What you should (and shouldn't) believe about disinfection

As the demand for disinfection has sharply increased, many companies have emerged to offer service and make claims about the protection they can offer. So what should you believe? Rentokil's mythbusting experts answer some of the most common questions we've received.

Can any disinfectant kill
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19?

No. In the U.S., only products found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\'s (EPA) List N have been approved as disinfectants for use against SARS-CoV-2.

Are there disinfectant products that provide long-lasting (residual) protection from SARS-CoV-2?

There are currently no products available in the United States that will provide extended control or protection against the novel coronavirus on hard surfaces.

How long can a disinfection
service provide protection against SARS-CoV-2?

All current EPA-approved disinfectant products that are effective against SARS-CoV-2 will kill virus that is present during treatment. The surface can be re-contaminated as soon as the product has dried.

Protecting your school fleet amid COVID-19

Enclosed spaces are at high-risk for the spread of coronavirus – and that includes the vehicles in your school's fleet.

School busses, maintenance trucks, motorized carts, and administrative cars have dozens of high-touch surfaces that can spread coronavirus, all of which need to be thoroughly disinfected regularly to reduce risk.

Check out our infographic to see these areas on a traditional school bus.
