THE COVID-19 CASES ARE INCREASING
As the numbers of confirmed cases of COVID-19 Coronavirus rise on a daily basis, it’s absolutely critical that we take the necessary precautions to help halt the spread of this serious illness which is taking lives. Media attention and continuous news updates have confirmed that the spread of this virus is transmitted through coughing, sneezing, and physical contact within close proximity. Our clients want to know whether they should be concerned about the possibility of the Coronavirus living on our carpets and upholstery – and the answer is yes, absolutely, you should be concerned and take proactive measures to keep your home COVID-19 FREE.
Unfortunately, you cannot drench your furniture and carpets with hand sanitizer or disinfectant like doorknobs, countertops, and other hard surfaces. One of the ways we can protect ourselves is by maintaining a hygienic home and working environment. During this pandemic, sanitation and disinfection control matters vastly, and there has never been a better time to hire a professional carpet and upholstery cleaning service.
WE’RE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THIS CRISIS
The Blind Carpet Cleaner specializes in cleaning specifically for environmental health, and our teams are properly equipped to help keep your home COVID-19 FREE. We adhere to strict guidelines to protect the health of both our clients and our team members.
Below are some of The Blind Carpet Cleaners safety protocols:
- Our carpet cleaners wear disposable hospital grade nitrile gloves, 3-layer surgical masks, and over the shoe covers, which have been proven effective as a preventative measure against COVID-19.
- Between client homes, all microfiber cloths, and scrubbing tools are replaced, ensuring that there is no pathogen-crossover between sites. The tools are returned to our premises where they are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- All of our carpet cleaning equipment, hand-tools, wands, cleaning buckets and spray bottles are disinfected after each use.
- The Blind Carpet Cleaner team members are provided with one step alcohol-based hand sanitizer, which they use regularly between homes.
- The interior of our vehicle is disinfected on a daily basis.
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION
Although there is currently no vaccine to prevent or cure the coronavirus disease, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) states “Current evidence suggests that novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.” They also state “For soft (porous) surfaces such as carpeted floor, rugs, and drapes, remove visible contamination if present and clean with appropriate cleaners”.
Therefore, along with cleaning and sanitizing your hard surface items, cleaning your carpet is definitely recommended by the CDC.
As COVID-19 can survive anywhere from 2 hours to 9 days on a surface, hiring The Blind Carpet Cleaner to help mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 is an effective start to ensuring the sanitation and safety of your home, health and well-being. Our professional carpet cleaners will work hard and diligently to remove viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens allowing you to have a safer environment.
