Following stringent cleaning and sanitation protocols is non-negotiable when it comes to maintaining clean and healthy environments, especially in industries like healthcare, education, and hospitality. At ServiceMaster of Wake County, we prioritize cleanliness and compliance—ensuring your spaces meet the highest standards set by the CDC, OSHA, and other regulatory bodies. We also use EPA-approved disinfectants to eliminate harmful pathogens such as MRSA, C. diff, and COVID-19, protecting everyone who enters your space.

Here’s how we uphold these critical standards to create safer, healthier environments for your business.
The Importance of Compliance in Cleaning
Regulatory guidelines exist to safeguard health and safety across industries. Non-compliance can lead to serious consequences, including health risks, reputational damage, and legal penalties. Understanding and adhering to these standards ensures your facility remains safe, functional, and welcoming.
Key Regulatory Bodies We Follow:
CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention): The CDC provides evidence-based protocols for preventing infections, especially in high-risk settings such as hospitals and schools. Their guidelines emphasize thorough cleaning, disinfection, and proper waste disposal.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): OSHA focuses on workplace safety, including measures to protect workers from exposure to hazardous chemicals and infectious agents. Their standards are critical for industrial sites, healthcare facilities, and more.
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency): The EPA sets standards for disinfectants, ensuring they are effective against harmful pathogens while minimizing environmental impact. Using EPA-approved products is vital for maintaining a clean and safe environment.
Using EPA-Approved Disinfectants to Combat Dangerous Pathogens
Pathogens such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), C. diff (Clostridioides difficile), and COVID-19 pose serious threats to public health. Proper cleaning and disinfection are key to controlling their spread.
What Makes EPA-Approved Disinfectants Essential?
Proven Efficacy: These disinfectants are rigorously tested to ensure they can eliminate a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Safety Standards: EPA approval ensures the products are safe for use in commercial and residential environments when applied correctly.
Specificity: Many EPA-approved disinfectants are designed to target specific pathogens, ensuring more effective results.
Our Approach to Disinfection:
Targeted Cleaning: We focus on high-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, desks, and medical equipment—prime spots for pathogen transmission.
Advanced Tools: We use electrostatic sprayers and microfiber cloths to apply disinfectants evenly and effectively.
Compliance with Dwell Times: We strictly adhere to the recommended dwell times for disinfectants to ensure maximum pathogen elimination.
