Questions & Answers
Electrostatic disinfection saves time, energy and costs across the board by presenting a more efficient alternative to traditional cleaning techniques and cleaning solution applications. For desktops, floors and walls that need to be spotless, electrostatic spray cleaning is the best option. The same goes for equipment and hard-to-reach places; if a piece of equipment is heavily trafficked, electrostatic spray cleaning can completely remove germs and dirt.
- Aids infection control and helps prevent the spread of viruses like SARS, Coronavirus, E. Coli Salmonella, Norovirus, MRSA and HIV, as well as the common cold and influenza
- Applies chemicals to surfaces in a controlled manner to eliminate overuse, reduce the amount of chemicals used and reduce the amount of waste produced
- Protects companies against costly financial burdens associated with contagious healthcare infections and reduces costs associated with purchasing chemical solutions and supporting long-term cleaning efforts
- Serves as a defense from cross-contamination and moving germs and bacteria from one surface to another
- Reduces the time it takes to disinfect surfaces by 50% compared to traditional cleaning methods
Our product is on the list of EPA approved disinfectants deemed to be effective against COVID-19.
Just because a home or business is visually clean, does not mean it is germ free. Cleaners are working on getting your establishment visually clean, not sanitary. In fact, if done incorrectly, it can spread germs.
No, our product has no sticky residue. The antimicrobial residual is microscopic. However, if any obviously soiled areas that is not pre-cleaned before disinfectant is applied may leave some visible residue, which would need to be wiped with water once dry.
No. We think that this is so important, that we want it to be affordable. The reason we are willing to work on such a low margin of profit because we hope you will know, like and trust us enough to use our other services and refer us to your friends and family.
Much like housecleaning, it depends largely on your situation. Professional disinfection should be seen as a part of your overall health and wellness plan. There are many factors that go into the frequency of professional disinfection, to include: Are public visitors frequent to your home or business? Are employees washing hands upon entering the premise, and frequently during the day? Are employees keeping their area clean utilizing disinfecting wipes daily? Do you have a janitorial service or cleaning service removing organic waste and conducting general cleaning? Have you had anyone symptomatic or a potential contamination? Do you have kids and pets, do you go many places, are you asthmatic or immune challenged? These, along with personal preference, determine what schedule is best. We will work with you to determine what is best for YOU.
We can guarantee that all hard, non-porous surfaces will be sanitized when we leave. But, just like with any cleaning, we cannot prevent re-exposure.
Yes, highly recommended. You basic janitorial cleaning or home cleaning should be conducted prior to treatment to increase the effectiveness. This includes wiping down all surfaces to remove organic waste, vacuuming floors, and removing all trash on surfaces to be sprayed.
We use non-toxic hospital grade, EPA approved disinfectants.
Yes. There will be a slight chlorine smell that dissipates quickly after application leaving what most end users describe as a “clean” or “sterile” smell.
Electrostatic disinfection is used at countless types of facilities and is most beneficial to those that see regular high traffic, contain hard-to-reach objects that need cleaning, have increased exposure to harmful microorganisms or experience or suspect an outbreak of an infectious disease. It is also effective in spaces where mold has been spotted. Some spaces that use electrostatic cleaning include corporate buildings, medical and healthcare facilities, K-12 schools and university campuses, commercial kitchens, houses of worship, clean rooms and R&D facilities.
The amount of time required to perform electrostatic disinfection services is highly dependent on the size of the area to be cleaned. It’s important to follow application instructions in order to allow the solutions to work effectively, and the length of time needed for application will depend on the size of the room and type of facility—for example, an open warehouse will require less time than a typical office with furniture and electronic equipment. If there is a certain level of dirt on surfaces as well, they may be pre-wiped prior to spraying.
Electrostatic disinfectants begin to work immediately when sprayed and the surfaces should remain wet with applied solutions for at least two minutes to allow the appropriate dwell time. Typically, chemicals are applied while spaces are vacant. Top Quality Building Maintenance asks that occupants of the space wait a minimum of two to four hours after application before reentering the space.
Yes, electrostatic disinfection is environmentally friendly, however this largely depends on the chemical solutions that are used to fill the disinfection tools. The electrostatic process can be performed with many different types of disinfectants, including green cleaning products. Top Quality Building Maintenance uses only environmentally friendly products in its cleaning procedures, and you should make sure to read all information and warnings for the solution you select. Electrostatic disinfection technology is also considered an eco-friendly method because it sprays up to 65% less chemicals per square foot.
Electrostatic cleaning kills germs, bacteria and viruses from surfaces and lasts for a while. However, it won’t continuously prevent covered surfaces from becoming re-infected. Some institutions that see higher traffic and use, such as hospitals, schools and businesses, will benefit more from continued or regular use of electrostatic disinfection.
Yes, electrostatic system enables water-based solutions to meet their dwell time, therefore ensuring that the solution works to its full capabilities.
Most surface areas are neutral (uncharged) or negative. Our system applies disinfectant to a target surface area using an electrostatic force of attraction called Coulomb’s Law. Using Coulomb’s Law, the electrostatic technology places a positive charge on the disinfectant as it leaves the spray nozzle. Considering most surface areas are neutral or negative, our positively charged system optimizes surface adhesion and attraction (electromagnetic theory).
