Sanitization & Disinfection
EPA-approved disinfectant protocols for medical, dental, and high-occupancy facilities. High-touch points, restrooms, shared workstations, electrostatic disinfection, and outbreak response.
OVERVIEW
Sanitization is the scope most vendors marketed hard during 2020 and quietly stopped executing well in 2021. The science didn't change. The discipline did. The buildings that genuinely care about pathogen control — medical and dental practices, surgical centers, schools, gyms, senior care facilities — kept the program running because the alternative is an outbreak that closes them down.
The work has to be done right or it's theater. EPA-registered disinfectants only — and not just because you have a bottle on the shelf, but because the contact time, application method, and surface chemistry actually deliver the kill claim on the label. Most "sanitization" jobs in the field don't.
RMS runs sanitization on its own discipline — separate equipment, separate chemistry, documented protocols. We're not just spraying disinfectant on surfaces and calling it clean. We're following EPA List N protocols for high-touch surfaces, electrostatic application for irregular geometries, and outbreak-response dispatch within 24 hours when something goes wrong.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Scoped to your building, not a template.
Every account is walked, measured, and scoped before pricing. The list below is the standard inclusions — the actual scope is built to your facility's materials, traffic, and compliance posture.
- EPA List N disinfectants
- High-touch surface protocols
- Electrostatic application
- Restroom and shared-equipment focus
- Outbreak response within 24 hours
- Medical / dental compliance protocols
MATERIALS & APPROACH
List N disinfectants. Documented contact times. The kill claim has to actually deliver.
EPA List N registered disinfectants — quaternary ammonium, accelerated hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid — chosen by surface and pathogen target. Contact times are respected. Applications are documented. The chemistry isn't decorative.
Electrostatic sprayers for high-occupancy and irregular surfaces — gym equipment, classroom desks, restaurant booths, where the disinfectant needs to wrap surfaces. Standard wipe-and-spray for high-touch points where electrostatic is overkill. Right tool for the surface, every time.
Disinfectants
EPA List N registered. Quat, AHP, hypochlorous acid — surface-matched.
Application
Electrostatic for irregular surfaces. Wipe-and-spray for high-touch points.
Protocols
HIPAA, CDC, OSHA-compliant on request. Documentation per visit.
Outbreak response
24-hour dispatch across Tampa Bay region. Call directly for emergency.
HOW IT GOES
From walkthrough to first clean — what to expect.
Walkthrough
We come on site, take measurements, photograph areas of concern, and ask the questions that shape a real scope — access, materials, traffic, compliance posture.
Written scope
Inside 48 hours you get a written scope and a fixed monthly quote. No hourly billing, no auto-rate creep, no per-incident surprises.
Crew assigned
Your account is paired with a dedicated site supervisor and a crew sized to your building. Same people, same standards, for the life of the contract.
First clean + handoff
We run the first clean alongside your point of contact, walk the building together, sign off on the checklist, and you're on schedule from there.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
Scope honesty, up front.
A vendor that says yes to everything is the vendor that quietly fails at the things they shouldn't have agreed to. Here's what falls outside this scope — and how we handle it.
Fogging
Most fogging applications don't deliver the contact time required by the disinfectant's label — which means the kill claim doesn't apply. We don't run fogging programs because we won't sell theater.
Mold remediation
Mold needs IICRC-certified remediation, contained workspaces, and post-remediation testing. Outside our scope — we'll refer you to a remediation firm if we find it during a sanitization visit.
Pest or pathogen testing
We sanitize. We don't run lab tests, swab cultures, or certify pathogen counts. If you need testing, we'll coordinate with an environmental testing lab.
Air-quality remediation
Beyond surface sanitization, air-quality work (HVAC remediation, ozone treatment, ductwork cleaning) needs different equipment and certification. We focus on surfaces.
“RMS took over a 32,000 sqft medical complex from a national vendor that was failing us. Within two weeks the building looked completely different. Their site supervisor walks the property with me every month — that level of accountability is rare.”

QUESTIONS WE GET
About sanitization & disinfection.
Don't see your question? Call directly — we'll answer it on the spot.
Call (315) 263-9275What disinfectants do you use?
EPA-registered List N disinfectants are standard for medical and high-touch sanitization programs. We use commercial-grade products with documented kill times for bacteria, viruses, and fungal pathogens. Specific protocols (HIPAA, CDC, OSHA) can be matched on request.
How fast can you respond to an outbreak?
Outbreak-response sanitization can typically be scoped and dispatched within 24 hours across the Tampa Bay region. Call (315) 263-9275 directly for emergency dispatch.
Do you do electrostatic disinfection?
Yes — electrostatic application is part of our standard sanitization toolkit for high-occupancy facilities, outbreak response, and large square-footage applications. It ensures even coverage on irregular surfaces and shared equipment.
Is sanitization the same as cleaning?
No. Cleaning removes visible dirt and debris. Sanitization reduces bacteria and pathogens to safe levels. Disinfection kills them. We handle all three — and most accounts run a hybrid program where sanitization is layered on top of recurring janitorial.
