Before you book
Five questions to ask any disinfecting services provider
- Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
- Do the same cleaners come each visit, or does it rotate?
- Is pricing a flat quote or hourly, and what changes it?
- What happens if I am not happy with a clean?
- Do you bring your own supplies, and are they pet- and kid-safe?
Pick the right fit
Recurring or one-time?
Choose a recurring plan if
you want a consistently clean space with less effort. Recurring disinfecting services keeps every room maintained on a schedule, so it never piles up.
Choose a one-time deep clean if
you are preparing for an event, moving in or out, or want a reset before starting a recurring schedule.

FAQ
Disinfecting Services questions
What is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting?
Cleaning removes dirt and grime from a surface. Sanitizing lowers the number of germs to a level considered safe. Disinfecting uses an EPA-registered product to treat a surface for a set contact time. The order matters: you clean a surface first, then disinfect, because disinfectant does not work well on top of dirt. We do both on the surfaces that need it.
What kind of disinfectants do you use?
We use EPA-registered disinfectants and follow the dwell times printed on the label so the product has the contact time it needs to work. We can match the product to your facility, including fragrance-free formulas for medical, dental, and sensitive environments. If you have a required product list, bring it to the walkthrough.
Do I have to book disinfecting as a separate service?
No, and most of our clients do not. The common setup is a high-touch disinfecting pass folded into your recurring cleaning, so the same team handles both on one schedule and one invoice. We also do one-time and periodic disinfecting visits when that fits your needs better.
Which surfaces do you focus on?
We focus on high-touch points: door handles, push bars, light switches, shared phones and keyboards, conference tables, elevator buttons, break-room and vending surfaces, restroom fixtures, and front-desk counters. These are the surfaces hands land on all day, so they are where disinfecting does the most good.
