Get the Facts, not the Flu!

Fall brings the excitement of so many things that we all look forward to every year… leaves changing colors, pumpkins, apple picking, football, Halloween and so much more. However, fall also brings the peak of the dreaded cold and flu season. While this year is a bit different as we are in the midst of a pandemic, the same threat remains from viruses that cause cold and flu illnesses. The CDC recommends taking personal protective measures such as getting up-to-date vaccinations, washing your hands, covering coughs/sneezes, staying home while sick and keeping your distance from others. While these tactics do aid in stopping the spread of these pesky viruses, sometimes it’s just not enough.

Viruses, including influenza, tend to be able to live on surfaces for multiple days. This means if you touch a contaminated surface and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you’ve just potentially infected yourself! That is the reason why now is the time to start thinking about calling us here at SERVPRO of White Plains and New Rochelle to deep clean your home or business. We don’t just take care of water damages, fires and mold… we do it all. We have been trained in disinfection and sanitation protocols, and strive to create a safe and germ free environment for you and your loved ones during the cold and flu season.
