Q: ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION ~ WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Electrostatic spraying or disinfection is a process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects. Designed to kill germs, bacteria, and viruses. It’s a safe, timesaving, effective, and touch-less application, which means zero cross-contamination. It significantly improves infection control and reduces the spread of viruses by applying disinfectant in a controlled, safe, efficient manner.

Q: HOW DOES ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION WORK? Electrostatic sprayers use positively charged, atomized particles to make disinfecting solutions electromagnetically stick to targeted negative surfaces. The charge created by the electrostatic sprayer makes the disinfectant stick to surfaces, such as chairs, under tables and desks. One of the many benefits of electrostatic disinfection is that all surfaces, even areas or upholstered surfaces that can’t get wiped down, are disinfected through this technology. That’s reassuring when you think of irregularly shaped or hard to reach objects and surfaces. Airlines, healthcare facilities, veterinary office and childcare facilities have been using this technology for decades.
Q: IS IT EFFECTIVE AGAINST COVID-19? Yes, as long as the disinfectant applied meets the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen Claim for SARS-COV-2, the cause of Covid-19, typically referred to as List N.
Q: HOW IS IT PRICED? Pricing is based on square footage and frequency of application visits.
Q: HOW LONG WILL ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION TAKE? A properly equipped and trained technician can cover a significant square footage footprint from a productivity perspective.
Q: HOW LONG DOES ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION LAST FOR? Electrostatic disinfection doesn’t create a protective barrier. Rather it disinfects or kills, germs, and viruses on targeted surfaces. It will not stop these areas from becoming contaminated again and thus the frequency of electrostatic disinfection is up to you – with some facilities such as schools, gyms, and medical uses opting for more frequent service.
Q: DOES IT LEAVE A RESIDUE? Yes, electrostatic disinfection may leave a light layer of residue, as this process creates a fine mist and is allowed to dry naturally. Dwell time routines mean that the product is left on surfaces without removal to maximize the disinfection process.
Q: IS ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION SAFE TO USE ON ALL SURFACES? Yes, electrostatic disinfection can be safely carried out around electronics such as keyboards, laptops, and monitors. Recommendations are that the product is not sprayed directly at close range, but to spray at a distance of 2-3 feet.
Q: IS ELECTROSTATIC DISINFECTION SAFE FOR THOSE NEARBY DURING APPLICATION? Yes, electrostatic disinfection is absolutely safe for not only the person applying it but is safe also for occupants within the facility. Please note that while the typical disinfectant product is not caustic, is it recommended that occupants not be present during application and for 20 minutes after to allow dry time.
