These are uncertain times we are living in, as the importance of cleaning becomes even more important now than ever, we here at SD Janitor Inc. continue to safely operate as an essential business under guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity, and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”). The Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers, which provides guidance to both State and Local jurisdictions, and the Private Sector defines Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers in the Public Works Section as:
“Workers such as plumbers, electricians, exterminators, and other service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintaining the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences.”
SD Janitor technicians are working hard every day doing the necessary maintenance, cleaning and sanitation of environmental surfaces found in residential, commercial, and institutional environments.
We understand that many of our customers have questions about our services and the steps we are taking to ensure their safety and that of our team. Our management team is actively monitoring communications from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the World Health Organization (“WHO”), and federal agencies to ensure we are operating consistent with the latest guidance to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.
According to the CDC, cleaning is the necessary first step of any disinfection process. Cleaning removes organic matter, salts, and visible soils, all of which interfere with microbial inactivation. The physical action of scrubbing with detergents and surfactants and rinsing with water removes substantial numbers of microorganisms. If a surface is not cleaned first, the success of the disinfection process can be compromised. For more information about the critical importance of cleaning, we encourage you to visit the CDC for more information.
SD Janitor Inc. is prepared and uniquely equipped to assist our clients with the cleaning of their environmental.

We also have enhanced our equipment disinfection protocol with the introduction of an additional EPA antimicrobial registered disinfectant which also meets the EPA’s criteria for use against viral pathogens. All cleaning equipment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every job for the health and safety of our workers and to limit any risk of transfer. This process is repeated at the end of each workday along with a complete cleaning and disinfection of our service vehicles.

We have trained our working team on maintaining appropriate social distance throughout the workday and the critical importance of personal hygiene with a specific emphasis on handwashing before, during and after all jobs.
