St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration Offers Cleaning Services to Prevent Sick Building Syndrome

St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration, a company based in St. Louis, Missouri, has announced that while they have been providing Covid-19 sanitizing services, it is also important for property owners to think about another vital issue, which is Sick Building Syndrome. Mold, microbes, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and other biological pests can cause the situation known as sick building syndrome. This condition affects office workers where they usually experience headaches and respiratory problems. To help prevent sick building syndrome, St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration is now an exclusive service provider for mPact Environmental Solutions®.

Kevin Finn, owner of St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration, says, “Using a patented anti-microbial technology first developed by Dow Chemical in the 1970’s, known as AEGIS Microbe Shield®, we electrostatically apply mPale, which bonds to the surface permanently and retains its effectiveness indefinitely unless painted or covered. mPale is an EPA-registered surface coating which is colorless, odorless and leaves behind a microscopic barrier which leads to years of protection long after the treatment has taken place.”

The product that they use, mPale, is a “hyper green” product because of its unique anti-microbial mechanism that prevents microbes from adapting and building a resistance to its effectiveness. They offer an Exclusive Game Plan Service, which is a three-step process that diagnoses, treats, and prevents contamination issues in any indoor environment.

There are various advantages of the process that they use. These include the fact that: it is less invasive, requiring as little demolition and rebuilding as possible; it is more effective because the disinfectants, cleaners and antimicrobial chemicals have been designed to work together in controlling contamination; it costs less that demolition-based remediation; the treatment will last only for days and not weeks or months, which means less disruption; it is longer lasting because mPale will not dissipate over time like other products; it is more efficient because electrostatic charge is what kills the microbes and other contaminants, unlike poisonous chemicals; it is better for the environment and microbes cannot develop resistance to mechanical treatment; it is moisture resistant; it is multi-purpose because it is effective for all surfaces and materials; and it is all inclusive because the service includes annual inspections and remediation if any issues are found.

As previously mentioned, St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration also offers Covid-19 cleaning services, both for residential and commercial buildings. The provide cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces, followed by disinfection to prevent Covid-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and commercial buildings. They provide daily cleaning and disinfection of those surfaces that are frequently touched in most households, such as tables, doorknobs, remote controls, light switches, toilets, handles, sinks/faucets, desks, chairs, keys, and phones.

They make use of a disinfectant that is EPA-registered and has been shown to kill the human coronavirus. An electrostatic sprayer is used to evenly treat the various surfaces, especially the most touched, in the home. Electrostatic spray technology is considered to be more effective because it offers a faster and broader approach to disinfecting the entire house.

The technicians from St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration are also ensured not to spread any viruses to the home or building because they wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Wearing PPE is also essential when there is someone in the home who has been infected with Covid-19, allowing the technicians to safely clean the home or building.

In commercial buildings, the technicians are well aware of many items in the office that are hard to clean, such as phones, keyboards, and desks with crevices. The Covid-19 cleaning services that they offer for office buildings have been observed to have a positive impact on workplace absenteeism, including the overall health of all the employees and the entire facility.
