Deep clean (COVID-19)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A deep clean, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a sanitation technology.[1] It can mean different things, depending on the industry[2] or jurisdiction. For example, the UK NHS care home guidelines[3] differ from the US CDC recommendations on "How to clean and disinfect".[4] The EPA has created a COVID-specific webpage on which are listed disease-specific pesticidal disinfectants,[5] and has created a webpage on "GUIDANCE FOR CLEANING AND DISINFECTING"[6] in the context of the April 2020 plan, "Opening Up America Again".[7][8]
In certain jurisdictions, a deep clean must be performed by staff "whom have been trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)".[3]
