Disinfection Service Singapore
Disinfection is primarily done to eliminate or reduce germs, microbes and bacteria so as to prevent transmission of diseases and illnesses. And sanitize the space where we work and live.
The type of disinfection service depends on several factors. The underlying reason to disinfect, the type of infection one is trying to fight/prevent and whether it is for a commercial or residential building.
In times of a viral outbreak, like SARS and the recent COVID-19, disinfecting the workplace and home may need to be done on an ad hoc or urgent basis. However, for certain industries it quite a norm for example hospitals, schools and laboratories are some places where disinfection is frequently carried out.
Singapore’s humidity also happens to be a breeding ground for pests. Common pests include rats, cockroaches, ants and flies. These pests may carry bacteria which can be harmful to humans. Besides, an infestation of pests can be a nuisance.
Typical Work Scope for Disinfection
If you have decided to engage professionals for your office or home disinfection, a site visit needs to be carried out to gauge the volume of work (number of floors, area in square feet, etc). Once engaged, a Disinfection service will cover the following –

Item that are frequently touched e.g. doorknobs and handles, tables, chairs, lift buttons and railings, light switches etc. are identified and sanitized

Steam vacuuming of carpeted floor
Disposal of Trash, wiping of bins
Washing of toilets, skins, accessories & fixtures
The use the elaborate equipment and cleaning products (strong disinfectant with active ingredients) are key to a proper sanitization service. Chemicals should be safe for homes with children.
Method Used for Disinfecting
Contrary to popular belief, disinfecting is not a difficult task, but it can be time consuming. At the workplace where there is a plethora of items that are frequently touched and common areas utilized, calling professionals to do the cleaning and disinfecting would be a better option.
Methods used for disinfecting are as follows:
Wiping down with a disinfectant. All items and surfaces are given a thorough wipe down.
ULV Misting or Fogging. A thin mist of chemical is sprayed to eliminate viruses and germs in exposed areas.
Steaming is most effective on soft furnishings such as carpets, sofas and mattresses. Since these surfaces cannot be wiped down, steaming is a conducive way of disinfecting.
