Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
Clean the surface first, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus. Follow the label for contact time and any rinse step. Different surfaces, such as wood, fabric and electronics, need different products.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
Infectious disease cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
