House Disinfection | FAQs

What's the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting services?

While often used interchangeably, these terms have distinct meanings.

Cleaning: Removes dirt, dust, germs, and grime from surfaces.

Sanitizing: Reduces the number of germs on surfaces to a safe level.

Disinfecting: Kills germs and bacterium on surfaces.

Disinfection is the highest level of cleaning and is crucial in preventing illness to spread. For routine cleaning, sanitizing is often sufficient. However, home disinfection is recommended in case of sickness or high-risk individuals.

How do I disinfect my whole home?

Disinfecting your entire home can be a daunting task. But you can do the job effectively with some planning and a handy checklist. If you'd like to tackle it on your own, we recommend listing all the rooms in your home. From there, identify all of the high-touched objects in the room.

For example, here's a checklist for your bathroom: Doorknobs - Light Switches - Counters - Cabinet Handles - Faucet Handles - Sink - Toilet Seat & Lever - Trash Cans - Shower/Bath Tub - Toilet Brush & Holder - Soap Dispensers - Electronics

Here are a few guidelines to follow:

Monitor Contact Time. Surfaces should stay wet for the entire contact time to kill the germs. See the back of your disinfectant for the recommended contact time.

Do Not Mix Solutions. Do not mix any disinfectants!

Wash Up. When you're done, wash your hands with soap and water.

Disinfecting your whole house can be overwhelming. But Merry Maids makes it easy with our comprehensive checklist. For complete, professional disinfection, contact Merry Maids to handle the job for you.
