Disinfecting Services in Concord, CA

Star’s Janitorial Services provides disinfecting services in Concord, California and across the East Bay and Contra Costa County.

Professional disinfecting of high-touch surfaces for offices, schools, gyms, commercial buildings, and other high-traffic facilities.

Disinfecting is a separate service from cleaning. Cleaning removes soil from a surface; disinfecting applies an EPA-registered product to a surface and leaves it wet for the labeled dwell time so the germs on it are killed. Our disinfecting service is scoped separately from routine cleaning because it uses different products, different procedures and a different amount of time in the building.

What gets treated

• High-touch surfaces: door handles and push plates, light switches, elevator buttons, handrails, faucet handles, flush handles, shared keyboards and phones, badge readers and vending buttons.
• Restrooms: every fixture, partition, dispenser and door treated, not just wiped.
• Breakrooms and kitchens: tables, chair backs, counters, appliance handles, coffee stations and water dispensers.
• Gyms and fitness rooms: equipment grips, seats and consoles, free weights, benches, mats and locker room surfaces, which see more hands per hour than almost any other space.
• Classrooms and childcare areas: desks, tables, cubbies, toys and shared supplies, using products and dwell times appropriate for children.
• Medical waiting rooms and exam rooms: seating, check-in counters, exam surfaces and patient restrooms.
• Conference rooms, reception desks and shared workstations.

Who this is for

Offices, schools and childcare centers, gyms and fitness facilities, medical and dental offices, commercial buildings and other high-traffic facilities in Concord and Contra Costa County. Facilities call for disinfecting after a reported illness or outbreak, during flu season, when occupancy rises after a holiday, when a gym or childcare license requires a documented process, or simply because shared surfaces are being touched by more people than routine cleaning was designed for.

How the service works

• Products: EPA-registered disinfectants, chosen for the surface and the occupants. Each product has a labeled dwell time, the number of minutes it must stay wet to work, and we apply it so that time is met rather than wiping it off immediately.
• Method: surfaces are cleaned first where soil is present, because disinfectant does not work through dirt. The product is then applied by spray-and-wipe, or by sprayer for large areas and irregular surfaces like gym equipment and classroom furniture.
• Standalone visits: a one-time disinfecting service for a specific event, an outbreak response, or a seasonal treatment, scoped and priced on its own.
• Added to a regular route: a disinfecting pass on high-touch surfaces written into your janitorial scope at a set frequency, such as weekly during flu season or on every visit for gyms and childcare.
• Documentation: a list of the areas and surfaces treated and the products used, with photo documentation available for applicable services and projects, so a facility manager, board or licensing inspector can see what was done.
