Apartment disinfection in Paris 7th
Disinfection comes after cleaning. We treat already-cleaned surfaces only when their condition justifies it. The scope is defined room by room and fitting by fitting, with the material and finish checked first. Disinfection never replaces cleaning and is never added automatically.
A large flat may contain several bathrooms, a cloakroom, a kitchen and a butler’s pantry installed at different times. We identify the surfaces included, the conditions for reuse and the limits created by ventilation or the building. Disinfection works best on non-porous materials; on a porous support, its effectiveness depends on the material, its finish, its condition and the risk addressed. It is never a sterilisation of the flat.
- Surfaces are cleaned before treatment
- Each room and fitting is listed
- Ventilation affects reuse conditions
- Porous materials require specific assessment
A treatment defined by the surfaces
Before treatment
- Cleaning is completed first
- The person entitled to give instructions is confirmed
- Rooms and fittings are listed individually
- Materials and finishes are checked
During assessment
- We compare porous and non-porous supports
- We note window and ventilation conditions
- We identify blocked or failing air movement
- We protect surfaces outside the agreed scope
Before reuse
- Contact time is explained
- Ventilation requirements are identified
- Any rinsing requirement is discussed
- Building-dependent limits are stated clearly
Several water points in one large flat
In the large flats of the 7th, there may be two or three bathrooms, a cloakroom, a kitchen and sometimes a butler’s pantry, each fitted at a different period. One room may have old wall tiles, another a recent shower tray, while marble, stainless steel and painted joinery sit beside different basins. We therefore do not treat “the wet rooms” as one block. We list each room and each fitting included, and we identify what is excluded before any treatment is considered. A basin surround, a shower tray, a worktop, a tiled wall and painted wood may require different decisions because their surfaces and finishes are not interchangeable. The person entitled to give instructions confirms the scope, and a room is not included simply because it is next to one that is.
The conditions for using treated surfaces again also vary from room to room. Contact time, ventilation and any rinsing are not settled in the same way in a bathroom with a window and in a windowless cloakroom at the end of a long corridor. A blocked duct or failing ventilation separates the surface we can treat from the conditions controlled by the building. Disinfecting a wall does not repair ventilation, remove damp or change the structure of an air system. You tell us only what you already know about the ventilation, without removing a grille or inspecting a duct. We state what the treatment covers and what remains dependent on the building’s rules or equipment.
How the treatment is organised
Scope
The person entitled to give instructions confirms the rooms, fittings and surfaces included.
Cleaning
We work on surfaces that have already been cleaned, not on untreated soiling.
Material check
We assess the support, finish and condition before proposing any treatment.
Ventilation
We record the known ventilation conditions and identify limits controlled by the building.
Treatment
We apply disinfection only when the condition of the place justifies it and within the agreed scope.
Reuse
We explain contact time, ventilation and any rinsing needed before treated surfaces are used again.
What shapes the assessment
- The rooms and fittings included
- The condition of the cleaned surfaces
- Porous or non-porous materials
- The finish and sensitivity of each support
- The risk addressed
- Contact-time requirements
- Ventilation and air movement
- Any rinsing before reuse
Disinfection is assessed after cleaning and is considered only where the state of the surfaces justifies it. Non-porous materials generally allow the treatment to work at its fullest. On a porous support, effectiveness depends on the material, its finish, its condition, the product and the risk addressed. A blocked duct, a windowless room or failing ventilation may limit reuse conditions without being solved by treating the wall itself.

Questions about apartment disinfection
Does disinfection replace cleaning?
No. Disinfection applies only to surfaces that have already been cleaned, when their condition justifies treatment.
Is every room treated automatically?
No. We list the rooms and fittings included, and treatment is considered only within the agreed scope.
Does disinfection sterilise the whole flat?
No. It is a surface treatment, not sterilisation of the flat, and it does not establish habitability.
Which materials respond best?
Disinfection works best on non-porous materials. On porous supports, effectiveness depends on the material, finish, condition, product and risk addressed.
Can you repair blocked ventilation?
No. We can state how ventilation limits the treatment, but repairing a duct or ventilation system is separate building work.
When can a treated room be used again?
We explain the relevant contact time, ventilation and any rinsing. Reuse conditions depend on the treatment and the room.
Do I need to inspect the ventilation before contacting you?
No. Tell us only what you already know. Do not remove a grille or inspect a duct to prepare the assessment.
