Free home disinfection service for key workers
A Fort William window cleaning firm has re-equipped itself with specialist equipment and chemicals and says it will disinfect the homes of health and care workers for free during the coronavirus pandemic.
Before launching Fort William Window Cleaning a number of years ago, Steve Cameron worked in the industrial cleaning industry and as a result has wide experience in this field.
‘I worked in industrial cleaning for a number of years, tackling premises with issues including Hepatitis B, influenzas, norovirus and airborne pathogens,’ Steve told the Lochaber Times.
‘So I have experience with this kind of equipment and the necessary protocols. In the last month or so, I could see the way the tide was going with coronavirus, so got this fogging machine for my own use to protect my family. When the lockdown was announced, we decided we should put it to good use and do what we can to help in these difficult times. We are prepared to disinfect the home of any health or care worker for free.’
Mr Cameron told the Lochaber Times the fogging machine can disinfect an entire house in less than an hour using a product that kills all known bacteria and viruses,’ he added.
‘We’ve had quite a lot of interest via Facebook.’
Mr Cameron said anyone wishing their house disinfected would need to place all electrical items in a room where they can be covered with a sheet.
‘And people need to be able to vacate the house for about an hour while we do this,’ he explained.
‘We can do an entire house in an hour or so and are prepared to travel as far as Oban and Inverness, as well as across Lochaber.
‘We are ready to provide the service free to health and care workers who are all doing such an incredible job during these challenging times.’
