Electrostatic disinfection technology is the future of cleaning--able to disinfect complex three-dimensional surfaces in a  fraction of the time required by conventional cleaning methods--resulting in decreased costs, illnesses, and absences.

The Rise of Electrostatic Disinfection Technology
Electrostatic surface spraying has been in use in the United States for more than 50 years in the farming and industrial arenas--providing complete surface coverage for crops and painted or coated materials.

Surface cross-contamination is the single most significant cleaning challenge facing custodial teams and facilities managers in any building.

What is Surface Cross-Contamination & Why Does it Matter?
