For awkwardly shaped objects or hard to reach places, cleaning staff only have to point and spray; the nature of the mist allows it to coat surfaces evenly, and envelope objects—even if the mist is only sprayed from one side. After the spray is applied, the sanitizing agent works to disinfect the covered surfaces. For this reason, electrostatic spray is an excellent solution for germ and contaminant ridden areas.

Electrostatic spray is electrically charged, allowing the appropriate sanitizers, mold preventatives and disinfectants to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces for a more complete clean.

1. Can my family be at home during this process?
   Yes. All of our processes and products are safe for your family.
2. Is this safe for my pets?
   Yes. Pets can walk on the floors and it will not harm them.
3. How soon can space be used after an electrostatic and/or fogging disinfecting service?
   Spaces can be used an hour after the electrostatic disinfectant services. We recommend that all personnel vacate the service area during these services and that all air units and fans be shut off until space is reoccupied.
4. How often do you recommend service to be conducted?
   Electrostatic services can be conducted as often as required by the site and situation. Medical facilities typically require more frequent services, however during peak flu seasons sensitive facilities (e.g. education centers, sports facilities, etc.) tend to increase their service frequency.
5. How long does the service last on treated areas?
   The service lasts throughout the chemical dwell time and as long as space is not reinfected with bacteria and/or viruses. If you think space becomes reinfected, then we recommend follow-up electrostatic/fogging services.
6. What’s the difference between using a cleaner and using a disinfectant?
   If a surface is dirty, it must be cleaned before the surface can be adequately sanitized and disinfected. Dirt and grime create a barrier that will not allow a sanitizer/disinfectant to do its job. So, to fully protect your office and work environment, it’s important to clean first and then sanitize/disinfect.

The solutions United Building Maintenance uses to clean and disinfect qualify as EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens that are suitable for porous and non-porous surfaces.

10. With so many disinfectants on the market, how does United Building Maintenance choose the best one?
    It is definitely true that not all disinfectants are created equal. Some disinfectants are highly toxic, contain VOC’s and require a rinse after 10 minutes. Some disinfectants will even permanently damage floors, counters and other surfaces.

Chlorine dioxide has been used during Anthrax attacks, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, to purify drinking water, and most recently to kill MRSA in schools and hospitals.
