Coronavirus Surface Lifespan
While most people can successfully clean their home, Rock Environmental may be of use for larger spaces like stores, offices, and facilities. People are everywhere, and anything that is touched by someone poses a risk for infecting another person.
Just imagine everything that gets touched in a public area – door handles, shopping carts, arm rests, counters, payment machines, the areas are endless.
In recent findings, the National Institutes of Health has found that the Coronavirus is able to remain stable on various surfaces. These findings are like that of other respiratory viruses like SARS back in 2002/2003.
Imagine trying to cover any surface that may have been touched by someone who is sick, with or without symptoms! Check out the findings of the NIH to learn more!
Below are some areas that Rock Environmental is familiar with Full-service facility disinfecting for Coronavirus, as well as why they should be cleaned with the SteraMist Technology!
Facilities We Disinfect
Hospitals – Clinics – Physician Offices
With the ever-expanding spread of Coronavirus, more and more hospitals and clinics are in dire need of disinfection and decontamination. We can go into individual patient rooms and use SteraMist on everything in the room for quick and easy sanitization. Urgent care facilities, and other clinics need cleaning services because of the influx of individuals who are being seen due to this illness.
Facilities such as these have so many high-touch areas that may not always be cleaned with regular cleaning and sanitation procedures. Rock Environmental will be happy to come and do a custom evaluation of your office of facility and provide you with an immediate solution!
Residential & Senior Living Facilities
According to the CDC, 8 out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults 65 years old and older. In some states, there have been a high number of deaths in assisted living homes and nursing facilities. It is imperative to have a full professional cleaning completed by Rock Environmental if there is any worry or suspicion of infection at one of your facilities.
Some local facilities have discovered infection of employees who may or may not have been in contact with other co-workers or residents. The SteraMist Environmental Unit can be used in individual rooms, offices and communal areas with little to no downtime.
Ambulance & First Responder Vehicles
Those who are home and start to have respiratory issue need to get help fast. Thanks to all our First Responders, those in need can get to a hospital fast. Many are not thinking about themselves and risk becoming exposed to the virus. Their vehicle and equipment may possibly be contaminated.
SteraMist Handheld Unit would suffice in cleaning the interior of Ambulance vehicles, EMS, Medical Transport vehicles, Police Cars and Fire Trucks. Not a first responder but worried about possible contamination in your own vehicle? No worries, Rock Environmental will be happy to disinfect your personal vehicle too!
Educational Buildings
If you live in NY state, or any surrounding state, your school districts are closed. Some may be for a set amount of time and students can return next month. Other school districts are closed for the remainder of the school year. This has led to some difficulties in students’ lives as well as parents. Rock Environmental is dedicated to #flattenthecurve and work with every school district in providing expert cleaning and decontamination services.
Using the SteraMist line of products, our professionals can go room to room and disinfect. Additionally, all areas of the school building will be tackled as well including cafeterias, gymnasiums, locker rooms, weight rooms, and staff offices. Don’t forget the school buses and other transport vehicles! We can disinfect those too!
Daycare Centers & Play Areas
With schools being closed, most daycare facilities are also closed. This is the perfect time to allow Rock Environmental in to provide a safe, disinfected environment for little ones to come back to. Most daycare centers have several rooms in which groups of children may be including play areas, kitchen/cafeteria and classrooms.
Each room will have many items that would need to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Sound overwhelming? Let Rock Environmental do the dirty work and take care of it for you! Have outdoor play areas? We can disinfect those too!
Office Buildings or Commercial Spaces
Some states in the US are under a “Stay at Home” law meaning that only essential employers may remain open. Many places have been closed to the public including salons, bowling alleys, casinos, and non-essential shopping centers. Many places in the foodservice industry have been closed and offer only take-out or delivery services.
During the time of closure, efforts to prevent any spread of this virus must be a priority. Calling in the Rock Environmental SteraMist team will be of great benefit to your business. When the world goes back to normal, give your employees peace of mind in knowing their environment has been decontaminated and disinfected so work can resume safely!

Community areas like fitness centers, movie theaters and laundromats can also be covered by Rock Environmental. We are in this fight together, and are all trying to reach the same goal #flattenthecurve!
