Questions About COVID-19 Cleanup in Lake Elmo

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.

Can soft items like couches and mattresses be disinfected?

Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.

Do restaurants need COVID surface cleaning?

A restaurant may need it after a confirmed case or an outbreak. The work covers tables, menus, prep surfaces, restrooms and door handles, using products safe for food areas and following the label.

How do you disinfect wood furniture for COVID?

Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.

Will an insurer or landlord need proof of cleaning?

Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.

Who can advise during an outbreak?

State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.
