It is no secret that cleaning and disinfection is vital to keep the coronavirus at bay. But in general, we tend to associate cleaning with disinfection. In reality they are two terms that are not entirely linked, as they are two different processes.
If we talk about cleaning, almost every product for that purpose can meet the requirement. But when it comes to disinfection, we should bear in mind that we need more abrasive products, such as bleach or sanitary alcohol. These two products prove very effective against the virus, because there are studies that have shown that they are capable of eliminating the protein and the ribonucleic acid of the SARS-COV-2.
Ventilation is also an aspect that should be taken into account. Keeping the rooms ventilated for at least 10 minutes a day for the regeneration of air would be highly recommended.
But what happens if we need to sterilize electronic items, delicate surfaces or fabrics?
In these cases, UV-C represents a very effective method to sterilize air and surfaces. This technology manages to eliminate 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and fungi, providing an effective solution for disinfection.
In a home for example, we can light our germicidal lamp once or twice a day. However, in places where there is a large passenger flow, we should disinfect them several times. Ideally, we could apply it between one person and another. For instance, in a doctor’s office, we can disinfect the space with UV-C between the visit of two patients.
This type of sterilization, together with daily cleaning, becomes the perfect combo to keep the Covid-19 at bay.
