Cleaning is good but is it enough? Since the start of the Pandemic, cleaning has become a two-step process for many.

First, there is regular cleaning to remove visible soiling (Step One). Secondly, a deeper cleaning service takes place – spraying with Sanitizers and Disinfectants (Step Two). This second step can help prevent the spread of germs. So while regular cleaning helps physically remove those germs, spraying disinfectant with specialized equipment kills stubborn germs because of their chemical compounds.

According to the Canadian Institute of Food Safety – CIFS, cleaning removes the visible signs of dirt, while sanitizing reduces the microorganisms to an acceptable level.

In a blog article on Cleaning and Sanitization to prevent COVID-19, the CIFS stated, “SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can live on surfaces for up to nine days." How certain that is isn’t clear. The CDC suggests that infected persons may contaminate surfaces they touch in certain situations. Nevertheless, what is not in dispute is the high degree to which this virus is infectious, based on the number of complete shutdowns across counties and provinces in numerous countries worldwide.

In this last pandemic, any steps to mitigate the spread of the virus were seen as a necessity by both business owners and homeowners alike. Now, while we will not make the bold claim that any disinfectant kills COVID-19, we can assert that we always take proactive steps to use sanitization products and equipment recommended at the government level during a Coronavirus outbreak.

♦ What is ULV Fogging?

ULV (Ultra-Low-Volume) Foggers use High-Volume Air Technology to produce low-volume, minuscule pressured droplets that form a fog. The droplet size ranges from about 5 to 50 Microns in diameter. Fogging is good for disinfecting open areas and has also been extensively used in Carpet Cleaning and Duct Cleaning for many years.

♦ What is Electrostatic Disinfectant Spraying?

Electrostatic Disinfection is the process whereby Disinfectant Liquid is electrically charged using Electrostatic Spraying Equipment. The technology positively charges the sanitizing chemicals to provide a magnetic coating to the surfaces it comes in contact with. It is far more thorough than any manual spray-and-wipe process. As most surfaces are either neutral or negatively charged, they are attracted to the positively charged mist. Electrostatic Disinfection is especially prudent for difficult-to-reach objects and surfaces as they provide comprehensively even coverage.

One of the key ingredients in Vital Oxide is a stabilized and compound form of Chlorine Dioxide (CLO2). However, it is not bleach, and it is far gentler than other disinfectant products that contain bleach. In fact, Chlorine Dioxide has been used as a water purifier.

An Industrial Grade Hospital Disinfectant used for Sanitizing Residential and Commercial properties; it removes Mould and Fungi and Deodorizes.

It Kills 99.99% of germs, including bacteria and some viruses.

According to vitaloxide.com, its disinfectant has been “proven effective in killing” a range of viruses and bacteria, including but not limited to Salmonella, Swine Influenza (H1N1) Virus, Influenza and Hepatitis. It has been effective with many other infectious diseases as well. There is a complete list on the site vitaloxide.com. Vital Oxide is suitable for disinfecting Commercial Properties, Homes, Offices, Classrooms, Day Cares, Veterinarians, and Restaurants.

Vital Oxide is not only Government approved; it is very versatile. It can be used as a Carpet sanitizer and deodorizer and on Upholstery and Fabrics and other soft surfaces. In addition, it is an Antimicrobial Product used in Ductwork and HVAC Systems.

It is especially effective as an odour remover for pet urine and other pet odour issues. Used as a disinfectant in hospitals, it is excellent for killing Mildew. It Eliminates Allergens and is Suitable as a Food Contact Sanitizer. Vital Oxide contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). It is Non-Corrosive and Environmentally Friendly.

Not even Health Canada will claim that a specific disinfectant destroys COVID-19. The closest they will come to making such a claim is to suggest certain disinfectants are ‘likely to be effective’ because evidence has been submitted to them that demonstrated effectiveness against stubborn viruses similar to the SARS-CoV-2. Despite several website assertions to the contrary, Health Canada does not endorse specific disinfectants. However, it does provide a list of disinfectants it deems appropriate. That list is referred to as Hard-surface disinfectants and hand sanitizers (COVID-19). All products on the list will have a Canadian DIN (Drug Identification Number).

Vital Oxide is on that list.

In addition, Health Canada came up with a list of Disinfectants and Hand Sanitizers accepted under a COVID-19 interim measure. Some products will have a Canadian DIN#, and some will not. However, many are likely to have an EPA number (a number given by the United States Environmental Protection Agency). For example, Benefect Botanical Decon 30 has both a DIN and an EPA number, whereas Mediclean Germicidal Cleaner Concentrate (Lemon) only has an EPA Number.

We believe that the Victory Electrostatic Sprayers offer value for money yet provide a solution that can thoroughly disinfect businesses and homes with little to no fuss.

Victory Innovations® sells two different sprayers:

• The VP300ES Professional Cordless Electrostatic Backpack Sprayer provides coverage of up to 23000 square feet and…
• The VP200ES Professional Cordless Electrostatic Handheld Sprayer will provide a disinfectant coating up to 2800 square feet per tank. Both are ample for our current needs and have the advantage of being cordless.

While business owners and homeowners may feel the need for sanitization services, we know they do not want it to be a massive expense or disruption to their day or week. Therefore, our ability to do a high-quality electrostatic disinfectant spraying in the least amount of time with minimal upset to our customers’ lives is paramount.

We want to say we did “A Dang Good Sanitization!" And the Victory Sprayers seem to be able to help us keep our word by giving complete, effective, even coverage.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has inevitably created costs on PPE and Electrostatic Disinfection Services that were not needed before COVID-19, yet both are likely to be required for some time to come.

After researching several different sprayers, we concluded that these were two of the more superior products on the market we had seen in terms of Electrostatic Spraying Technology.

Any Business or Residence that is looking for an extra layer of protection against infection can benefit from our Sanitization Service.

It is of significant benefit for rooms and spaces that may have been contaminated by infected persons. 

It is also a proactive mitigation step for high traffic areas and is the best way to decontaminate areas which are not so easily accessible for regular cleaning.
