Do you know the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting? In today's COVID climate, it's important to know in order to keep your facilities safe.
Cleaning - Physically removes dirt and impurities from surfaces or objects using soaps or detergents.
Sanitizing - Lowers the number of germs on clean surfaces or objects to a safe level, lowering the risk of spreading infections.
Disinfecting - Kills germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces, but by killing pathogens on a surface after cleaning, it significantly lowers the risk of spreading infections.
Germ Busters Bermuda uses electrostatic disinfection to effectively kill germs, bacteria, and viruses on all surfaces - even hard to reach areas that other methods typically miss. It's the ideal accompaniment to your regular cleaning regimen to keep the community safe while they're in your facilities.
