Residential electrostatic disinfecting
What's the big difference with ESD (Electrostatic Disinfecting) ?
Conventional disinfection services can only cover up to 35% of all surfaces in your home. ESD works differently. Our electrostatic technology introduces negatively charged electrodes into EPA registered disinfectant for COVID19. When sprayed, the disinfectant is attracted to surfaces, effectively allowing every corner and surface to be covered.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Idaho Cleaning Services uses an anti-microbial solution that is approved for use in hospitals and government agencies and institutions.
How Does It Work?
ESD produces a fine negatively charged mist that remains on all surfaces, both hard and soft, eliminating pathogens on surfaces, including ceilings, walls, furniture and floors. It allows a complete covering, so that the proper dwell time is established to kill bacteria and viruses.
It can disinfectant nooks and crannies and areas that may be difficult to clean otherwise. In most cases it’s not necessary to move furniture before or during the cleaning process.
How long dies it take?
The Center for Disease Control recommends: “Cleaning visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.”
We highly recommend that we first perform a Deep Cleaning of your home. Most ESD applications take about one hour to two hours.
Know The Difference Between Cleaning, Disinfecting, And Sanitizing
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.
Importance of High Touch-Point Disinfecting.
A few examples of touch points are light switches, TV remotes, computer keyboards, doorknobs, appliance handles, elevator buttons. These are considered high risk areas to encounter disease, viruses, and germs.
First we perform a Deep Cleaning, along with our Touch-Point cleaning, of your home. For a typical 2 bed 2 bath home, the fogging process takes approximately one hour immediately after the cleaning. Yes, people and pets should leave the premises while the fogging takes place to allow the solution time to set without disturbance.
Is it Safe to Spray Electronics
Yes! Because the contact dwell time required is minimal, a fine mist on electronics will not cause harm. This allows hard to reach areas on electonics to be disinfected, by not over saturating the sensetive equipment.
