The Era of COVID-19 Decontamination
When a home, business, commercial or industrial space has been contaminated with a virus such as COVID-19 (or other highly infectious and contagious viruses & bacteria), it is effectively rendered uninhabitable or not available for use. The presence of coronavirus – a potentially harmful or deadly virus inside and/or at the exterior of your home or building, especially on high-touch areas such as counter-tops, doors, door handles, etc. – leaves your family, your staff or your clients vulnerable to infection or contagion. This calls for COVID-19 decontamination by an experienced, professional cleanup crew.


Coronavirus / COVID-19 Decontamination Training
At First Response we offer Professional COVID-19 Decontamination Training for employees in the workplace. As businesses start to reopen, it will become mandatory to take the proper procedures against coronavirus when cleaning your workplace in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection as much as possible. Our COVID-19 training fully covers how to properly decontaminate all surfaces and areas to prevent any further spread of coronavirus infection.

Our Proven Process to Fight COVID-19 Infection
At First Response, our COVID-19 decontamination in Ottawa and Kingston is a simple, effective & proven process. First we’ll make a site visit and provide a no-obligation estimate for coronavirus decontamination. Getting rid of any traces of COVID-19 and steps to prevent future coronavirus infection are the highest priorities. Next, we’ll book a day and time that works best with your schedule. We’ll let you know in advance what you’ll need to do on your end, e.g. preparing the premises for COVID-19 decontamination, when to vacate the premises, when you can return, etc. Then we’ll get to work, conducting a thorough coronavirus decontamination of all surfaces and areas to prevent further COVID-19 infection once the premises are again occupied. We’ll test the air & check high-touch areas for COVID-19 infection hazards, to ensure that a complete and thorough coronavirus cleaning has been performed. For homes, businesses, offices, stores, airbnb and more, First Response is the trusted choice for COVID-19 decontamination in Ottawa & Kingston.


Coronavirus / COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols
COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols have been established – and are being updated – at the highest levels, such as the WHO, CDC, Health Canada, Public Health Ontario & Ottawa Public Health. These coronavirus cleaning protocols focus on cleaning materials used to clean frequently touched surfaces in a workplace or home that may become contaminated with coronavirus. Routine cleaning is a vital part of any effective COVID-19 cleaning protocol. We use (and train for the use of) approved coronavirus-effective cleaners, disinfectants and (where available) disinfectant wipes.
The necessary frequency of COVID-19 cleaning will depend on the type of workplace, number of people in an area, ventilation, vulnerability to COVID-19 and other factors. High touch areas (door handles, light switches, rails, countertops, etc.) are the main target for coronavirus cleaning protocol and should be cleaned at least 2x daily. However any area that could come in contact with humans (directly or indirectly through airborne aerosols) has the potential for COVID-19 contamination. That’s why the coronavirus cleaning protocols we follow – both for our own COVID-19 cleaning as well as for our coronavirus cleaning training program – emphasize due diligence in establishing a COVID-19 cleaning regime that favours excessive caution.
Why Viral Decontamination Is Important
The global COVID-19 pandemic has shown the high priority of maintaining clean and sanitized premises to prevent coronavirus infection. Despite the best efforts, however, there are multiple weak links in the chain of sanitary conditions in any home, business or commercial location. The more people coming through, the higher the likelihood that COVID-19 contamination or coronavirus infection could occur. If contamination goes unchecked, coronavirus can spread from one
person to another by means of coughing, talking, etc., and infection from touching surfaces. In an office, store, or commercial / industrial facility, where many people are passing through the same space & touching the same surfaces, COVID-19 contamination or coronavirus infection can lead to a mass health & safety issue. COVID-19 decontamination is the only answer. It helps restore proper sanitizing to the premises and brings a sense of trust amongst your staff, clients and/or family.
