Bio-Fogging: Deep Clean and Sanitise Service
At ServiceMaster we are always looking to offer our clients new cleaning solutions. Following recent COVID19 events we have invested in several STERiZAR Fog Machines which will enable us to sanitise whole rooms quickly.
The use of fogging procedures alongside normal cleaning methods should be seen as an extra benefit to providing a safer and healthier environment.
Utilising Sterizar’s barrier control system the Steri-Air machine emits a dry fog with ultra light micro-particles that treat the air and all surfaces it touches.
This system gives complete sanitisation and kills all bacteria, including C Diff. E Coli. MRSA and NDM1 and 99.99% of all other bacteria thus ensuring no smells. Combined with a 30 day active barrier Sterizar is an essential tool in the effective combatting of infections.
SteriZar is a biocidal disinfectant highly tested & proven effective against all Bacteria, Viruses, Spores, & Fungi while remaining safe to use and fully biodegradable.
What is Bio-fogging?
Bio-fogging is a sterilisation technique that creates a dry or wet mist which eliminates a high percentage, if not all, pathogens that cannot be reached by conventional cleaning. It is long established and recognised method of sterilising an entire surface area, including walls, ceilings, furnishing, carpets and floors. The methods involved in the Bio-fogging process have been used and developed over a number of years.
How effective is Bio-fogging?
Bio-fogging is an extremely effective sterilisation method. Biocides are used in the process and is proven to work effectively against viruses, fungi, spores and bacteria such as Influenza, MRSA, C.difficile, Norovirus.
The biocides we use conform to the EU Standards Biocide Directive.
Does Fogging Damage Surfaces?
SteriZar will not cause damage to any surrounding surfaces be it hard surface or soft furnishings, though some fogging products containing Hydrogen Peroxide as a sanitising agent, which can have a ph level of between 2-3 (acidic) have been known to have a detrimental effect on both soft furnishing and the general fabric of the building. However SteriZar has a ph level of between 7-8 (rain water), can therefore be used in all environments without removing furnishings, or having to seal vents to prevent a toxic formulation transgressing into other areas of the building.
Cold Fogging
The process works by filling a room with a fine mist that can vary from 5 – 50 micron particles (1 micron = 1 millionth of a metre or 1 thousandth of a millimetre. 1mm = 1 thousandth of a metre). These particles being so small, remain suspended in the air long enough to kill some of the airborne viral or bacterial contamination, but as the particles settle onto all surfaces, even the ones never touched by conventional cleaning, the biocide continues to kill any surface contamination and more importantly prevents any future cross contamination.
Within the SteriZar formulation are positive charged Ions that give the product the ability to adhere to any surface that the particles come in contact with, be it the underside of furniture, walls or ceilings.
Using the variable control nozzle on the fogging machine, complete control of particle size and output is easily applied dependant on the area and type of sanitisation required.
