Disinfection and
Sanitization Control

Disinfection & Sanitization

Sanitizing and disinfecting is done with the help of chemicals and/or sometimes heat to kill germs. Disinfectants are more effective at killing germs than sanitizers and both are specific to the germs they kill. Some disinfectants work better when the dirt and organic material have been removed first. Sometimes a cleaning product is used first and then a surface is sanitized or disinfected.

Sanitization

Sanitizing is done with the use of a chemical product or device (like a dishwasher) that reduces the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a level considered safe by public health standards or requirements. Sanitizing kills most germs but not all of them and it does not remove dirt. Sanitizers are most often used in food service settings. Think of a hand sanitizer; washing your hands is the preferred first step; use sanitizer when washing facilities are unavailable. A sanitizer or disinfectant can also be a water-based device, for example, those that use steam.

Disinfection

Disinfecting chemicals kill 99.999% of germs on hard, non-porous surfaces or objects. It is much less effective on other surfaces. Disinfectants are antimicrobial pesticides and must be registered. Disinfecting does not clean dirty surfaces or remove germs. It kills germs on contact (usually requires a certain amount of disinfectant on the surface for a certain length of time). The overuse and misuse of these products is a growing public health and environmental concern. Studies have found that the use of some disinfectant products is creating microbes that can mutate into forms that are resistant to disinfectants or that become superbugs (germs resistant to antibiotics). Also, some of these chemical hazards can accumulate in our environment and contaminate our drinking water.

Disinfectant Cold ULV Fogger

Our cold ULV (ultra low volume) fogger can disinfect and sanitize a space using the natural solution to protect against harmful pathogens.

It’s 5-10 meters spray range can cover larger surface areas faster and more efficiently to save you time and labour when cleaning. The 5-litres solution reservoir is able to cover 10,000-15,000 square feet with a single refill.

This non-thermal system has a nozzle that can adjust the droplet size from 5-10 microns, to provide the ultimate coverage and precision. It also has a “blow dryer” function, which can immediately blow dry electrical components and metals that cannot be left exposed to any liquid droplets.
