Bloodborne Pathogen
Blood and other potentially infectious materials should be dealt with immediately. Workers should assume that the spill is infectious with HIV, HBV or other bloodborne pathogens.
Procedure for Spills
- Put on single-use or reusable gloves
- Smaller spills can be blotted with paper and placed in a biohazard bag for disposal
- For spills larger than 100ml add TB effective disinfectant to the spill and allow it to sit before blotting. Again, place materials in a biohazard bag and dispose of according to government regulations
- To disinfect the area after a small spill, spray with a TB effective disinfectant and allow at least 10 minutes of contact time. The surface should air dry
- For large spills, mop the area with a TB effective disinfectant and allow at least 10 minutes of contact time. Remove excess solution with a mop and bucket and discard solution using hot water. Allow the surface to air dry and launder mop heads
- If disposable gloves are used, remove and place in a biohazard bag. Wash hands immediately using anti-bacterial soap
- If using reusable gloves, wash with antibacterial hand soap with the gloves on. If visibly contaminated, drop in a germicide solution before removal
- Complete spill area clean up with normal cleaning procedures; i.e.: mop/bucket/auto scrubber, using a disinfectant solution

Do I have to be home during the cleaning service?
No, You do not have to be home.
What if the duration time is less than what it supposed to be?
When you book Online you will be given an estimate of how long each work or tasks should be done. For eg. If you booked for “deep cleaning” and it came out to 6hrs and 15 mins, this does not necessarily mean we will stay at those hours. The cleaners or cleaning professionals can clean this more or fewer hours, depending on the speed of each cleaner. A good rule to remember is as long as everything was done and agreed upon by customers and cleaners then they can leave the premises knowing that everyone is in agreement and the place looks great to the standard that it should be. Also, The 6hrs and 15 mins are only about 3hrs or so by TWO cleaners. You have to consider that it is 2 manpower coming to do the tasks or the cleaning.
