SANITIZING & DISINFECTING (COVID-19)

As 2020 progresses, COVID-19 continues to expand its reach across the nation and abroad at an unprecedented rate. What we do today, tomorrow, and the days after that until a vaccine is readily available, is paramount in mitigating our risk of contracting the virus.

Here at Valley, we are aiding in the fight against this virus by offering two unique solutions to help you effectively disinfect and sanitize high-risk surfaces. Read on to learn more about these products and how they can help you stay safe.

Virus 101

how the virus spreads

According to the CDC, COVID-19 spreads in 3 ways.

1. Person to Person – The greatest risk of infection comes from direct contact with an individual infected with COVID-19, as well as being within 6 feet of the infected individual.
2. Airborne Transmission – The virus can sometimes be spread by airborne particles that linger in the air for minutes to hours after an infected person has left the area.
3. Contact with Contaminated Surfaces – An individual may become infected through contact with contaminated surfaces that house respiratory droplets from an infected individual.

 

stopping the spread

Cleaning with soap and water reduces the amount of germs, dirt and impurities on surfaces, while disinfecting kills these germs.

In order to protect yourself against COVID-19 and other viruses, routine cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces should occur frequently with formulas approved to disinfect against COVID-19.

For a full list of products that are effective against COVID-19, refer to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list of approved formulas.

 

High-Risk Areas To Be Disinfected Frequently

Indoor Areas: Doors, handles, hand railings, restrooms, toilets, sinks, tables, countertops, chairs and floors.
Outdoor Areas:
Sidewalks, parks, playgrounds and restaurant facades.
