Let us help your business!

As businesses and stores continue to nagivate their way through operating differently the last two years, we’re all experiencing a new kind of normal. The expectations of visitors, customers, and employees who come into establishments have most definitely evolved, and staying safe and healthy is a top concern. The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed what it means to be clean, safe, or healthy. Due to previously unforeseen times such as these, SERVPRO has developed an antipathogen program to help businesses meet the new higher standard of clean that is now expected.

Do you know the difference between Disinfect, Sanitize & Clean?

Clean: General surface cleaning, physically removes visible dirt, organic matter, viruses, fungi, and bacteria while using water, detergent, and physical scrubbing of the surface.

Sanitizing: Reduces but does not eliminate all the bacteria on a treated surface. To be a registered sanitizer, the test results for a product must show a reduction of at least a 99.9% in the number of each type of bacteria tested.

Disinfecting: Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill, destroy, or inactivate infectious or other microbes.

If you would like to have your commercial property or offices sanitized and/or disinfected, call the team at SERVPRO of Ames. We are offering a proactive clean that is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned!
