Electrostatic sprayers use positive and negative charges to make disinfecting solutions electromagnetically stick to targeted surfaces. For example, no matter which angle you disinfect a surface from, the charge created by the electrostatic sprayer makes the disinfectant wrap around and cling to the entire surface. The system is faster than traditional wiping and safe for people, animals and plants. Your facility is ready to use within minutes of application.
The disinfectants we use are EPA registered, and hold kill claims for viral, bacterial and fungal infections in addition to Coronavirus, TB, C. Difficile and biofilm. Our job is to create safe spaces year-round, not just during a pandemic. Done regularly, this is a service that can fight against the cold and flu all year long.
While there are a variety of effective disinfection methods, for example the towel and bucket method or disinfecting wipes, the most effective method of disinfection as both a preventative and reactive measure is electrostatic disinfection. Electrostatic disinfection devices use positive and negative charges to make disinfecting solutions electromagnetically adhere to surfaces to achieve 360-degree coverage. We recommend this service at least one time per week.
At Cleaning Scouts, we use commercial grade disinfectants with emerging viral pathogens and human coronavirus claims for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. These disinfectants come recommended by the EPA and can be found on their N-List. The right products paired with the proper methods produce effective outcomes to better serve you.

Electrostatic disinfection does not create a protective barrier. It disinfects, or kills, unwanted pathogens from every targeted surface, but won't protect those surfaces from becoming infected again. Institutions like medical facilities, schools and gyms may require electrostatic disinfection more frequently because they are introduced to new, potentially harmful pathogens on a daily basis. Whereas other industries will need it at least one time per week.
Yes, Electrostatic disinfection can be safely performed around electronics such as laptops, monitors and keyboards if it is not applied directly at close range. We recommend putting away paper documents, along with anything else you don't want sprayed before the scheduled service.

While your facility is safe to reenter immediately after it has been sprayed, we recommend waiting at least 10 minutes to allow the disinfectant to dry. This also allows enough time for the disinfectant to dwell on surfaces long enough to kill unwanted pathogens. There is little to no downtime with Electrostatic Sanitation and a lot of clients prefer after business hours for this service.
It is, however, as a safety measure we perform a spot test on upholstered surfaces before spraying. Some dyes can be affected by the disinfectants we used.
There can be a light residue. Disinfection often leaves streaks, and in this case, a light haze. If touchpoints and surfaces are being wiped down daily, which they should be, residue can be mitigated.
