Cleaning for Health has been a major emphasis at Steamatic for many years. Back in the early seventies, our organization paid a microbiologist from Texas Christian University to determine the reduction in soil and microorganisms from our patented Hot Water Extraction Process™. The results, then, were notable – bacteria reduction in excess of 80% following cleaning with the Steamatic patented process.
Since then, sewage, mold, bacteria and now viral pathogens have become a reality of the 21ST Century. The swine flu that started in Mexico in late April now occupies a large section of the printed space in our local Sacramento Bee newspaper. On line information is generic and undeveloped. What are the other routes of transmission? What is the incubation period for the virus to develop? Perhaps the public health authorities do not want too much information shared but it appeals to me to know as much as possible to avoid the problem and the anticipation of having the problem!
I was in Mexico for the first eleven days of April and I was never concerned about the swine flu outbreak because I have not been ill. However on a recent trip to San Antonio, I flew in close proximity to many individuals on several small regional jets and have been experiencing some health issues normal to the beginning of the flu. The last two days, on page one of the Sacramento Bee, photos of a janitor cleaning a desk with rubber gloves only and health professionals with new hooded-masks learning how to deal with swine flu-effected patients. There’s a mixed message to the public and in the public interest I have attached a bulletin from a trusted environmental professional that provides the specifics I was seeking.
