How Does Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned Differ From Janitorial Cleaning?
6/3/2020 (Permalink)
Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned
Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned is a level of clean that goes far beyond janitorial and carpet cleaning. How you ask? SERVPRO of Tarrytown/Elmsford has experience dealing with biohazardous contaminants in the past and we have multiple EPA approved products.
Due to competitiveness in the industry, janitorial services usually employ people at minimum wage. One might think that gives them an edge but would you want an untrained, minimum wage person attempting to do this correctly in your house or business? We wouldn't. Our technicians have a high degree of training and experience performing hazardous type work, whether its bio-hazard or even our typical mold work. Our people definitely make a difference!
So how does it work? It’s grounded in our unique 3 C’s:
- Consult: Not all businesses are the same, so we’ll tailor a bespoke cleaning program based on the unique needs of each facility.
- Clean: Based on the agreed plan, an expert deep clean is initiated using our proprietary EPA-Approved Hospital-Grade cleaning solutions and always adhering to the leading level of cleaning and decontamination standards set by the CDC.
- Certify: You’ll know a business is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned by the shield posted on their front window. Along with digital emblems and other collateral, this beacon represents their commitment to the comfort and security of their employees, customers, and community.
Our process follows CDC and specific product recommendations so it may not be "ours" but we do own the correct equipment to do the job. Using a fogger is not a beginner's task and we have a long history of utilizing PPE too. How many janitorial companies have a Chemist on staff?
We have SERVPROXIDE...#100 SERVPROXIDE is a Hospital Grade EPA Registered water-based disinfectant. It contains the active ingredients of stabilized chlorine dioxide and quaternary ammonium chloride. It also contains a biodegradable, non-hazardous blend of surfactants to help solubilize the microbial proteins which allow the active ingredients to oxidize and kill the microbe more efficiently. #100 SERVPROXIDE carries the EPA’s lowest toxicity category and is NSF certified for direct food contact surface use. It has a wide spectrum of applications on both porous and hard non-porous surfaces. In addition, it has an extensive efficacy list which includes norovirus, rotavirus, and adenovirus. Finally, it is a strong and robust disinfectant without the safety issues of other disinfectants that have comparable kill claims.
We have some other great products available as well! Here at SERVPRO of Tarrytown/Elmsford we like to warn people about the dangers of using bleach. Mixing bleach with other products may cause serious health problems especially when mixed with ammonia, vinegar, or any other acid type cleaning material. Bleach can be toxic to every living being and our environment.
Lastly, unlike janitors and general cleaning services, we are licensed and insured to perform biohazard, mold, water, and fire cleanups.
