Commercial Disinfection Services
in Mobile & Baldwin County, AL

EPA-registered disinfectants applied to cleaned surfaces and held for the full dwell time, on a routine schedule or on demand after illness.

Cleaning and disinfecting are two different jobs, and most disinfection that fails does so because the first one was skipped. Cleaning removes soil, oils and film. Disinfecting uses a registered product to reduce germs on a surface that is already clean. Spray a disinfectant over a dirty counter and you are mostly wetting the dirt. Premier Cleaning & Janitorial treats them as separate steps in every building: clean first, then disinfect.

We use EPA-registered disinfectants and hold each one for the full dwell time on its label, which is the length of time a surface must stay visibly wet for the product to work. Wiping it dry early wastes the product. We apply disinfection to a mapped list of high-touch points in your building and to restrooms on every service night, and we offer on-demand disinfection after an illness has been reported. We make no health guarantees, because no cleaning service can control who walks in the next morning. What we can promise is a documented process, followed by the same crew, and checked by a supervisor. See the 7-step process.

Scope of work

What disinfection covers

Disinfection is applied after cleaning, to surfaces chosen by how often people touch them.

High-touch points

  • Door handles, push plates and entry hardware
  • Light switches and thermostats
  • Elevator buttons and stair rails
  • Reception counters and sign-in surfaces
  • Shared phones, keyboards and desk surfaces where access is permitted
  • Faucet handles, soap and towel dispensers
  • Break room tables, refrigerator handles and microwave doors

Restrooms

  • Toilets, urinals, seats and flush handles
  • Sinks, faucets and counters
  • Partition doors and latches
  • Floors cleaned first, then disinfected
  • Dispensers cleaned and restocked
  • Color-coded cloths kept to the restroom and never used elsewhere

Facility-specific areas

  • Exam room and treatment surfaces in medical and dental offices
  • Classroom tables, shared toys and nap-room surfaces in daycares
  • Gym equipment contact points, benches and locker room surfaces
  • Waiting room seating and tables
  • Pews, hall tables and nursery surfaces in churches
  • Event venue restrooms, counters and entry doors

Routine and on-demand

  • Routine disinfection built into nightly or day porter service
  • Scheduled deeper disinfection on a weekly or monthly cycle
  • On-demand disinfection after reported illness
  • Written list of the surfaces treated and the product used
  • Product choice adjusted for a named organism of concern, where a label supports it

Two separate steps

Cleaning is not disinfecting, and the order matters

A disinfectant label assumes the surface is clean. Soil blocks contact between product and surface and can use up the product before it reaches what is underneath. This is why our process separates the two.

  • Clean. Remove visible soil, grease and film with a detergent and a clean cloth.
  • Apply. Use an EPA-registered disinfectant on the cleaned surface, in the way the label directs.
  • Dwell. Keep the surface wet for the full contact time on the label. Different products have different times, and we follow the label for each.
  • Finish. Let it air dry or wipe only when the label allows, rinsing food-contact and skin-contact surfaces where required.
  • Rotate cloths. Color-coded microfiber stays in its zone so restroom cloths never reach a desk.

Skipping the clean step, wiping early or reusing one cloth across rooms are the three most common reasons disinfection does not do what the label describes.

Mapping and frequency

High-touch mapping, routine service and on-demand work

Disinfecting every surface in a building every night is neither practical nor useful. We focus the work where hands go.

  • Map. During the walk-through we list the high-touch points by room and agree which ones are disinfected every visit.
  • Routine. High-touch points and restrooms are disinfected on every service night, with deeper rounds on a weekly or monthly schedule.
  • Daytime top-up. Busy sites such as clinics and gyms may add a mid-day pass through day porter service.
  • On demand. After a reported illness we disinfect the affected rooms and shared areas on short notice, subject to crew availability.
  • Medical settings. Clinics follow the product and contact-time protocol described on our medical office cleaning page.

Disinfection reduces germs on surfaces. It does not replace handwashing, ventilation or staying home when sick, and it is not a guarantee against illness. We will say so plainly in the proposal.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?

Cleaning removes soil, oils and film from a surface. Disinfecting uses a registered product to reduce germs on a surface that is already clean. Both are needed, in that order. Disinfectant applied over visible dirt is largely wasted, so we always clean first and disinfect second.

What products do you use?

We use EPA-registered disinfectants chosen for the surface and setting. Each product is applied as the label directs and held for its full dwell time. If you have a specific concern, such as a named organism or a fragrance sensitivity, we adjust the product and confirm it against the label.

What is dwell time and why does it matter?

Dwell time is how long a surface must stay visibly wet with disinfectant for the product to work as labeled. It varies by product. Wiping a surface dry early cuts the contact time short, which is the most common way disinfection is done incorrectly. We follow the label for every product.

Can you disinfect after someone in our building has been sick?

Yes. We offer on-demand disinfection of affected rooms, restrooms and shared high-touch areas, subject to crew availability. Call (251) 272-5088 and describe the space. We clean first, then disinfect, and we do not offer health guarantees, since we cannot control what happens after we leave.

Do you disinfect daycares, gyms and medical offices differently?

Yes. Daycares focus on shared toys and low surfaces, gyms on equipment contact points and locker rooms, and medical offices on exam and treatment surfaces at documented contact times. Product choice and safe rinsing for food-contact or skin-contact surfaces change by setting.

Is disinfection part of regular nightly cleaning?

Yes, for high-touch points and restrooms. Our process includes a wipe down and disinfect step on every service night. Broader or deeper disinfection, and on-demand work after illness, is scoped separately so you know what is covered and what is added.
