Electrostatic Disinfection
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Electrostatic disinfection is an advanced application method that applies an electrical charge to disinfectant droplets as they exit the sprayer. This charge causes the solution to cling to surfaces and wrap around objects, delivering a consistent, 360-degree coating—even on hard-to-reach areas.
-
Every cleaning visit includes a complimentary electrostatic disinfection treatment using Protexus technology paired with a hypochlorous acid solution.
Our cleaning staff undergoes ongoing training to safely and effectively apply this modern cleaning technology using hospital-grade disinfectants.
This premium add-on ensures comprehensive coverage across all high-touch and hard-to-reach surfaces—delivering a higher standard of cleanliness and infection control at no additional cost.
-
No. Electrostatic disinfection is designed to complement—not replace—manual cleaning. Surfaces must first be cleaned of dirt and organic material to ensure the disinfectant can properly contact and neutralize pathogens.
-
Unlike manual wiping, electrostatic spraying allows disinfectant to evenly coat surfaces with minimal gaps or missed areas. The charged droplets are attracted to surfaces and repel each other, creating a uniform layer while reducing oversaturation and waste.
-
Hypochlorous acid is a highly effective disinfectant that is widely recognized for its ability to neutralize bacteria and viruses while remaining gentle on surfaces and safer for indoor environments compared to harsher chemicals. It can be effectively applied through electrostatic sprayers to enhance surface coverage and disinfection performance.
-
Yes. When applied correctly using approved disinfectants - such as hypochlorous acid - electrostatic disinfection is a safe and efficient method for healthcare environments.
Proper application ensures effective coverage while minimizing chemical exposure, especially when ventilation and manufacturer guidelines are followed.
-
Electrostatic spraying allows for rapid application across large areas, but effectiveness depends on proper dwell (contact) time. Surfaces must remain visibly wet for the time specified by the manufacturer to ensure full pathogen kill.
