Yes. Flu, norovirus, MRSA, C. diff and E. coli each call for the right product and technique. Crews match the disinfectant to the germ, since not every product works against every germ.
Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
State and local health departments can advise during outbreaks. You can get a cleanup team for the disinfection itself, and a doctor or the health department can answer questions about symptoms and testing.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
Call 911 if anyone is seriously ill. Keep people and pets out of the affected rooms, open windows if you can, and do not spray the space yourself. Note which rooms and items the sick person used.
Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
