Thoroughly cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting your office is essential to keeping employees healthy. Read on to learn why electrostatic disinfection is likely to take over workplace cleaning.
Electrostatic disinfection is an exciting and new method that offices use to clean their workplace. Many companies across the globe have already started using this new technology to disinfect and sanitize their workplaces.Â
Electrostatic disinfectant technology helps protect surfaces from viruses, bacteria, and other illness-causing germs. Not to mention, it also makes workplace disinfection more effective, less time-consuming, and cost-effective.
What is Electrostatic Disinfection?
Electrostatic disinfection uses electrostatic technology that involves spraying a cleaning solution onto surfaces in the workplace. The cleaning liquid will have positive particles while dirty, infected surfaces are negatively charged.Â
It is an effective cleaning method since the negative dirt particles on the surface attract the positively charged cleaning particles. As a result, this attraction leads to an even spread of the disinfectant liquid. Furthermore, the charged droplets of disinfectant solution also easily wrap around objects that are otherwise hard to reach.Â
Offer Better Coverage
Manual disinfection often misses out on certain areas and spots that are hard to reach. As a result, many spots remain disinfected even after cleaning. But, electrostatic disinfection technology eliminates this issue.Â
Electrostatic sanitization services spray the disinfectant liquid everywhere, allowing the droplets to disperse in hidden spots. As an example, your janitor may not be able to disinfect the area behind a toilet since it is difficult to reach. With electrostatic disinfection, they can spray this spot to disinfect.Â
On the other hand, the negatively charged particles of unclean surfaces attract the positively charged particles of the disinfectant. This results in the liquid spreading evenly on surfaces in the workplace.Â
Less Time-Consuming
Traditional disinfection methods require cleaning the objects and surfaces before starting the disinfection process. Disinfectants tend to have no effect if surfaces are covered in dust or dirt.Â
Of course, your janitorial staff will still need to clean before disinfecting, but the process of disinfection takes relatively less time. Typically, manual disinfection includes using trigger sprays and wipes to clean objects and surfaces in the workplace.Â
This manual labor can take up a lot of time while the janitorial staff remains exposed to bacteria and germs. Electrostatic disinfection sprayers can work from up to 6 feet away while covering more surfaces. Thus, electrostatic technology also saves time.
More Cost-Effective
Manual disinfection involves using disinfectant wipes or cloth and disinfectant liquid to sanitize workplace surfaces. This method makes it easy to use too much product when disinfecting objects and surfaces.Â
However, methods of electrostatic disinfection ensure that you do not waste the disinfectant liquid while cleaning. The electrostatic technology allows droplets to spread evenly onto surfaces, preventing overuse at all costs.
It is especially beneficial as it keeps the dwell time of different disinfectant liquids in mind. Dwell time refers to when a disinfectant must be left on a surface to kill bacteria, viruses, and germs effectively.
