What is infectious disease decontamination?
Infectious disease decontamination is the targeted cleaning and disinfection of spaces after exposure to a contagious pathogen. It involves removing soil and organic material, applying EPA-registered disinfectants with label claims for the pathogen of concern at the correct contact time, and addressing high-touch surfaces, restrooms and shared equipment.
Matching the method to the pathogen
Different organisms survive and spread in different ways. Some spread mainly through the air, some on hands and surfaces, and some form hardy spores that resist common disinfectants. An effective decontamination starts with knowing what you are dealing with.
We select disinfectants from EPA lists and labels relevant to the organism, follow label contact times, and focus on the surfaces most likely to spread illness. We are not a medical provider, and we work alongside the guidance from your physician or health department.

- A confirmed infection in a home or facility

Why professional decontamination matters
Routine cleaning is not built for outbreaks.
Wrong product
Many household cleaners are not labeled for specific pathogens.
Contact time
Disinfectants only work when left wet for the label time.
Missed surfaces
High-touch points are easy to overlook.
Vulnerable people
Older adults, infants and immunocompromised people face greater risk.

Infectious disease decontamination in Nashville
Nashville is a major healthcare hub with a dense network of hospitals, clinics, senior living communities and schools. Outbreaks in shared spaces can move quickly without a targeted response.
We use EPA-registered disinfectants with label claims for the organism, including products from EPA List K for C. diff, List N for SARS-CoV-2 and List G for norovirus when applicable. For airborne illnesses, we pair surface work with ventilation and filtration guidance.
For ongoing protection, see our disinfection services and commercial programs.
