Electrostatic spray technology is a new way to apply cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants to help facilities treat surfaces, often in less time and with better coverage than traditional cleaning methods. The technology is well-established, with a history of more than 60 years in other areas, including agriculture, automotive, and tanning industries, but it has only recently been applied to surface disinfection. Electrostatic sprays have gained an excellent reputation for effectively reducing pathogens on hard to reach surfaces in workplaces.

Electrostatic spray gives objects an even, 360-degree coating made possible by the negative charge of the sprayed solution as it exits the tool’s nozzle and the positive charge of the surfaces it reaches. It uses electrostatics to attach to and wrap around harmful microorganisms and remove them from surfaces, including those that are difficult to reach.

Compared to the traditional 'wipe-and-go' disinfecting method, electrostatic disinfection saves time, money, and labour as it requires less time to cover a large area, and uses up to 50% less solution. It's the quickest and most thorough way of disinfecting large facilities such as offices, classrooms, airports, etc.

Along with being an efficient method of disinfecting large spaces, such as open plan offices to school cafeterias, electrostatic disinfection also has the following benefits: Reduced chemical waste Traditional methods rely on the application of disinfectant that is then manually spread across surfaces. This method leads to areas being oversprayed and/or missed. With electrostatic sprayers, every surface gets an even coating of disinfectant solution, so we only use as much as is truly necessary. Environmentally friendly Less cleaning products used means less environmental impact. The reduced waste associated with electrostatic sprayers results in less run-off or byproduct getting into the local ecosystem. Cost effective There are several ways electrostatic disinfecting can save on costs compared to traditional methods. Not only do we use less disinfectant solution, application time is also faster. No manual wiping or polishing is required on most surfaces.

Electrostatic disinfection can be used on many surfaces and in many facility types. It's safe to use in offices, schools, medical facilities, commercial kitchens and many other spaces that require complete disinfection. At Germ Busters Bermuda, we tailor our services to meet your facilities' needs. Some facilities choose to use electrostatic disinfecting as a substitute for manual disinfecting methods like wipes and trigger sprays, while others use our services as an additional step to augment their standard cleaning to ensure comprehensive surface coverage. Check out the list of facilities and surfaces that are ideal for electrostatic disinfection - Ideal for Use in These Spaces.

Electrostatic disinfection is intended to disinfect surfaces on contact, killing any germs, bacteria or viruses that are on those surfaces at the time of application. It cannot prevent reinfection. This is important to keep in mind when considering the frequency of disinfection that works best for your facilities. Some facilities that see higher traffic and use, such as hospitals, schools, and gyms are exposed to many potential pathogens on a daily basis, and would benefit from daily electrostatic disinfection. Others, such as closed offices, may only need to be electrostatically disinfected once a week. Contact Germ Busters Bermuda to help determine the right frequency for your facilities.

Electrostatic disinfectants begin to work immediately when sprayed and the surfaces should remain wet for at least two minutes to allow the appropriate dwell time. Our Bioesque Botanical Disinfectant Solution is a great choice for hazard-conscious or environmentally sensitive settings. This professional-grade disinfectant - Kills 99.99 percent of viruses in one minute. Kills 99.99 percent of bacteria in two minutes. Kills 99.99 percent of fungi and molds in three minutes. Kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis in three minutes. For more information on Bioesque visit https://bioesquesolutions.com/botanical-disinfectant-solution/.

Yes, electrostatic disinfection and the sprays used in electrostatic cleaning tools are extremely safe for tool operators, people present during cleaning, and people occupying the space after cleaning. Cleaning companies using this method will typically ask that you wait one to two hours after a space has finished receiving treatment before entering the area. However, once the application process is complete and dry, the space is safe for both people and animals. Masks and PPE are not required.

Electrostatic sprayer systems are available in several models, such as rolling cart systems powered through a power plug, and handheld and backpack sprayers that use battery power. While handheld and backpack models offer the operator flexibility, we found that batteries simply aren't powerful enough to generate a consistent and reliable charge to deliver the electrostatic performance needed to cover surfaces completely and evenly each time you spray. This is why Germ Busters Bermuda uses a corded-powered rolling cart system which provides consistent power and droplet charging, allowing us to deliver better electrostatic disinfection performance for your facilities.

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. Germ Busters Bermuda uses Bioesque Botanical Disinfectant Solution which is formulated without phthalates, propylparaben, butylparaben, formaldehyde, formaldehyde-dnors, or NPE’s. Electrostatic disinfection technology is also considered an eco-friendly method because it sprays up to 65% less chemicals per square foot.

Electrostatic spray is safe to use around a multitude of surfaces, such as wood, upholstery and electronics. Our staff are trained to properly use the electrostatic spray to apply disinfectant solution to surfaces to prevent any risk of damage.

Our electrostatic machine is manufactured by Clorox, and although the Clorox name is synonymous with bleach, our disinfectant solution does not contain bleach and is safe to use on most surfaces. The Bioesque Disinfectant Solution cleans and disinfects without bleaching and is free from Chlorine and Phosphates. Learn more about Bioesque Disinfectant Solution.

Cleaning Removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection. Disinfecting Kills germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. Sanitizing It lowers the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements. This process works by either cleaning or disinfecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection.
