Home Disinfecting and Sanitizing Service

Disinfecting a dirty surface does not do much. Grease, film and dust shield whatever is underneath, which is why spraying a counter and wiping it right away is mostly for the smell. Real disinfecting is two steps: clean the surface so it is actually bare, then apply disinfectant and leave it wet for the full contact time on the label before it is wiped or allowed to dry. That second part is the step people skip at home, and it is the step that matters.

We focus on the places hands go all day. Door handles and knobs, light switches, cabinet pulls, the fridge and microwave handles, faucet handles, toilet flush levers and seats, stair rails, remote controls, phone and tablet cases if you want them done, countertops, dining table tops and the edges of chairs people grab to pull them out. In bathrooms and kitchens we disinfect the full surfaces, not just the touch points.

The most common reason people call us for this is that someone in the house has been sick and is finally better. Other times it is a new baby coming home from the hospital, a grandparent coming to stay, a family member with a weaker immune system, or simply moving into a home and wanting a clean slate after the last occupants. It also pairs naturally with a deep clean or a recurring house clean, since we are already in the kitchen and bathrooms.

We will tell you plainly what this service is not. It is not biohazard, crime scene, sewage or mold remediation, and it is not hoarding cleanup. Those need licensed specialists, and if that is what you are facing we will say so rather than take a job we should not. Fragrance-free products are available on request, and if anyone in the home has sensitivities, tell us when you book.

Disinfecting is quoted per home, since a one bedroom condo and a five bedroom house with three bathrooms are very different jobs. Most clients add it to a deep clean or a regular clean. Call or text 562-367-1198 and tell us what is going on in the house, and we will tell you what makes sense.
