Many EPA-registered disinfectants are listed for the virus, and soap and water break it down on hands. The right product depends on the surface. Always read the label for the germs covered and the time it must stay wet.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
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.
Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
Some homeowners policies cover cleanup if a covered event makes the property unsafe, but many do not cover routine illness cleaning. Read your policy or ask your agent what applies. Call the insurer before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
