SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg Cleans and Disinfects All Surfaces

While we pay extra attention to high touch surfaces such as banisters and card readers, we also clean and disinfect surfaces that are hidden from view, such as air ducts (from which germs can spread) and from behind equipment. Germs go where the air goes, so we are don’t want to miss any spots.

Clean means to get rid of visible dirt or other contaminants. A good scrubbing does kill most germs, but not all. Getting rid of all the germs requires disinfection.

Disinfect means to kill any remaining germs, with germs including bacteria, viruses, and other microbial contaminants. Our technicians know which disinfectant to use on what materials, and how long to let them work.

Disinfection Came Before Germ Theory

It makes sense that the big push for disinfectants came after the realization that there were germs to kill, but the idea of disinfection came earlier than that realization.

Ignaz Semmelweis, a physician in 1840s Vienna, was among the early proponents of antisepsis before the idea of sepsis arose. He and others (such as Florence Nightingale, a statistician, and a pioneer in nursing), he believed that dirt, blood, or something caused illness. He ordered students to wash their hands and disinfect them (in carbolic acid) before assisting women in births. The death rate dropped dramatically (to under 2%).
