Dallas County Considers Residential Cleaning an “Essential” Business.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins has issued an order requiring all non-essential businesses to close down. This order is active from Monday at 11:59 pm, March 23rd until 11:59 pm on April due to COVID-19 pandemic. But which businesses are considered essential?

It’s clear that healthcare facilities, pharmacies, and grocery stores are essential. On the other hand, shopping malls, bowling alleys, and hair salons are not. The order states residential “cleaning and maintenance” is an essential business. 

The order states “Essential Businesses” means “Essential Services Necessary to Maintain Essential Operations of Residences”. This includes “building cleaning and maintenance”. It further states “service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintaining the safety, sanitation…of residences and Essential Businesses.” You can see a small section of the order in the image below.

Similar proclamations and ordinances were issued in other states, especially California and Nevada, as well as the CDC guidelines for keeping homes clean and sanitized on a regular basis. Even OSHA issued recommendations for keeping regular housekeeping:

Our professional cleaners and office staff have been beyond zealous in adhering to the Coronavirus and Flu Policies and Procedures we implemented. They know their health and the health of their family depends upon it! To further protect you and your family along with our staff, here is the Client section of Dallas Maids’ safety measures:

  • Professional home cleaners will wear a mask if requested.
  • Professional home cleaners will need to sanitize hands before entering the home and wash with soap and water upon entering and departing home.
