Welcome to Dallas Janitorial Services’ comprehensive guide to professional disinfection. In today’s health-conscious environment, proper disinfection is no longer optional—businesses must protect employees, customers, and visitors.
Why Professional Disinfection Matters
Professional disinfection goes beyond basic cleaning, eliminating over 99% of viruses and bacteria on high-touch surfaces, which is crucial for reducing illness in workplaces and public spaces. Professional disinfection can be a game-changer for your business.
- Fewer Sick Days: A workplace hygiene intervention reduced the presence of viruses on employees’ hands from 38% to 11% and on communal surfaces from 51% to 5%—up to 70-80% less viral contamination, supporting fewer absences.
- Cost Savings: Fewer sick days can save businesses hundreds of dollars per employee annually.
- Food Safety: Proper disinfection protocols are essential for lowering the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks in commercial and food service settings.
Regulations require documented disinfection protocols across industries. Professional services help ensure compliance, protect your reputation, and minimize costly violations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between cleaning and disinfection?
Cleaning removes visible dirt and debris, while disinfection kills pathogens on surfaces. Professional disinfection requires specific products, contact times, and application methods to eliminate bacteria and viruses effectively.
How often should my business be professionally disinfected?
Frequency depends on your industry, foot traffic, and risk level. High-traffic areas may need daily disinfection, while private offices might require weekly treatment. We customize schedules based on your specific needs.
What disinfectants do you use, and are they safe?
We use EPA-approved, hospital-grade disinfectants that are effective against pathogens while safe for occupied spaces when properly applied. All products meet safety standards for commercial use.
How long does the disinfection process take?
Time varies by facility size and service type. Routine disinfection typically takes 1-3 hours, while deep disinfection may require 4-8 hours, depending on the space and complexity.
Do we need to evacuate the building during disinfection?
Most routine disinfection can occur while the building is occupied. Deep disinfection or certain emergency treatments may require temporary evacuation for safety and effectiveness.
How long do disinfectants remain effective after application?
Effectiveness varies by product and environmental factors. Most commercial disinfectants protect for 24-48 hours on treated surfaces, so regular reapplication is important for ongoing protection.
