“We’ve seen business increase. January and February, we’ve actually noticed a significant uptick in the questions around coronavirus, especially with people having events in their home. People want to have everything cleaned and sanitized,” explained Jesse Zook.
Zook is the owner of MaidPro. He says traditional tidying up at home is a healthy habit, but to kill germs, a deep cleaning is needed.
“We’re using hospital grade disinfectants and they’re like all products you’d normally see, but they’re products that sanitize and disinfect and kill the virus and kill other germs and bacteria that is on your kitchen counter and bathrooms,” Zook explained.
Lewis explained considering how concerned everyone is right now with the virus, repeating cleaning steps is not a bad idea.

“I most definitely go over everything twice and, when clients are home, I also make them walk around with me to make sure that everything is touched and that I didn’t miss anything that they noticed and they want extra clean. And, I make sure I get to that as well,” Lewis added.
