Disinfection after an illness at home
After a long illness or a death from an infection at home, families often want the rooms disinfected before anyone moves back in or the home is sold. A cleanup company can do that thoroughly.

Cleaning and disinfecting are two steps
The CDC explains the difference simply. Cleaning removes dirt and most germs with soap, water and scrubbing. Disinfecting uses a stronger product to kill germs that remain. Clean first, because dirt blocks the disinfectant.
The surface has to stay wet for the whole contact time on the product label. Wiping it dry too early is the most common reason home disinfecting falls short.
What a company usually treats
- Bathrooms, bed frames, rails and other surfaces the person touched often
- Door handles, light switches and remote controls
- Medical equipment left behind, if it is not going back to a supplier
- Bedding, mattresses and soft furniture, which may need to be removed
What this page does not promise
A cleanup company can disinfect surfaces. It cannot promise that every germ in a home is gone, and it is not a substitute for advice from a doctor or the health district. If you have questions about a specific disease, ask your doctor first.
