So this is a basic ‘enveloped’ virus. The virus is enclosed by a lipid membrane (a fat like substance) this membrane (envelope) is used by the virus to attach itself to the host cell, the virus then penetrates the host cell and replicates itself. The envelope is actually quite fragile, and susceptible to changes in temperature, pH levels and disinfectants.
Examples of Enveloped Viruses:
Like most enveloped viruses, outside of the human body they are very weak and easily destroyed with hot water and disinfectant (hence all the media advice to wash your hands!) Needless to say, you cannot kill viruses so easily once they are inside the human body, so never, ever consume a disinfectant!
There are various agents that are effective against enveloped viruses, the best one is actually common bleach, but you can’t go splashing that stuff all around. The most well known version is probably alcohol, such as in hand sanitisers, it works very quickly but it evaporates so how long it will last is limited.
QATs (or quaternary ammonium compounds) take longer to work but provide longer lasting protection. They are best applied and left on the surface in order to (in effect) kill the virus. They disrupt the envelope membrane, which exposes the nucleocapsid, affecting it‘s ability to infect subsequent cells.

HH Floor Care renovated our tired wooden floor, including sanding down and re-oiling. Aurelijus takes great pride in his work and made sure the floor was looking perfect before finishing. We're really pleased we decided to renovate what was a very scratched and stained floor. The finished result is like having a brand new floor again. I'd recommend HH Floor Care without hesitation - fantastic job.

HH Flooring have transformed our tired old wooden floor, bringing it back to life. Simply stunning. They even went the extra mile and renovated our oak block side tables. They had great communication and explained the process clearly and their kit left so little dust it was amazing. A very professional job and I would recommend them highly to anyone looking to have the wooden floors renovated.

I can thoroughly recommend HH Floor Care. From the first visit where we discussed options, expectations and cost Aurelijus was completely professional, highly knowledgeable and courteous. Aurelijus started work on the agreed date, was a very tidy worker, the price agreed didn’t change and the finish to my floor is fabulous.

An outstanding level of service and professionalism. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I have rarely seen such dedicated work ethic and high levels of customer care. Working from 8am-6pm for 3 days and 8am-3pm on the 4 th day to ensure absolute perfection, Aurelijus completely transformed my old parquet floor to a floor of absolute warmth and beauty! And then he did a 90min return journey that evening just to double check that it was all setting perfectly! ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING SERVICE.

The second time we have used HH Floor Care and been astounded by the results. Very responsive (attended within 24hrs), professional and excellent value for the magic produced! Got a big blob of oil based dark paint out of a very light carpet with no evidence to be seen - client and designer both very happy :)

We received wonderful service from HH Floor Care. It was easy to communicate with them, we had a telephone consultation and then booked a date. Our wooden floor was starting to look tired and old, it now looks brand new. A brilliant service and time taken to give tips and advice about on-going care with cleaning products and protective pads for furniture feet all part of the service. Would certainly recommend.

We can, without hesitation, fully recommend HH Floor Care. We had several companies around to look at restoring our floor and having met Aurelijus we literally had all our questions answered. He showed up on time as arranged and carried out the job from beginning to end in the most expert way. Before giving a quote he tested an area to show us what the cleaned stone would look like to ensure we were happy. After cleaning the floor he made sure it was fully dry and ready for sealing - this is without a doubt where his attention to detail shone through - there were a few areas that were still a little damp so rather than just rush the job he came back a few days later to treat that area separately. ( I genuinely believe other companies would have just sealed it without it being ready) we had a quote off one company telling us it would be done and sealed in a day - HH floor care did it properly and it was approx 10 day process from beginning to end! (don't worry most of this was to allow the floor to fully dry before sealing). Some of the grout work needed repairing and again this was all dealt with - we literally didn't have to do a thing. Its not often in life you meet a professional that is so meticulous in their work and its been an absolute pleasure to meet Aurelijus and for him to carry out the work on our flooring. An absolute master at his job. Thankyou

Accidentally spilled a glass of fizzy drink which went over upholstered bed frame and wool carpet. Aurelijus cleaned the upholstery and bedroom carpet and it looks like brand new! He also cleaned the landing and stair carpet for me. Carpets feel plush and fluffy again and beautifully clean. Excellent job done by Aurelijus and I will definitely get the other carpets cleaned in the New Year.

The whole service from beginning to end was excellent. Our limestone floor was cleaned and our stone fireplace was cleaned. The cleaning , sealing and associated work for both was absolutely first class. The results are a floor they looks like new and a fireplace which is beautifully clean. Extra work was put in and the value for money could not have been better. A very friendly and helpful technician carried out the work and was very informed about all aspects of the whole subject. First class!

Can not recommend HH Floor Care enough. We had Aurelijus in to clean the gym floor tiles, carpets and porcelain tiles at our new gym facility in Whitchurch and could not be more happy with the finished result. Aurelijus is very friendly, extremely helpful, arrives on time and really takes care with his service. So thorough with his cleaning and gave us some great maintenance advice. If you need your flooring looking at HH Floor Care are the right team to get in touch with. Thanks so much Aurelijus

Great job by Aurelijus. Explained the whole process from stripping the wooden floors to sealing them. Hard to recognise them now compared to how bad they looked before. Extremely helpful and nothing too much. Even cleaned the tile floors in the bathrooms that now look like new compared to the previous blackened grout. Would not hesitate to recommend and to contact again when we need any further work.

The rug is in the kitchen and was very dirty, we have pets, a dog, cat and two children and it has had years of wear and tear and spillages. I can't believe how good the rug looks now after it has been cleaned, it really looks like new. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job. Mrs Caroline Griffiths
