As we all face this period of pandemic, Collegiate homes have come up of a great safety measure to ensure the safety of everyone (our employees, tenants, off campus students..) Our off-campus houses and office have gone through Electrostatic Sanitizing. And we would like to share it so that everyone can benefit out of it.
β
~What is Electrostatic Sanitizing? And how does it work?
β
Electrostatic disinfecting is a way of quickly and evenly coating a surface with a disinfecting solution. This is done by using an electrostatic applicator that gives a negative charge to the disinfecting solution as it exits the nozzle.
β
The charged molecules will repel each other, meaning they will be an even distance from each other, but will be attracted to the surface they are applied to. The charged particles have a charge strength greater than gravity allowing them to directionally target a selected surface very quickly providing near immediate room reentry.
β
~Why Is Electrostatic Sanitizing So Effective?
β
Harmful pathogens can live on surfaces for days, and will potentially double every 20 minutes given the right food source and ambient temperature. This provides ample opportunity to create situations for cross contamination.
β
Conventional cleaning and disinfecting does a fine job of managing microbiological load on common touch points. However, the evolutionary flexibility of modern pathogens is such that we need to add new strategies to manage cross contamination and microbial load in many types of facilities well beyond acute care. Electrostatic disinfecting provides a broad-spectrum approach to disinfecting a complete surface area and an entire room as we have never seen before.
