An outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, and has spread throughout China and to 31 other countries and territories, including the United States1. Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses2. There are many enveloped viruses, including HBV, HCV, HIV and influenza. They are pathogenic to humans, meaning that they make you sick. The lipid envelope of these viruses is relatively sensitive and thus can be destroyed by alcohols similar to those used in the EnviroShield® system, such as ethanol or 2-propanol3.
Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting’s processes follow a proven program that uses the broadest spectrum, hospital-strength disinfectants with maximum killing power. Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting’s proprietary EnviroShield system has been proven effective against other, similar enveloped viruses.
Bacteria, viruses, and lingering odors have no place in a clean and hygienic workspace. That’s why Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting franchisees use the exclusive EnviroShield system for commercial disinfection and deodorization. The commercial disinfectant used in the EnviroShield system offers medical-grade disinfection, eliminating over 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.

This disinfectant carries the EPA’s highest grade for safety and non-toxicity. It generates no harmful residues, no toxic byproducts, and no harsh or irritating fumes.
