Our professionals can safely and securely disinfect and decontaminate your facility and office space. We are open for business and ready to help.
Most asked COVID-19 disinfection questions:
What cleaners are better and why? (This answer might surprise you!)
Can daily cleaning of high touch surfaces really be the critical link to a safe work environment?
Is there a way to verify that a surface has been effectively cleaned?
What is the recommended testing method to verify cleaning? (Not all options are the same.)
Are there disinfectants that interfere with cleaning verification testing?
If you need expedited cleaning verification testing, which disinfectant should you use? (A commonly used disinfectant does not allow for expedited verification testing.)
We can help you answer these questions and make sure your business or school is prepared to handle your building disinfection the right way. Call us today to speak with one of our experts: (800) 508-8034.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Decontamination & Disinfection Services
Rapid Deployment Disinfection of Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
KERAMIDA’s team of professionals are standing by to provide Rapid Deployment Disinfection of indoor and outdoor spaces. Our procedures are designed specifically for elimination of SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of COVID-19. The chemicals we use are approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as effective in the destruction of SARS-CoV-2 structure and infectability.
Effective COVID-19 Disinfection
Our methodology targets the main encapsulating structure of the Coronavirus particle, literally causing it to fall apart and disintegrate.
Safe for Building Occupants
The chemicals we employ for disinfection services are safe for building occupants in the same day.
The process includes no lengthy ventilation phase or dangerous personnel exposure concerns.
Frequent Touchpoints & Ongoing COVID-19 Disinfection
KERAMIDA is able to perform disinfection of electronic equipment, including keyboards and other frequent touchpoints. If ongoing disinfection is desired due to internal or public-facing frequent touchpoints or other needs, KERAMIDA is prepared to provide frequent, focused disinfection which targets these areas.
Employee Training for Ongoing COVID-19 Disinfection and Verification Testing
As a cost-effective solution for ongoing COVID-19 disinfection, KERAMIDA can provide training to your existing or in-house cleaning personnel on the proper disinfecting protocols to follow. Our professionals can also provide training to your staff on proper sampling techniques in order to conduct COVID-19 disinfection verification testing. KERAMIDA can provide oversight and reporting management for verification testing.
*NEW: COVID-19 Disinfection Verification Testing
We are able to test directly for Coronavirus itself as a means of verification of disinfection.
As experts in indoor environmental decontamination, we provide Coronavirus cleaning verification testing using surface swabbing and microbiological analysis. Our disinfection methodology has been demonstrated effective and employs practices approved by the CDC. For clients looking for an additional demonstration of effectiveness, this extra step of disinfection verification ensures that your occupants are safe.
Direct identification of SARS-CoV-2 Virus by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
This methodology is designed to identify presence or absence the causal virus of COVID-19. Turn-around-time for this analysis is approximately 96 hours.
Additional Disinfection Verification Methodologies:
We offer two additional methodologies that we can use to test for verification of disinfection:
Surrogate testing for presence of viable bacteria.
This methodology utilizes environmentally available bacteria as a surrogate analog for coronavirus. Turn-around-time is approximately 3-6 days depending on the organisms recovered. This test does not deliver instantaneous results, but does provide kingdom or genus level identification of the organism(s). This test is best used to verify methodology to be employed for cleaning, not the true presence or absence of coronavirus.
Instantaneous evaluation of surfaces for chemical markers of microorganism presence.
This methodology provides users with relative quantification of microorganism activity in order to verify effectiveness of disinfection activities. This test delivers instant results, but does not identify the type of microorganism, if any are present. This test is best used to verify methodology to be employed for cleaning, not the true presence or absence of coronavirus.
