COVID-19 Cleaning Service Basics
What is a Covid Cleaning Service? The answer is simple! Our covid cleanings offer the same comprehensive and meticulous cleaning you'd expect from us, but we now offer the option to select from one of our covid-specific extras.
Upon request, we offer UV disinfection services. Your cleaning professional will arrive with a handheld UV wand to be used on all touchpoints throughout the home (light switches, handles, knobs, and other places we forget about). If you're looking for a more comprehensive covid cleaning service, we also give you a choice to book a larger rotating UV lamp. With this service, we would come to your home, and while we're actively cleaning, we would also have a UV lamp running in the rooms we've finished in. This option is more comprehensive as the lamp is left to rotate, ensuring every single point in the room is sanitized. Both are excellent options if you're looking for covid cleaning services in NYC!
Why do we use this method for our covid cleanings?
UVC light disinfection is among the best ways to clean and sanitize your property against covid-19. This type of disinfection uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19.
Studies show that UVC disinfection kills up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19. The electromagnetic radiation disrupts the DNA of bacteria and viruses, rendering them unable to reproduce and causing them to die.
Every COVID cleaning includes one (1) bathroom, kitchen, common room and selected bedroom(s). You can always order more bathrooms and bedrooms cleaned. We also bring all cleaning supplies for FREE.
All our COVID cleanings include dusting and washing of all reachable surfaces, wiping the outside of kitchen appliances & cabinets, basic cleaning of the bathrooms, and vacuuming & mopping of all floors. For more details, the Maid Sailors' regular cleaning checklist is presented below. We have you covered!
