People can contract coronavirus and other illnesses like the flu by touching contaminated surfaces. In fact, both coronavirus and flu germs can live up to three days on hard surfaces. That’s why it is important to regularly clean and sanitize surfaces. Electrostatic Spray Technology provides a revolutionizing way to complete this task.
While this technology has been around since the 1940s, it’s only become a disinfecting force within the last few years. Many janitorial service companies have adopted this technology to fight the spread of germs.
From commercial businesses to classrooms, electrostatic spray disinfecting has emerged as a disinfecting hero against the coronavirus making it invaluable. It allows the operator of the machine to distribute a disinfectant more thoroughly and efficiently than ever before.
Cleantec employs electrostatic spray technology because it is so effective. Here we break down how it works, why it’s effective and when and where it should be used to stop the spread of COVID-19.
How Electrostatic Spray Technology Works
The electrostatic spray machines used for this type of disinfecting easily provide coverage of disinfecting and sanitizing solutions. When the chemical exits the electrostatic sprayer, it is given a positive electrical charge. The positively charged droplets are then attracted to all negative surfaces that are visible including the underside and sides.
Think of the attraction between magnets – when there is an exposed surface, the sanitizing product quickly adheres to it. You get superior coverage in hard-to-reach places including the side, underside, and backside of surfaces. The electrostatic spray technology enables the solution to wrap around an item or surface for a complete disinfection. It reaches areas that conventional trigger sprays can easily miss. The result is a uniform application of the disinfecting or sanitizing product – that and peace of mind knowing the solution is killing virus-causing germs in every crack and crevice.
Why It Is Effective
Using this technology with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved disinfectant for COVID-19 kills the virus more effectively when compared to conventional hand wiping methods. As previously stated, the electrostatic sprayer has the added advantage of being able to access harder to reach areas. Being electrically charged allows the solution to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces. This provides a more thorough and complete clean.
Ultimately, using electrostatic spray technology will save you more time, money, and labor then the conventional methods. Plus, you will be better protecting your customers and employees, which means a more productive work week.
When and Where Technology Should be Employed
These machines are great to use to provide continuous touch cleaning throughout your business day on high contact areas. Many businesses are also adding this technology to complement the normal cleaning/disinfecting they have done on a periodic basis.
Additionally, electrostatic sprayers are being used to completely disinfect spaces wherein an occupant has tested positive for COVID-19.
This technology does not replace conventional cleaning to remove visible dirt and grime. To ensure the effects of the electrostatic spray technology take full effect, conventional cleaning must be done on a regular basis. That said, this technology can also be used to distribute cleaning solutions as well. Just make sure that your janitorial service provider is compliant with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s cleaning and disinfecting guidelines for SARS-CoV-2.
