What is Electrostatic Disinfection?
Electrostatic disinfection uses specialized sprayers that give EPA-registered disinfectant droplets a positive electrical charge. Since most surfaces are naturally neutral or negatively charged, the positively charged droplets are attracted to surfaces and wrap around objects, coating them completely - including undersides, back surfaces, and crevices that traditional spraying misses.
The Science Behind Electrostatic Spraying
As disinfectant passes through the electrostatic sprayer nozzle, it receives a positive charge. The charged droplets repel each other (like magnets), spreading evenly, and are attracted to surfaces. This creates complete, even coverage that's impossible with traditional trigger sprayers or pump sprayers.
360-Degree Coverage
Charged droplets wrap around objects, coating all surfaces including undersides, backs, and hard-to-reach areas.
Faster Application
Cover large areas in a fraction of the time compared to wiping or traditional spraying. Ideal for schools, offices, and large facilities.
Less Chemical Usage
The efficient mist uses less disinfectant than traditional methods while achieving better coverage. Better for your budget and the environment.
Touchless Application
No wiping or touching surfaces during application reduces cross-contamination risk. Ideal for high-touch areas.
Ideal Applications
- Schools and Daycares: Quickly disinfect classrooms, cafeterias, and play areas
- Medical Facilities: Exam rooms, waiting areas, and high-touch surfaces
- Office Buildings: Workstations, conference rooms, and common areas
- Gyms and Fitness Centers: Equipment, locker rooms, and studio spaces
- Retail Stores: Fitting rooms, checkout areas, and merchandise displays
- Churches: Pews, fellowship halls, and nursery areas
Our Process
1. Assessment: We evaluate your facility to determine the best approach and identify sensitive equipment.
2. Preparation: Cover or protect sensitive electronics and remove food items from treatment areas.
3. Application: Our trained technicians apply EPA-registered disinfectant using professional electrostatic equipment.
4. Dwell Time: We allow proper contact time for the disinfectant to be effective (varies by product).
5. Documentation: We can provide treatment documentation for your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does electrostatic disinfection work?
Electrostatic sprayers give disinfectant droplets a positive electrical charge. Since surfaces are naturally neutral or negative, the charged droplets are attracted to surfaces and wrap around objects, providing complete 360-degree coverage including undersides and hard-to-reach areas.
Is electrostatic disinfection safe for electronics?
Yes, when applied correctly. The fine mist uses minimal liquid, and our technicians are trained to protect sensitive electronics. We recommend covering or powering down certain equipment as a precaution.
How long does it take to dry?
Most surfaces dry within 5-15 minutes depending on humidity and ventilation. The space can typically be reoccupied once surfaces are dry.
What disinfectants do you use?
We use EPA-registered disinfectants that are effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. We can discuss specific product options based on your facility's needs and any environmental preferences.
