The InsightScoop sanitation stack
We disinfect in three steps: pre-rinse, pet-safe enzymatic cleaner, then a final isopropyl wipe on high-touch surfaces like scoops and Bluetooth remotes.
Our enzymatic blend neutralizes pathogens including giardia, parvo, and roundworm eggs while remaining safe for turf, decks, and composite surfaces.

DIY sanitation checklist
Use a dedicated rinse bucket so contaminants never flow into storm drains.
Scrub tools with a stiff brush, apply enzyme solution for at least 60 seconds, then rinse with low-pressure water.
Finish with a 70% isopropyl wipe on handles, Bluetooth shutters, and phone mounts.
When to escalate
If a household experiences parvo, coccidia, or giardia, request InsightScoop's high-temp sanitization add-on and consult your vet for yard-safe disinfectant guidance.
Wait 48 hours before reintroducing dogs after a confirmed contagion. InsightScoop logs sanitation photos so you have proof of compliance.
Key Takeaway
Consistent sanitation protects pets, techs, and the next yard on the route. Copy our protocol or add InsightScoop's sanitation service to your weekly plan.
