HomeServicesCOVID-19 Cleaning

We are still learning how long the virus lives outside of a person. A recent study found that the virus can live up to 4 hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to 2 to 3 days on hard surfaces like plastic and stainless steel. We don’t know yet what effect different conditions, such heat, cold, or exposure to sunlight have on the virus, which could make those times shorter.

You can protect yourself and others from COVID-19 by washing your hands and cleaning frequently used objects and frequently touched surfaces (like door knobs, railings, drinking fountains, and counters).

Yes, you should wear disposable gloves while cleaning, but remember not to touch your face with your gloves. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after removing your gloves.
