We are living on a time which certainly is a milestone in human history. The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus has made us rethink the way we see the world, our sense of community and, mainly, our hygiene practices. From what we learnt of the virus and its disease, Covid-19, it is known that great sanitation is necessary to combat its propagation and, consequently, its damages to the country’s population and economy.
We have seen many recommendations on personal hygiene ever since the number of contamination cases has taken off in London since March of this year. Also, the whole series of safety rules determined by the authorities in order to the reopening of businesses, primarily, the public ones.

Nevertheless, even the most rigorous hygiene criterion may not be compared to the efficiency of a professional hygiene service. We will discover why in a moment. Before, we will approach the decontamination processes in houses and businesses.
Decontamination of Environments
As known, the new coronavirus can survive on surfaces for many hours and even days. Even though science have not yet discovered more details about this behaviour, this fact already explains and justify the importance of cleaning and decontamination of house and business environments, among others. That is why, after the cleaning (removal of organic matter and other residues on surfaces), the decontamination must be done.
The decontamination process corresponds to the cleaning continuation, but in a deeper way. It makes environments safer and with lower risk of contamination.
The steps of this process may vary according to the environment. For instance, offices and hospitals take different steps of decontamination due to their activities and uses. It takes a specialized company to evaluate the environments and identify the necessary methods to find the safest and appropriate way for everyone that attends such places.
Efficiency methods
At this point, here in England, the goal is to avoid that the gradual return is not followed by a new coronavirus wave. Thus, some techniques and methods are indicated such as decontamination, cleaning and environment sanitizing.
Even though they sound the same, these terms reveal differences with each other. They all efficient terms, but today we will focus on decontamination.
This process is related to the adoption of a set of practices which involve materials manipulation, surfaces contact and other items from home, businesses, hospitals or any other enterprise. In order to decontaminate in a biosafety way is necessary, among other things, to follow existing norms and protocols, using products allowed by law for such purpose.
Why hire a professional cleaning service?
As seen before, the decontamination process goes beyond the regular day by day cleaning practices. You must follow the safety agencies recommendations so this process is done efficiently in this pandemic scenario and afterwards also.
Nowadays, the cleaning and decontamination of environments must reinforce and count on the following practices:
Increase of the frequency of disinfection mainly of public areas;
Use of Individual Protection Equipment (IPE);
More frequently hand sanitization for professionals.
When hiring a specialized company you guarantee that all technical standards will be followed because the professionals are qualified and trained, have all allowed products and also all the required safety equipment.
