Cleaning vs Disinfecting?

What is the Difference Between Cleaning and Disinfecting?

In today's environment of a global pandemic, tenant, guests, hosts and landlords should be aware of the differences between cleaning and disinfecting their homes. 

​As a step towards creating a safer living environment, Vancouver Super Host has put together a few simple points for our community to keep in mind as they approach the cleaning of their living and working spaces. Thank you to Zoflora for their beautiful illustration above.

• Just because it looks clean doesn't mean it is disinfected
• Using the proper solutions is one of the main factors in removing contaminants, bacteria and viruses while certain household products are certainly are not strong enough.
• 60%+ alcohol will certainly kill 99%+ of  known viruses and bacteria on surfaces, reducing risk of spread and contraction of disease/sickness
• Time is your friend.  Give time before cleaning, provide sufficient time spent cleaning and allow surfaces to dry and settle after disinfecting for best results!

Hope this helps our community, stay safe Vancouver, Super Host Cleaners is here for you!
