When someone in your home or business has a contagious illness, routine cleaning isn't enough. Pathogens survive on surfaces for hours to months depending on the organism. Some, such as C. difficile spores, resist many common disinfectants. As an infectious disease cleanup company in Fort Myers, FL, we match the disinfectant and method to the specific pathogen so the space is actually clean.
Pathogens we decontaminate for
- MRSA and staph infections: common in gyms, locker rooms, athletic facilities and homes with wound care.
- C. difficile (C. diff): spore-forming bacteria that need sporicidal disinfectants. Frequent after hospital stays and in assisted living.
- Norovirus: extremely contagious and hard to kill. Common in schools, cruise-connected travel and restaurants.
- Influenza, RSV and COVID-19: respiratory viruses where high-touch surfaces and shared air are the focus.
- Hepatitis, HIV and other bloodborne pathogens: handled under our blood cleanup protocols.
Our disinfection process
We start by cleaning. Disinfectants don't work through dirt, body fluids or biofilm. Then we apply EPA-registered disinfectants chosen for the specific pathogen (for example, products on the EPA's List K for C. diff), and keep surfaces wet for the full contact time. Electrostatic sprayers let us reach complex surfaces such as chairs, keyboards and equipment evenly. High-touch points get manual attention. Soft goods are laundered or removed as appropriate. ATP testing before and after documents the result.
Homes, rentals and businesses
We handle residential infectious disease cleanup after an illness, a hospice death or a return from the hospital, as well as commercial disinfection services for offices, schools, daycares, gyms, medical and dental offices, restaurants and short-term rentals. On Fort Myers Beach, where vacation rentals turn over quickly, we can schedule disinfection between guests. We also serve Estero, Bonita Springs and the rest of Lee County.
When illness is combined with other hazards, we cover those too: unattended death cleanup, sewage cleanup or general biohazard cleanup.
Technician insight
The most common failure we see in DIY disinfection is wiping too fast. Most disinfectants need surfaces to stay visibly wet for one to ten minutes to kill what's listed on the label.
