Practical Cleaning Procedures While there are currently no registered products on the market with a specific claim to eliminate Ebola Virus with the EPA, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends hospital-grade disinfectants to clean and disinfect your facility. Besides personal hygiene, it is critical that facilities are reviewing their current cleaning procedures and implementing proper products (EPA registered disinfectants) into their cleaning program to disinfect their floors, restrooms, tables, chairs, desks, etc. According to the CDC: Use a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered hospital disinfectant with a label claim for a non-enveloped virus (e.g., norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, poliovirus) to disinfect environmental surfaces in rooms of patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus infection. Although there are no products with specific label claims against the Ebola virus, enveloped viruses such as Ebola are susceptible to a broad range of hospital disinfectants used to disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces. In contrast, non-enveloped viruses are more resistant to disinfectants. As a precaution, selection of a disinfectant product with a higher potency than what is normally required for an enveloped virus is being recommended at this time. EPA-registered hospital disinfectants with label claims against non-enveloped viruses (e.g., norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, poliovirus) are broadly antiviral and capable of inactivating both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. By these recommended standards from the CDC, Care Labs recommends Care Spritz to disinfect surfaces in your facility.
