Infectious disease outbreaks require immediate response based on more than the routine use of sanitation practices: targeted antimicrobial approaches based on the characteristics of the target pathogen. At Dublcheck Cleaning Glasgow, we use hospital-grade disinfectants that are proven to be effective against bacteria, viruses as well as drug-resistant bacteria that threaten public health.
Our technicians know the dwell times, dilution ratios and surface compatibility factors involved in determining whether a decontamination is successful or simply the redistribution of microorganisms. We use electrostatic spraying technology that applies the disinfectant molecules to complex surfaces like a wrap and is designed to reach the areas that manual wiping does not reach. From norovirus outbreaks in care homes through to coronavirus exposures in workplaces - we create infection-free environments with systematic protocols based on Health Protection Scotland guidance.
When infectious disease is transmitted within the communities or facilities, the speed of containment determines whether situations remain manageable or turn into epidemic health issues. We work with NHS infection control teams, environmental health officers and facility managers to implement zoned cleaning schedules that focus on cleaning symptomatic areas whilst ensuring that cross-contamination is avoided to clean areas.
Our staff are trained in proper wear and removal of PPE, protocols for separating waste, and decontamination of cleaning equipment from use to use. This systematic approach has been a successful method of containing gastroenteritis outbreaks in schools, respiratory illness clusters in office buildings and antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in residential care settings in Glasgow.
Visible cleanliness gives a false sense of confidence with the persistence of pathogenic microorganisms in biofilms, textured surfaces and reservoirs in the environment invisible to the naked eye. Our deep cleaning methodology for cleaning and disinfecting combines mechanical cleaning action and chemical disinfection effect, which guarantees the physical removal of organic matter protecting the bacteria from the action of the antimicrobial agents.
We pay special attention to such porous materials as grout, unsealed wood, and fabric surfaces on which conventional cleaning leaves viable pathogens. Healthcare facilities, food preparation areas and childcare centres benefit from our quarterly deep sanitisation programmes which reduce baseline microbial loads and extend the effects of daily maintenance cleaning. Each service contains detailed reporting on areas treated, products used and recommended lengths of time between subsequent interventions.
We restore properties impacted by traumatic events, drug activity and bodily fluid contamination using discreet and compassionate service providing priorities for safety and regulatory compliance.

When norovirus hit our facility, Dublcheck put a decontamination plan in place that enabled us to separate affected wings while continuing operations in other areas of the facility. Their knowledge of the process of infection enabled the outbreak not to spread beyond the initial three residents.

Following a number of cases of gastroenteritis in pupils, we called Dublcheck for deep sanitisation for the October break. Not a single related absence was registered during the next term, which was clear proof of the effectiveness of their pathogen elimination methods.

Our surgery had to be dramatically decontaminated when it was discovered that a case of tuberculosis had attended for several consultations. Dublcheck acted within hours; they treated waiting areas with validated TB-effective disinfectants and supplied clearance documentation for inspection by the NHS.
