Surface disinfection

Surface disinfection units provide a method of quickly sanitising against viruses and bacteria by spraying or fogging areas, people and equipment with disinfectant. Surface disinfection units such as spray guns are ideal for large spaces or outdoor areas including hotels, hospitals, vehicles, bakeries, farms, prisons, restaurants and more.

Why choose surface disinfection units?

While the terms ‘sanitation’ and ‘disinfection’ are often used interchangeably, both terms hold different meanings that are important to know when keeping interiors safe and healthy.

Instead of outright neutralising undesirable contaminants, sanitation products work to reduce the risk of infection by keeping bacteria within safe levels on a surface.

While less capable, sanitisers are often better suited to the food industry, as these cleaning agents do not typically contain harsh or toxic chemicals.

On the other hand, disinfection utilises the power of strong chemical agents to eradicate viruses and bacteria on surfaces to contain and halt the spread of illnesses.

While this approach is more capable and powerful in eliminating harmful contaminants, these heavy-duty chemical disinfectants must be carefully applied to avoid affecting foodstuffs or risking the health of people, animals and more in these locations.

Neutralising the presence of microorganisms and pathogens on surfaces, especially throughout an entire hospital, office, hotel or commercial facility, can be a time-consuming process.

All it takes is one person to infect a surface to turn it into a breeding ground for bacteria. In spaces with lots of people, the speed at which surfaces become contaminated, and the concentration of these germs, is much greater.

Furthermore, different materials are more conducive to microorganisms than others. While porous surfaces like wood and fabric make it much harder for germs to transfer from objects to people, steel and plastic are more hospitable to viruses, allowing them to survive for longer.

To hasten the disinfection process and help maintain a healthy environment with greater ease, purpose-built surface disinfection units are crucial tools. By creating a fine floating mist of cleaning and disinfection fluid, these particles penetrate polluted surfaces and decontaminate hard-to-reach areas quickly and easily.

While surface disinfection regulations differ between industries and countries, it is good practice for areas to be decontaminated at least once a day. In spaces with lots of foot traffic and food industries where raw meat is prepared, these surfaces should be decontaminated much more regularly.
