Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
Wipe off soil, then use a product that is registered for the virus and safe for wood finishes. Check the label for contact time and test a small spot first. Heavily used or porous wood may need a professional's help.
Some homeowners policies cover cleanup if a covered event makes the property unsafe, but many do not cover routine illness cleaning. Read your policy or ask your agent what applies. Call the insurer before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
