What is Electrostatic Disinfectant Cleaning?

You are probably hearing A LOT about this at the moment. And don’t expect this to change in the foreseeable future.

So, what actually is it?

  • Electrostatic spray surface cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects. Electrostatic spray uses a specialized solution that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer. Subsequently, the spray contains positively charged particles that are able to aggressively adhere to surfaces and objects. Because the particles in the spray are positively charged, they cling to and coat any surface they’re aimed at.
  • The nature of the mist allows it to coat surfaces evenly allowing even the most awkward objects to be cleaned effectively. envelope objects—even if the mist is only sprayed from one side. After the spray is applied, the sanitizing agent works to disinfect the covered surfaces. 

For this reason, electrostatic spray is an excellent solution for germ and contaminant ridden areas and is the preferred method by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Should I use it? 

We strongly recommend reviewing the CDC Guidelines for cleaning your facility and would also preface that if you are in a high volume area, electrostatic cleaning has been advised as the best current method to nullify COVID-19.

To summarize…

  • Electrostatic cleaning will reduce the time it takes to cover and disinfect all surfaces AND clean those hard-to-reach places!
  • It will improve improves infection control and help mitigate the spread of viruses such as COVID-19  the spread of viruses such as influenza, MRSA, HIV and many others
  • You can use more environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals (check the EPA website for latest updates)
  • It’s application see’s chemicals applied in a more efficient, controlled manner, eliminating the dangers of overuse
