C. Diff spores can live on surfaces or clothing for years. The spores act as a protective shield that bacteria can hide behind while lying dormant. It's imperative that any affected surfaces be properly cleaned and sanitized to avoid possible exposure.
In 2011 there were over a half million infections in the US alone, 29,000 died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis. Most cleaning products are ineffective at killing C-Diff spores. It's important to use either a bleach cleaning solution or a certified sporicidal cleaning agent. Keep in mind that common alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not effective against C. Diff spores.
C Diff is a bacteria that spreads through something called "spores" which is an inactive form of C Diff. The spores are very hardy and can survive on objects and surfaces for very long periods of time, making it easier for the bacteria to spread. C. Diff spores are easily ingested by touching your mouth after you've touched a contaminated surface or object. Our decontamination services include a full cleanup of the home and removal of potentially contaminated debris and unwanted items at our client's discretion. Though bleach is a common and effective chemical to kill C. Diff bacteria, it can leave behind unsafe byproducts that may be harmful to your health. We use only non toxic, hospital grade sporicidal cleaning agents to disinfect your home so that you may rest assured that your property has been thoroughly sanitized safely.
In many cases, our cleaning and decontamination services are covered by homeowner's insurance. We will check with your insurance provider and bill them directly to spare you the burden.
