Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
Some insurers and landlords ask for written proof of cleaning. Ask the cleanup team what notes it can provide, and whether it bills the insurer directly.
Infectious disease cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
Clean the surface first, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus. Follow the label for contact time and any rinse step. Different surfaces, such as wood, fabric and electronics, need different products.
