How Crews Decontaminate a Lakeway Property From Start to Finish
2. Set up the work zone
The crew isolates the affected rooms and limits airflow so germs do not travel. Waste containers and cleaning supplies are staged inside the zone.
3. Remove, then clean
Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.
4. Treat air and finish up
Odor sources are removed and the air is treated. Photos and notes are shared so the owner or insurer has a clear record.
