Infectious Disease Decontamination in Pulaski
Pulaski's campuses, offices and homes see many people sharing space. After an illness, we clean high-touch surfaces and then disinfect with EPA-registered products for the full label contact time.
After an illness such as norovirus, C. diff or MRSA, we clean soiled surfaces and then disinfect with an EPA-registered product whose label lists that organism. We do not offer medical advice or testing; we focus on doing the cleaning and disinfection correctly and documenting it.
Local considerations in Pulaski

Local context in Pulaski
UT Southern, the TCAT campus, schools, county offices and the hospital make Pulaski a place where many people share space. A stomach virus or seasonal flu that spreads through an office, apartment or business can be followed by a targeted cleaning. Grime comes off before any disinfectant goes on, because germs hide under soil. Then we use a product registered by EPA for the specific organism and allow it the full contact time its label specifies. Institutions with their own infection control staff set the scope.
In homes, a relative coming back after treatment for C. diff or staph may prompt the family to want bathrooms and bedrooms handled carefully. C. diff requires products specifically listed by EPA for its spores, which many household cleaners are not. We use protective equipment and focus on high-touch areas such as rails, remotes and faucets. We do not make medical claims or promise to prevent illness, and questions about exposure or testing belong with a physician or the health department.
For a step-by-step explanation of the process, safety precautions and what we hand to other specialists, see our main infectious disease decontamination page.
