UV Disinfection Services

We are proud to announce the launch of our new UV disinfection services. While conventional cleaning methods, like wiping down surfaces, can only limit viruses and bacteria on surfaces, our new UV disinfection services kill viruses and bacteria on surfaces and in the air.

Our UV Disinfection Treatment kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria.1

Mint's treatments use the same wavelength of UV light that hospitals and water treatment facilities use, bringing the sanitization and disinfection benefits into your home.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic energy that is not visible to the human eye. While most of us who have tanned or sunburned have experienced two types of UV light (UVA and UVB), The Cleaning Company uses a third type of UV light (UVC) via a process called ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to kill or inactivate microbes and pathogens.

UVGI releases UVC rays at a wavelength (254nm) that disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, leaving them unable to function. This process has long been used by hospitals to disinfect facilities, adopted by municipalities to purify drinking water, and incorporated into HVAC systems to sanitize the circulating air.

We make your home safer at no additional cost.

Basic UV Disinfection

Mint's Basic UV Disinfection Treatment kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria in unobstructed areas, such as open spaces and highly visible surfaces, of your home. As part of our commitment to quality and value, this is automatically included in all residential cleans at no additional cost.

Does it kill COVID-19?

Yes, our treatments kill SARS-CoV-2, which is the strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

How safe is UV disinfection?

Not only do our UV treatments destroy 99.9% of viruses and bacteria1 that they come in contact with, but they are also odor-free, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly, and non-toxic.

‍While the services are non-toxic and leave behind no residue, they can be damaging to the eyes if direct eye contact is made with the light source during application. Therefore, our cleaners are specially trained to apply the treatment and wear protective eyewear during application. Further, no customers or pets are allowed in the room during treatment.

Does our equipment produce ozone?

Our equipment does not produce ozone and the treatment is odorless.

Ozone is produced from UV light wavelengths between 100nm and 240nm. Our germicidal lamps are produced with fused quartz glass, which blocks the transmission of these ozone-producing wavelengths while allowing specific germicidal wavelengths (254nm) to pass through.

How do I book?

Basic UV Disinfection Treatment is automatically included in all residential cleans at no additional cost.
