How We Protect Your Home During Cold & Flu Season: Our Sanitizing Protocol

At Organically Clean Utah, your family’s health and peace of mind are top priorities. During cold & flu season we follow a targeted sanitizing protocol that balances effectiveness with safety — especially important for homes with kids and pets.

Step 1 — Focus on high-touch surfaces
We concentrate on doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, countertops, faucet handles, and appliance touch panels. These are surfaces where germs spread fastest.

Step 2 — Use EPA-registered disinfectants (safe and effective)
We choose products that are proven to kill viruses and bacteria, then dilute and apply them according to manufacturer guidelines for both safety and efficacy.

Step 3 — Dwell time matters
A disinfectant needs time on a surface to work. We follow recommended dwell times — wiping too soon reduces effectiveness — so we make sure each area stays wet for the required period.

Step 4 — Green when possible
When households prefer non-toxic options, we offer plant-based disinfectants that still meet sanitizing standards for typical household use.

Step 5 — Cloth hygiene & cross-contamination prevention
We use color-coded microfiber cloths and change them frequently to avoid cross-contamination between rooms. All cloths are laundered after use at high temperature.

Step 6 — Communication and transparency
We document which products are used and can provide a copy of the protocol for your records. If anyone in your home is immunocompromised, we’ll customize the approach to fit your needs.

What you can do at home:

• Keep hand sanitizer available by entryways.

• Wipe down high-touch surfaces daily during peak season.

• Wash linens and towels more frequently.

Keeping your family healthy is a team effort. If you want professional sanitizing that’s thorough and tailored to your household, we’re ready to help.
