A clear plan for the surfaces involved
Cleaning and disinfection in Toronto should match the space and its intended use. First, identify the rooms and surfaces involved. Then ask BlackMold.ca about the work available, access and the products proposed. However, keep routine cleaning needs separate from a mold remediation plan.
- Identify the surfaces to be treated
- Discuss cleaning before disinfection
- Check product suitability and instructions
- Arrange access and time out of the work area
- Confirm what the service includes
Cleaning and disinfection: product and method
A disinfectant must be suitable for the surface and intended use. Therefore, follow its label, including application instructions and contact time. Also, ask whether materials need a different cleaning method. Do not assume a product claim applies to every organism or surface.
Coronavirus information
This disinfection information replaces our old coronavirus service page. Health Canada’s archived disinfectant list provides historical context; confirm current authorization and label directions for a proposed product. However, no service can promise a virus-free building.
Plan cleaning around room use
First, tell us the property type, affected rooms and access restrictions. If the issue involves visible growth or damp material, start with mold remediation information. Otherwise, contact us to discuss cleaning and disinfection in Toronto and the GTA.
For example, a shared office may need a different schedule from an empty room. Also, explain which surfaces people touch often. Then confirm when occupants can return, based on the products and work involved.
