Desinfection Service to Businesses
Combining Full Coverage with Friendly Disinfection
INDEQA, a leading commercial cleaning service company that offers cleaning services, uses a range of products for cleaning and disinfection that are relatively safe for people, while targeting pathogens effectively with quick action. Our multi-step process provides a restroom hygiene service that carefully cleans surfaces including tile and grout to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants. Having removed the breeding ground and transport base for pathogens, we continue with our electrostatic spraying service, applying an even layer of medical-grade, EPA-approved disinfectant, chosen for its effectiveness against COVID-19 and relative safety for people. The result is bathroom surfaces that are sanitized down to microscopic levels. Frequent treatment provides an effective defense against viral transmission and the presence of other infectious agents. INDEQA also offers many of the products we use for sale to the customer, allowing touch-up cleaning as needed throughout the day.
Future Disinfectants Will Provide Self-Renewing Protection
There are disinfectants being tested that use nanotechnology to periodically release disinfectant chemicals, relying on targeted effectiveness rather than chemical strength. These products will allow surfaces to be protected for months at a time, especially useful for frequent touch surfaces such as railings and doorknobs. For the time being, services such as regular electrostatic spraying that disinfect thoroughly while protecting workers and bathroom visitors are your best bet. INDEQA’s COVID-19 cleaning service also includes a range of related hygiene services such as paper product resupplying and management of hand sanitizer stations. Our complete leading commercial cleaning service solution helps reduce the “viral vectors” that keep pathogens moving from person to person.
What is Electrostatic Spraying? Deep Cleaning at a Distance
Whether it’s a restroom sink handle, a hostess stand stacked with menus, or a kid’s play area full of books and toys, in any kind of business there are an endless number of surfaces that are contaminated with hundreds of thousands of germs and disease-causing pathogens. Floors, doors, walls, you name it; they’re germy. From car dealerships and restaurants to office buildings, universities and hospitals, no business is immune.
We’ve all seen those shocking photos of areas that “look” clean until they are put under a microscope and disease-causing pathogens such as MRSA, Norovirus, Influenza H1N1, HIV, Hepatitis, E. coli, Streptococcus, and Salmonella (to name a few) come to light.
Fortunately, the cleaning industry is evolving and bringing new germ killers and disinfectants to the fight, specifically, electrostatic spraying.
Electrostatic spraying, a method of adding a positive electric charge to a liquid applied from a sprayer, is not entirely new. The paint industry has been using it for decades to ensure nice, even coats of paint on all kinds of products. But now the cleaning industry has adopted the method as an improved way to clean and disinfect any kind of surface you can imagine
Here’s how it works
An uncharged disinfectant is put into an electrostatic sprayer. Before it releases through the nozzle, a positive electric charge is applied. As it releases from the sprayer, the liquid breaks up into small positively-charged particles that repel each other and atomize. Opposites attract, and those positively charged particles are drawn to and adhere to negatively-charged surfaces. Walls, floors, and fixtures are naturally grounded and negatively-charged. In this case, dirty, germ-infested, negatively-charged surfaces and positively-charged disinfectant from an electrostatic sprayer go together like yin and yang
Why it’s better
Electrostatic spraying ensures a complete and even coat of disinfectant is applied to all surfaces from a (not too far) distance. No more worrying about the old mop and bucket method or getting on your hands and knees, which can result in an uneven application or wiping germs from one area to another causing cross-contamination
Electrostatic spraying also has a huge advantage when it comes to getting hard-to-reach places, especially those dark and grimy corners and undersides in a restroom where few would ever venture. In cleaning large spaces or hard to reach areas, spots inevitably get missed, either by accident or simply because a cleaning crew may opt to focus on high-touch areas. Electrostatic sprayers can easily spray every surface in every room, so you get a more thorough disinfecting. This is critical in areas like hospitals or places susceptible to food-borne illnesses.
Another advantage of electrostatic spraying is that it naturally works with the science behind killing bacteria. For disinfecting to do its job, it generally needs to sit on a surface for at least 5-10 minutes WET to kill bacteria. Anyone who simply sprays and wipes (very common) and tells you your space is disinfected is lying. It needs time to work. When an electrostatic sprayer is used you can spray it and forget about it. The time it takes the surfaces to dry is the time it needs to do its job, completely and thoroughly.
