Our trained technicians use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants and electrostatic application technology to eliminate viruses, bacteria, and pathogens from desks, chairs, cubicles, and shared work areas, creating a healthier workplace environment.

Service Features

High-Touch Surface Disinfection

We systematically disinfect all high-touch surfaces including desk surfaces, drawer pulls, armrests, chair backs, keyboard trays, monitor stands, and shared equipment. Studies show office workers touch their face 16 times per hour, making surface disinfection critical for preventing illness transmission in workplace environments.

Workstation Deep Sanitization

Each individual workstation receives thorough attention including desk tops, edges, partition walls, phone handsets, and personal workspace items. Our team works methodically through open office layouts, private offices, and cubicle farms to ensure complete coverage of all work surfaces.

Conference Room Treatment

Meeting spaces receive special attention due to high turnover and shared use. We disinfect conference tables, chairs, presentation equipment, whiteboard trays, and video conferencing systems. This protects against cross-contamination between different groups using the same space throughout the day.

Electrostatic Spray Application

Our advanced electrostatic sprayers apply disinfectant with a positive electrical charge that causes droplets to wrap around and adhere to all surfaces, including undersides and backs of furniture. This technology achieves 360-degree coverage and uses 65% less chemical while delivering superior results compared to traditional spray-and-wipe methods.

Fabric & Upholstery Sanitization

Office chairs, lobby seating, and fabric panels receive specialized treatment using disinfectants safe for upholstery materials. We address the porous surfaces where pathogens can harbor, eliminating bacteria and viruses from fabric surfaces without causing damage or discoloration to materials.

Documentation & Certification

We provide detailed service documentation including date, time, areas treated, products used, and technician certification. This documentation supports your health and safety compliance efforts, provides evidence for insurance or regulatory requirements, and demonstrates your commitment to employee wellbeing.

Benefits of Furniture Disinfection

Reduced Workplace Illness Transmission

Office surfaces harbor significant microbial contamination. Research indicates office desks contain 400 times more bacteria than toilet seats. Regular professional disinfection of furniture and surfaces significantly reduces the presence of pathogens that cause colds, flu, and other illnesses, leading to fewer sick days and healthier employees.

Protection Against Viral Outbreaks

Viruses including influenza, norovirus, and coronaviruses can survive on hard surfaces for hours to days. Professional disinfection with EPA-registered virucidal products eliminates these threats. During cold and flu season or illness outbreaks, increased disinfection frequency helps prevent rapid spread through your workforce.

Enhanced Employee Confidence

Visible commitment to workplace hygiene demonstrates that you value employee health and safety. This builds trust, reduces anxiety about workplace illness, and contributes to higher morale and productivity. Employees who feel their employer cares about their wellbeing are more engaged and loyal.

Health Compliance & Risk Management

While OSHA does not mandate specific disinfection protocols, employers have a general duty to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. Professional disinfection services help meet this obligation, demonstrate due diligence, and provide documentation that supports your health and safety program in case of liability concerns.

Extended Furniture Lifespan

Regular cleaning and disinfection removes body oils, sweat, food particles, and organic matter that degrade upholstery and surface finishes over time. This maintenance extends the functional life and appearance of your office furniture investment while keeping it hygienic for users.

Improved Indoor Environmental Quality

Organic matter accumulation on furniture supports bacterial growth that can contribute to unpleasant odors and poor air quality. Professional disinfection eliminates these sources of contamination, creating a fresher, more pleasant workplace environment that employees and visitors appreciate.

Our Furniture Disinfection Process

Site Assessment & Protocol Development

We evaluate your office layout, furniture types, occupancy patterns, and specific concerns to develop a customized disinfection protocol. This includes identifying high-priority areas, determining appropriate service frequency, and selecting EPA-registered disinfectants effective against your target pathogens.

Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Our technicians remove visible debris, clutter, and loose items from surfaces before disinfection. This preparation ensures disinfectant contacts all intended surfaces rather than being blocked by papers, objects, or soil that would prevent proper sanitization.

Pre-Cleaning of Surfaces

Surfaces are pre-cleaned with detergent solutions to remove visible soil, dust, and organic matter. Disinfectants work most effectively on clean surfaces; soil and debris can inactivate disinfectant active ingredients and prevent proper contact with pathogens.

Disinfectant Application

We apply hospital-grade disinfectant using electrostatic sprayers, microfiber cloths, or trigger sprayers depending on surface type and situation. Products remain on surfaces for the required dwell time (typically 5-10 minutes) to ensure complete pathogen elimination as specified by EPA registration.

High-Touch Detail Work

Door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, shared equipment, and other frequently touched surfaces receive additional attention with microfiber cloths saturated with disinfectant. These critical contact points receive thorough wiping to ensure complete coverage.

Quality Check & Documentation

A supervisor inspects treated areas to verify complete coverage and proper dwell times. We document all services performed, products used, areas treated, and technician information. This documentation is provided for your records and compliance needs.

Understanding Pathogens in Office Environments

Office environments harbor diverse microbial populations that can impact employee health and productivity. Research published in the journal PLOS ONE found over 500 species of bacteria in office environments, with chairs and phones hosting the highest concentrations. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Enterobacteria, and various viruses that cause respiratory and gastrointestinal illness. These microorganisms survive on surfaces for varying periods - influenza viruses can remain viable for 24-48 hours on hard surfaces, while norovirus can persist for weeks. High-touch surfaces including desk surfaces, phone handsets, computer keyboards, and chair armrests accumulate the highest pathogen loads due to frequent hand contact. Understanding these contamination patterns helps inform effective disinfection protocols that target the highest-risk areas and break transmission chains in workplace settings.

EPA-Registered Disinfectants and Their Applications

The Environmental Protection Agency regulates disinfectants as pesticides and maintains List N of products effective against SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging viral pathogens. We use only EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants with demonstrated efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Common active ingredients include quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), hydrogen peroxide, and accelerated hydrogen peroxide formulations. Each product has specific contact times - the duration the surface must remain wet with the product - ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes depending on the target organism. Product selection considers surface compatibility, efficacy requirements, safety profile, and environmental impact. We maintain current knowledge of EPA registrations and emerging pathogen claims to ensure our disinfectants meet the latest public health standards.

Best Practices for Office Furniture Disinfection

Effective office furniture disinfection follows established protocols that ensure complete pathogen elimination while protecting surfaces and users. The process always begins with cleaning to remove organic matter that would inactivate disinfectants. Products must remain on surfaces for the full contact time specified on the EPA label - spraying and immediately wiping is ineffective. High-touch areas require particular attention due to their role in pathogen transmission. Application methods vary by surface type and furniture complexity; flat surfaces may be wiped while complex items benefit from electrostatic application. Safety protocols include proper ventilation, appropriate personal protective equipment for technicians, and clear communication with building occupants about treated areas. Documentation supports quality assurance and compliance requirements. Following these best practices ensures disinfection services deliver the health protection your employees deserve.

Integrating Disinfection into Your Workplace Wellness Program

Professional furniture disinfection represents one component of a comprehensive workplace wellness strategy. The most effective programs combine regular professional services with employee education about personal hygiene practices including handwashing, respiratory etiquette, and proper use of shared spaces. Environmental modifications such as increasing spacing between workstations, improving ventilation, and providing hand sanitizer stations complement surface disinfection efforts. Policy elements like stay-home-when-sick guidelines and flexible work arrangements reduce pathogen introduction into the workplace. Regular professional disinfection services demonstrate organizational commitment to employee health while addressing the environmental contamination that personal hygiene cannot eliminate alone. We work with facilities managers and HR teams to integrate our services into broader wellness initiatives, providing the documentation and communication support that helps maximize program effectiveness and employee engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is disinfection different from regular cleaning?

Cleaning removes visible dirt, debris, and some germs from surfaces using soap or detergent and water. Disinfection uses EPA-registered chemical products specifically designed to kill pathogens on surfaces. While cleaning is important and should occur first, only disinfection achieves the microbial kill necessary to prevent disease transmission. Our service includes both cleaning and disinfection steps for comprehensive surface treatment.

How often should office furniture be disinfected?

Frequency depends on facility type, occupancy density, and current health concerns. Standard offices benefit from weekly or bi-weekly disinfection. High-traffic areas, shared workstations, and facilities with frequent visitor contact may need daily treatment. During cold and flu season or illness outbreaks, increased frequency is recommended. We assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate schedule based on risk factors and budget considerations.

Are the disinfectants you use safe for office environments?

Yes, we use EPA-registered disinfectants that are effective against pathogens while being safe for use in occupied spaces when applied according to label directions. These products are designed for commercial and healthcare settings. We follow all safety protocols including proper dilution, dwell times, and ventilation. After the required dwell time and any necessary wiping, treated surfaces are safe for normal contact. We can discuss specific product information and safety data sheets upon request.

Can disinfection damage office furniture or electronics?

When performed by trained professionals using appropriate products and methods, disinfection will not damage office furniture or electronics. We select disinfectants compatible with various surface materials including wood, laminate, fabric, metal, and plastic. For electronics, we use specially formulated products that sanitize without harming sensitive components. We never over-saturate surfaces and use application methods appropriate to the item being treated.

What is electrostatic spraying and why is it better?

Electrostatic sprayers apply disinfectant with a positive electrical charge that causes droplets to attract and wrap around surfaces. This creates 360-degree coverage, reaching backsides and undersides of furniture that traditional wiping misses. The charged droplets also coat surfaces more evenly and use less chemical product. This technology is particularly effective for complex office furniture with multiple surfaces, edges, and hard-to-reach areas that would be time-consuming to treat manually.

Do you provide service outside regular business hours?

Yes, we understand that office disinfection is best performed when employees are not present. We offer flexible scheduling including early morning, evening, overnight, and weekend service to minimize disruption to your operations. Our technicians can work independently with building access or coordinate with your facilities team. We accommodate your preferred timing to ensure thorough service without interfering with business activities.
