Coronavirus PrecautionsCleaning for a Cause takes the health and safety of it's employees and customers seriously. Due to the recent outbreak of coronavirus we have provided all of our cleaning staff for both residential and commercial accounts with a hospital grade disinfectant. It kills antibiotic resistant viruses and bacteria including human coronavirus. This will be used on all hard surfaces with the exception of glass as it is not glass safe. On glass we will be using an ammonia based glass cleaner to disinfect the surface. Rags and mop heads are washed with bleach daily and are not used between homes and businesses. Disposable gloves are used at all locations and are changed between locations. While we cannot guarantee to stop the spread of the virus, we will do our best to help the process. If you have any questions or concerns or if you would like a copy of the pdf file explaining the product being used, please contact us via email cleaning4acause216@outlook.com.
