After an illness, contact surfaces and textiles matter most. We describe the process rather than promising a medical outcome.
Treating premises after an illness is worthwhile in specific situations, and it is fair to say which:
What these have in common is that the premises will be used by people who have had no contact with the person who was ill — the next guest, the next shift, the next group. There, treatment has a practical point: it reduces the number of micro-organisms on surfaces before new people come in.
If one person at home has been ill and everyone else has already been in contact anyway, thorough everyday cleaning and ventilation are often enough. We say so when that is the case.
There are also things we do not claim. Treatment reduces the number of micro-organisms on the treated surfaces at the time of treatment. It is one hygiene measure among others, not a promise about a health outcome, and we make no claims about specific pathogens.
How much treatment is worth depends largely on whether the right surfaces are treated. In practice, the ones most often forgotten are exactly the ones touched most often:
| Surface | How often it is forgotten |
|---|---|
| Door handles | Rarely forgotten |
| Light switches | Often forgotten |
| Taps and sink edges | Rarely forgotten |
| Remote controls | Almost always forgotten |
| Phones and tablets | Almost always forgotten |
| Fridge handle | Often forgotten |
| Toilet flush button | Often forgotten |
| Stair handrails | Often forgotten |
The pattern is simple: people forget anything that is not a "cleanable surface" in everyday terms. Everyone wipes floors and tables. Almost nobody wipes the remote control, the phone, the light switch, the fridge handle or a cupboard door handle — even though those are what hands touch most often, and that is where the number of micro-organisms is highest.
The second practical point is contact time. A disinfectant has to stay on the surface for a set period — if it is sprayed on and immediately wiped dry, no treatment has taken place. That is the most common mistake people make when treating premises themselves, and it is also the answer to why professional treatment takes several hours rather than half an hour.
We confirm the area and the rooms that need treatment.
We clean the surfaces — disinfection does not work on a dirty surface.
We treat every contact surface, observing the product's contact time.
In larger premises, or where wider coverage is needed, we use fogging.
We air the premises and tell you when they can be used normally.
The method depends on the scale. In a flat or a small office, treating contact surfaces is usually enough. In larger premises with many surfaces, some of them hard to reach, we use fogging — it treats the whole space evenly, including places you cannot reach by hand. During fogging the premises must be left completely empty, and ventilation is needed afterwards; we give exact timings on site.
Hard surfaces are the easy part. Textiles are harder — bedding, towels, curtains, upholstery, carpets — because a product only works at the surface there.
Where the limit lies: treatment does not reach what has penetrated deep into filling. A mattress does not need to be thrown out after an ordinary illness — unlike after flooding or contact with biological fluids — but no method gives complete treatment through its full thickness either. That is more honest than promising otherwise.
That last point matters more than it looks: a single cloth carries contamination from one room to the next. The bathroom, the kitchen and the living areas should each have their own cloth, and the cloths should be washed in hot water afterwards.
Ventilation is the other thing people underestimate. During an illness rooms are often kept shut because the person who is ill feels cold, so air exchange stops exactly when it is needed most. The practical answer is short, intensive ventilation — a window opened wide for a few minutes several times a day — rather than a small window left ajar for hours. The first changes the air and barely cools the walls; the second cools the walls and hardly changes the air.
It is also worth understanding what treatment does not do. It reduces the number of micro-organisms on the treated surfaces at the time of treatment. As soon as people come back into the room, the surfaces are touched again. That is why the timing is the point: after the illness has passed and before the premises are used again by people who have had no contact — not in the middle of the illness, while the source is still there.
Treatment after illness from €65. For flats the price depends on the number of rooms; for commercial premises, on the floor area. All prices →
We make no such claims. Treatment reduces the number of micro-organisms on the treated surfaces at the time of treatment. It is one hygiene measure among others, not a promise about a health outcome.
We use professional disinfectants in accordance with their instructions for use, and we make no claims about specific pathogens.
After surface treatment, a short airing is usually enough. If fogging has been used, the premises need to be left for longer — we give exact timings on site.
