After an illness at home or work
Infectious disease disinfection
After someone has been seriously ill at home, or an illness has gone through a workplace, an independent biohazard company can disinfect surfaces and remove contaminated materials.

Matching the product to the germ
Disinfectants are not all the same. Each label lists the organisms it has been shown to work on, and the EPA keeps lists of products for specific germs, such as norovirus, MRSA and C. difficile spores (EPA).
Ask the company which product it plans to use for your situation, its EPA registration number, and how long surfaces will stay wet. A product only works if it stays on the surface for the time on the label.
Questions
Do I need this after every illness?
No. Ordinary household cleaning is enough for most illnesses. This service is for heavy contamination, such as blood or body fluids, or when a doctor or employer asks for it.
What about soft furniture and bedding?
Some items can be laundered or treated; others are safer thrown out. Ask the company to explain which and why.
