What Universal City Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
