Newsday is opening this story to all readers so Long Islanders have access to important information about the coronavirus outbreak. All readers can learn the latest news at newsday.com/LiveUpdates.
Cleaning companies around Long Island are emerging as safety specialists on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, tasked to carry a heavier workload, deal with increased demand, and head out into potentially contaminated spaces.
With offices, schools and gyms closed, but possibly exposed to the virus, local companies are working long hours to deal with a unique demand that also requires exceptionally stringent cleaning practices, in line with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Environmental Conservation. At the same time, they still scramble for the proper disinfectants and solvents, needing to secure all proper materials before handling a job.
