COVID-19
PRECAUTIONS
UVC and Ozone
Sanitation
Spending the last 20 years in
healthcare has given me a valuable background in infection control and a
knowledge base of some specific actions we can take to reduce the spread of
bacteria and viruses in our storage units. Due to COVID-19 concerns, Appalachian
Storage has invested in technology to reduce the viral and bacterial spread
within our storage units. Because viruses and bacteria are invisible
to the human eye, we sanitize each unit between customers to protect your
belongings. A UVC light with ozone
can kill up to 99.9% of most viruses, airborne bacteria, and mold spores.
· UVC sterilization destroys the molecular
structure of the DNA and RNA of microbial cells, causing the death of growing
cells and regenerative cells
· Ozone sterilization destroys the structure of
the microbial membrane with the oxidation of oxygen atoms, which can quickly
penetrate into the bacteria, causing the death of bacteria
· Odors are removed as the bacteria dies
Changes to Appalachian Storage cleaning and sanitation practices for new rentals will take effect on October 29, 2021.
