How Electrostatic Disinfection Works

In our current climate, it is crucial to have spaces cleaned to the highest possible standard to ensure the safety and protection of those who enter them. Why Bother Cleaning can provide this service and have added the use of Electrostatic Disinfection Technology to combat viruses such as Covid-19.

‘The New Normal’

With the Covid-19 infection rate rising, face masks are now mandatory in shops in the UK, hand sanitisation stations aren’t looked at twice, and as people slowly return to work, these spaces have to be thoroughly disinfected. As an established Brighton and Hove cleaning company, we knew that we had to be ready to support the health and safety of people returning to ‘the new normal’.

Following the initial outbreak, we had staff trained on Infection Control and Prevention, and on the use of Electrostatic Disinfection equipment so we could be fully prepared to deep clean and disinfect areas that people frequently share.

What is Electrostatic Disinfection?

Following Coulomb’s Law, Electrostatic spray is electrically charged, which allows the cleaning solution to ‘envelope’ all types of surfaces. As the chemical leaves the electrostatic spray nozzle, a positive charge atomises the cleaning solution and becomes attracted to all negative surfaces. The spray evenly coats all areas and provides 360-degree coverage without the need to wipe down. Surfaces that are already covered will repel the spray, which makes this method extremely efficient with minimal disruption. Our Electrostatic Disinfectant solution is effective against Covid-19 and is efficient against all microbial classes.
