Why Specialty Cleaning Services Are Recommended for Pathogens
When it comes to cleaning your commercial property, your first instinct might be to let your normal janitorial staff or service handle it. However, there are many reasons why you should choose specialty cleaning services from [Brand Name Short] for virus or pathogen cleanup in .
Risk of Infection
Once you know you have a dangerous pathogen in your commercial property, you realize that there is a risk of infection to whoever does the cleaning. Infection risk affects not only your employees or your janitorial staff, but also everyone they contact.
If you don’t have the personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary to protect your employees – or don’t know that your janitorial service does – it is smart to trust the cleaning process to someone who does. If you’re not sure what is the right PPE for this pathogen, it’s best not to take the risk.
Effective Cleaning Necessary
This is a case where you want to make sure that the cleaning is done right. Failure to properly clean the area can allow the pathogens to continue to grow and spread. If you’re not sure that your standard cleaning practices will be effective at stopping the spread of pathogens, it’s best to get specialty cleaning services.

What Are Pathogens?
Pathogens are organisms, viruses, and prions that cause disease. Pathogens can take many forms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and macroparasites.
Viruses invade cells to make copies of themselves, and in the process can cause serious illness. Bacteria are single-celled living organisms that invade the body and exploit its resources. Protozoa are a different type of single-celled organism that are often water- and foodborne, but can spread through direct contact with biohazards. Multicellular parasites like worms and arthropods can also cause illnesses. Some spread by eggs that get ingested, but others may literally crawl or hop onto people.
Common Viruses of Concern
Viruses are microbes that exist at the edge of life. They have genetic material like living organisms, but they can’t reproduce on their own – they hijack your cells to make copies of themselves and in the process cause serious damage to your body. Other times, the body’s immune response causes major damage to the body in response to infection.
In fact, viruses are responsible for most contagious illnesses of concern. Some of the viruses you might have to deal with in your commercial space include:
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- HIV
- Human norovirus
- Mpox
- COVID
- Influenza (flu)
Different viruses spread from host to host by different means. Many of these viruses spread by contact, such as hepatitis, HIV, and norovirus. Proper handling of biohazards, regular handwashing, and cleaning surfaces can essentially stop the spread of these illnesses.
Other viruses can be airborne, such as COVID and influenza. Proper cleaning procedures can slow the spread of these illnesses, but won’t stop them.
Common Bacterial Illnesses of Concern
Bacteria are single-celled living organisms that can live in your body. Although there are many helpful bacteria, some are harmful and cause illnesses by growing uncontrollably. Some bacteria release toxins that can kill your own cells, and bacterial infections can be fatal if not identified and countered quickly.
Some common bacterial illnesses you may need to combat in your commercial space include:
- MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- E. coli
- Salmonella
Bacterial infections are less likely to spread through the air. They are more likely to spread through direct contact and foodborne paths. Proper cleaning of hands and surfaces and proper handling of foods can largely stop the spread of bacterial illnesses.
Common Illnesses Caused by Protozoa
Protozoa are a large and diverse group of single-celled organisms. This group includes amoeba, flagellates, and paramecia. They cause illness by reproducing within the human body.
Most often, protozoa don’t spread through the air. Instead, they typically travel through water, food, or by parasitic hosts.
Common examples of illnesses caused by protozoa include:
- Malaria
- Giardia
- Toxoplasmosis
- Amebic meningoencephalitis
- Chagas’ disease
In addition, many protozoa can cause types of dysentery and diarrhea.
Because of the limited transmission methods of protozoa, specialized cleaning services can stop the spread of protozoa-related illnesses.
Multicellular Parasitic Illnesses
Multicellular parasites can cause illnesses directly by exploiting a host and/or excreting toxins that harm the host. Other times, multicellular parasites cause illness by spreading other infections, including viruses, bacteria, and protozoa.
Common multicellular parasites that might be controlled by thorough cleaning include:
- Tapeworms
- Scabies mites
- Fleas
- Lice
Addressing the presence of these pathogens in your commercial property can protect you, your employees, and your customers.
Virus and Pathogen Cleanup Process
In order to control the potential for infection at your property, it’s important to get professional cleaning that can adequately address the presence of pathogens. At [Brand Name Short], our team takes a thorough and effective approach to virus and pathogen cleaning at your property. The following sequence is typical, although not all sites will require all steps.
Isolation of Contagious Areas
After determining the level of infection, our team will don their PPE and begin isolating the contagious areas. The extent of isolation necessary depends on the type of pathogens they are dealing with. For some pathogens, it’s enough to close the door. Other times, it might be necessary to seal off a room from the HVAC system. If the HVAC system is compromised, it may be necessary to evacuate the entire building during cleaning.
Surface Cleaning
Cleaning is the first step toward eliminating pathogens. The level of cleaning required depends on the pathogens. Some pathogens can only live in biohazardous materials. Cleaning up these materials will remove the infection risk. Other pathogens can live on surfaces for a long time before finding a suitable host.
Our team will clean all surfaces that can potentially harbor pathogens.
Removal of Materials That Harbor Infection
In some cases, pathogens may infest soft and porous surfaces. This includes carpets, upholstery, and even drywall in cases where liquids allow infiltration. Once pathogens colonize these materials, disinfection may not be possible.
For some types of materials and infections, we may be able to take the materials to our restoration labs and treat them under special conditions that destroy the pathogens. In other cases, the pathogens cannot be removed. The contagious materials will have to be removed and destroyed.
Disinfection
Once surfaces are clean, they can be disinfected. The level of disinfection necessary depends on the specific pathogens that infected your property. Once disinfection is complete, it may be safe to move back into your commercial property, but in other cases the remaining work might be too disruptive.
Deodorization
Pathogens don’t always lead to the presence of odors in your commercial property. However, sometimes biohazards that hosted the pathogens may have left an odor. Cleaning and disinfection will normally remove the odors, but if odors persist, our team will take extra steps to make sure they are eliminated.
Repair and Restoration
If materials had to be removed because they couldn’t be adequately cleaned, our team can handle any repairs and restoration required on your commercial property. This may be something as simple as laying replacement carpet or as complicated as a full reconstruction of the property.
The ability to provide full restoration sets JRCC Damage Restoration Experts apart from many specialty cleaning services.
Safe Disposal of Infectious materials
Finally, it’s important to dispose of any infectious materials according to strict safety guidelines, federal rules, and local codes. At JRCC Damage Restoration Experts, we understand the proper disposal procedures for all types of infectious materials, and we will handle it properly to protect your business from fines and penalties.
