Cleaners put on PPE, keep people out of the work area and plan the order of work so clean rooms stay clean.
Surfaces, fixtures and shared equipment are disinfected in a set order, from cleaner areas to dirtier ones.
The crew checks each area, takes the waste away and leaves the space ready for use.

Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings but not the building. A landlord's or business policy may cover the space. Lease and local law decide who pays between a landlord and a tenant. Employers and property managers often pay after an outbreak.
It depends on the size of the space and the number of surfaces. A single room is a short job. Whole buildings, shared housing or spaces with soft materials to remove take longer, plus the required contact time.
Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.
Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
Not for every case. A small home cleaned after a mild illness can often be handled with gloves and a registered disinfectant. Businesses, shared housing and larger spaces often use professional COVID cleaning for thoroughness and documentation.
