Covid-19

INFORMATION CENTER

At JOB DONE, the safety of our team members, our clients, and the public is always of primary importance in everything that we do. As a result, we remain vigilant in monitoring the most up-to-date safety, infection control and cleaning protocols recommended by global experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and others.

Prevention of COVID-19

We all play a role in helping to prevent the spread of viruses. The CDC recommends daily preventive actions to help prevent the spread of any respiratory disease – be it COVID-19 or the flu – including:

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

Routine Environmental Cleaning

With the exception of specific guidelines in certain settings such as healthcare facilities and airlines, the CDC recommends performing the following routine environmental cleaning that may help prevent exposures to acute respiratory illness, including COVID-19:

Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops and doorknobs. Use cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas and follow the directions on the label.
Establishing a routine of continuous cleaning.
If possible, provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down before each use.

Cleaning and Electrostatic Disinfection

Outside of the healthcare context and other special settings, in areas where people with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 have visited, CDC recommends the cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection. For offices and other facilities where people are not housed overnight, CDC recommends that:

Areas used by ill persons be closed off, doors and windows be opened and, if possible, cleaning and disinfection not occur for up to 24 hours.
Cleaning staff to disinfect all areas (e.g., offices, bathrooms, and common areas) used by the ill persons, focusing especially on frequently touched surfaces.
Disinfection occurs with most common EPA-registered disinfectants, diluted bleach solutions (if appropriate for the surface), or alcohol solutions with at least 70 percent alcohol. Porous surfaces should be disinfected with products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims.

During this time, the main concern in sanitizing/disinfecting has become the recommended 10-minute wet contact time that’s needed on hard surfaces to ensure kill of bacteria/viruses. At JOB DONE, in addition to strictly adhering to the guidelines expressed above, we are also offering the implementation of our electrostatic sprayers. We recognize in most instances, cleaning companies are spraying a surface and wiping it almost immediately. When your facility is entirely empty, we come in and spray an entire area and return back to the starting point to wipe clean high-touch zones such as keyboards and other common desk equipment, telephones, armrests on chairs, appliance handles, etc. providing the most thorough sanitation and disinfecting available, assuring that we meet the 10-minute CDC guideline for hard surfaces.

JOB DONE is currently providing electrostatic disinfection services for its clients on an accelerated basis. If any of these are needed at your facility, please contact JOB DONE immediately at (954)801-9431.
