recommendations
4 Consider alternative product application equipment such as pressurized spray containers and electrostatic sprayers and ensure that whatever application equipment is used does not compromise the effectiveness of the sanitizer or disinfectant on the surfaces applied
5 Test samples of surfaces and fabrics throughout the property to ensure that products do not damage or stain surfaces and fabrics
6 Determine cleaning product vendorrsquos ability to assist in training employees in the correct mixturedilution (if necessary) use of appropriate secondary containers and labeling and use of cleaning product(s)

CLEANING METHODS
Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) Fogging Scope
Non therm al ULV fogging is a disinfecting method that sprays micro particles of disinfectant anti-viral solution It spreads throughout the room clinging to all surfaces porous non-porous vents and air handling systems ULV fogging will treat and disinfect areas that are impossible to reach with traditional deep cleaning alone
Electrostatic Spraying Scope
Electrostatic spray surface cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects Electrostatic spray uses a specialized solution that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer Subsequently the spray contains positively charged particles that can aggressively adhere to surfaces and objects Because the particles in the spray are positively charged they cling to and coat any surface
Deep Clean Scope
EPA-approved disinfectant can be applied to surfaces with saturated towels or sponges for germs parasites pathogens fungi and other infectious agents Completely wet pre-cleaned hard non-porous surfaces with EPA-approved disinfectant and allow to remain wet for 5+ minutes dwell time (refer to product label) Wipe area clean with a towel or sponge

DISINFECTING AND CHEMICAL SAFETY
1 Only use cleaning and disinfecting products that are identified on EPA List N Disinfectants registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes COVID-19 httpswwwepagovpesticide-registrationlist-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2

3 Determine the need for specific tools and secondary containers for proper use of the product to ensure that sprays and other methods of application are performed correctly safely and per the manufacturerrsquos recommendations
4 Consider alternative product application equipment such as pressurized spray containers and electrostatic sprayers and ensure that whatever application equipment is used does not compromise the effectiveness of the sanitizer or disinfectant on the surfaces applied
5 Test samples of surfaces and fabrics throughout the property to ensure that products do not damage or stain surfaces and fabrics
6 Determine cleaning product vendorrsquos ability to assist in training employees in the correct mixturedilution (if necessary) use of appropriate secondary containers and labeling and use of cleaning product(s)

CLEANING METHODS
Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) Fogging Scope
Non therm al ULV fogging is a disinfecting method that sprays micro particles of disinfectant anti-viral solution It spreads throughout the room clinging to all surfaces porous non-porous vents and air handling systems ULV fogging will treat and disinfect areas that are impossible to reach with traditional deep cleaning alone
Electrostatic Spraying Scope
Electrostatic spray surface cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects Electrostatic spray uses a specialized solution that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer Subsequently the spray contains positively charged particles that can aggressively adhere to surfaces and objects Because the particles in the spray are positively charged they cling to and coat any surface
Deep Clean Scope
EPA-approved disinfectant can be applied to surfaces with saturated towels or sponges for germs parasites pathogens fungi and other infectious agents Completely wet pre-cleaned hard non-porous surfaces with EPA-approved disinfectant and allow to remain wet for 5+ minutes dwell time (refer to product label) Wipe area clean with a towel or sponge

DISINFECTING AND CHEMICAL SAFETY
1 Only use cleaning and disinfecting products that are identified on EPA List N Disinfectants registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes COVID-19 httpswwwepagovpesticide-registrationlist-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
2 Obtain and review Safety Data Sheets for each product being considered to ensure that any product hazards and controls such as PPE are acceptable and that products are compatible with your propertyrsquos surfaces fixtures fabrics etc
3 Determine the need for specific tools and secondary containers for proper use of the product to ensure that sprays and other methods of application are performed correctly safely and per the manufacturerrsquos recommendations
4 Consider alternative product application equipment such as pressurized spray containers and electrostatic sprayers and ensure that whatever application equipment is used does not compromise the effectiveness of the sanitizer or disinfectant on the surfaces applied
5 Test samples of surfaces and fabrics throughout the property to ensure that products do not damage or stain surfaces and fabrics
6 Determine cleaning product vendorrsquos ability to assist in training employees in the correct mixturedilution (if necessary) use of appropriate secondary containers and labeling and use of cleaning product(s)

CLEANING METHODS
Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) Fogging Scope
Non therm al ULV fogging is a disinfecting method that sprays micro particles of disinfectant anti-viral solution It spreads throughout the room clinging to all surfaces porous non-porous vents and air handling systems ULV fogging will treat and disinfect areas that are impossible to reach with traditional deep cleaning alone
Electrostatic Spraying Scope
Electrostatic spray surface cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects Electrostatic spray uses a specialized solution that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer Subsequently the spray contains positively charged particles that can aggressively adhere to surfaces and objects Because the particles in the spray are positively charged they cling to and coat any surface
Deep Clean Scope
EPA-approved disinfectant can be applied to surfaces with saturated towels or sponges for germs parasites pathogens fungi and other infectious agents Completely wet pre-cleaned hard non-porous surfaces with EPA-approved disinfectant and allow to remain wet for 5+ minutes dwell time (refer to product label) Wipe area clean with a towel or sponge
