Deep Disinfection Services
Deep Disinfection Services for Portland Residential & Commercial Properties
In today’s environment, standard cleaning is often insufficient to fully protect the health of occupants, especially in high-traffic residential and commercial spaces. Surfaces and air can harbor invisible bacteria, viruses, and germs, leading to illness and outbreak. Businesses, multi-family housing, and healthcare facilities require a certified, comprehensive disinfection protocol to ensure a truly hygienic environment.
Our Deep Disinfection service provides a proactive, high-level sanitation solution. Our certified technicians use EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants applied via advanced methods like electrostatic spraying and ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fogging. These methods ensure 360-degree coverage, reaching surfaces and crevices that manual cleaning misses. This service is ideal for mitigating post-outbreak contamination, routine deep cleaning in schools and offices, and providing certified peace of mind to homeowners in the Portland area.
REVIEWS
Our 3-Step Deep Disinfection Process
Preparation and Surface Cleaning
We prepare the site by removing visible dust and debris, as disinfectants are only effective on clean surfaces. We seal off ventilation systems and sensitive equipment as needed.
Electrostatic Disinfection and Treatment
We apply EPA-registered, broad-spectrum disinfectants using electrostatic spraying technology. This electrically charges the disinfectant particles, causing them to wrap around and uniformly coat all treated surfaces for maximum germicidal effect.
Verification, Ventilation, and Re-entry
We ensure the disinfectant is left for the required dwell time to effectively kill pathogens. The area is then properly ventilated and tested (if required) to ensure safety before the space is cleared for re-entry.
Q&A
What is electrostatic spraying, and why is it superior to manual wiping for disinfection?
Electrostatic spraying applies an electrical charge to the disinfectant particles. This causes them to be magnetically drawn to all surfaces, including the back, sides, and undersides of objects (360-degree coverage). Manual wiping often misses crevices and high-touch areas, while electrostatic application ensures uniform, complete coverage for maximum effectiveness.
Are the disinfectants you use safe for use around children, pets, and sensitive electronics?
We use professional-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants that are selected for their safety profile (non-corrosive, non-toxic when dry) and effectiveness. We choose the appropriate chemical based on the environment (e.g., food service, residential, office) and ensure the required dwell time and ventilation are met before the space is safely re-occupied.
How long does the disinfection process take, and how long is the required "dwell time"?
The duration depends on the size of the space. Application is often quick (minutes per room), but the crucial dwell time (the time the chemical must remain wet on the surface to kill the pathogen) can vary from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the product and target pathogen. We factor this dwell time into the project schedule.
Is Deep Disinfection required after water or sewage damage in a Portland property?
Yes, absolute disinfection is non-negotiable after any water intrusion, especially sewage (Category 3 Black Water). The entire affected area must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to neutralize pathogens and bacteria before the structural drying and reconstruction phases can begin, safeguarding the property and occupants’ health.
Does the disinfection treatment remain effective on surfaces after the process is complete?
The immediate, primary purpose is to kill active pathogens at the time of application. Most professional disinfectants do not provide long-lasting residual protection. However, some specialized products can leave a micro-coating that inhibits microbe growth for a period. We consult with clients on selecting the appropriate product based on their needs.
