COVID-19 Cleaning Services

If an employee, customer, or patient has entered your building or office with COVID-19 symptoms, we offer COVID-19 cleaning services to help remove any worry about contamination or spread.

First, what should you do?

Stay calm. You need to take prudent steps to protect yourself, your team and your business without overreacting. We will help you.
Isolate the area the infected person was in. This could be as simple as closing the door or keeping others out of the area. If you have an at-risk person on your team with underlying health issues, it may be a good idea to send them home until we’ve disinfected.
Everyone who had contact with the person should wash their hands and disinfect any personal workspaces they touched after contact with the person.
Call us at 970.800.3801
We’ll ask some questions and make a pre-assessment of your risk. We may come to your location as part of this assessment.
From there we’ll deploy the appropriate resources to clean and disinfect the space so that you can continue to conduct business. Depending on the assessment, you may need to close until our work is completed. We understand the detrimental impact this would have and will only recommend it when absolutely necessary.

COVID-19 Cleaning Services and Decontamination Process

The Total Facility Care COVID-19 Special Response Team has been trained on the COVID-19 commercial cleaning and decontamination protocols outlined by the Global BioRisk Advisory Council® (GBAC). We’ve conducted numerous disinfections of offices and buildings exposed by people who were COVID-19 positive or displayed symptoms.

We’ll take the following steps as outlined by the GBAC to disinfect your office or building and return it to operating condition as soon as possible:

Pre-assessment – Determine the level of decontamination.
Pre-disinfecting – Knock down the infectious agent prior to entering the site.
Load Reduction – Remove any visible contamination and/or grossly contaminated items.
Detailed Forensic Cleaning – Meticulously clean surfaces.
Professional Disinfection – Ensure dwell time of the disinfectant and pay special attention to common touch points.
Post-Site Assessment – Provide quality control to ensure the safety of the environment.

After decontaminating, we will certify that our team has assessed your building and cleaned it at the appropriate level. We will give you a written report with the process and areas cleaned. This will ensure you are in regulatory compliance and protect your business should a question arise from an employee or get escalated to a regulatory agency. More importantly, you can assure your team that you’ve taken every reasonable step to provide them with a healthy and clean workplace.

Cleaning Levels

Touchpoint Cleaning

We will work with you to craft a solution that keeps you and your team healthy that is also budget friendly. Touchpoint cleaning typically includes all the items people touch during the workday.

Doors
Handles
Restroom fixtures and dispensers
Drinking fountains and water coolers
Kitchens, including cabinetry pulls and appliance handles
Desks
Mice and keyboards
Conference tables
Remotes
Chair arms
Other high-touch items unique to your space

Deep Cleaning

Deep cleans are ideal for businesses with regular cleaning services that want a periodic scrub down or those that really want their office or building to feel clean to instill confidence in their employees. We will craft a specific plan for your office or building.

Cleaning light fixtures
High dusting and cobweb removal
Carpet cleaning
Floor refinishing and scrubbing
Window cleaning

COVID-19 Decontamination

This usually involves an exposure in the previous 72 hours and your need to reopen quickly. We’ll do all of the items in the touchpoint clean plus our recommendations based on our assessment.

TFC Technicians in full PPE
Electrostatic spray disinfection (electrostatic spray wraps around all surfaces of an object even parts of it facing away from our technician)
Manual deep clean – hand wiping each surface
Forensic clean (every object is touched, moved and cleaned)
Professional Disinfection – a final pass through making sure all areas have been disinfected

When we’re done, your office or building will really shine, helping to give your employees peace of mind. We’ll send you a report on what was done and that the building is safe to reoccupy.

Daily Office Cleaning

We provide a thorough office cleaning daily to reduce the incidence of bacteria and viruses in your office or building to help protect the health of employees and visitors:

What Else Can You Do?

Encourage people to wash their hands frequently and cough or sneeze into their elbow. It seems almost too simple, but it is the most effective way to protect yourself. We can disinfect every single surface, but as soon as someone touches that surface it is contaminated.
Require mask wearing when around others to reduce their chances of infection, even if the other person is contagious. This isn’t political. It’s the best practice we used prior to the pandemic in operating rooms and sterile environments.

Station hand sanitizer in public areas such as lobbies and break areas.
Place disinfectant wipes or cleaning materials in your conference rooms for use between meetings and clients. You may want to provide these for staff to use on their personal work areas as well.
If clients come in with a cough, provide them with a mask to wear while in the building. Participation is usually low unless your reception staff enforce this.
Send sick employees home.
