It is a known fact that the virus is not going to eliminate very easily with the pandemic spreading at higher rates every passing day. The current scenario demands a specific cleaning protocol to completely eradicate it. Especially in a school setting where we have to be extremely careful as with most students having low immune, the chances of getting caught is even higher

One of the cleaning mechanisms that are being used currently is Electrostatic Misters which are proven to be highly effective in killing the virus. The electrostatic spray enables to spray of electrostatically discharged mist onto the surface or other objects. It contains highly charged particles that can adhere to surfaces and disinfect the entire germ present there.

The nature of the mist is that it allows coating surfaces evenly on objects and once the spray is applied the sanitizing agent helps to disinfect the covered areas. This is why electrostatic spray is considered a great germ free solution for all surfaces.

These products are made by different manufacturers which kills the pathogens as soon as it is applied on the surface. Even though these are not new technologies but with COVID, the need for them has increased rampantly. Earlier this device was only used in airline facilities but now educational facilities have started using it in some parts of the countries.

One of the school districts in Texas has tried these devices and the results were unbelievable. According to the authorities, the electrostatic misters are the state -of- the- art technology which is undoubtedly the need of everyone right now. When it is sprayed it disinfects a much wider area rather than the specified space itself. For example, when cleaning with a cloth only the specific areas that are touched are being disinfected. However, with misters, surrounding areas are also being cleaned effectively

To ensure the procedure’s effectiveness the school performed Adenosine Triphosphate Monitoring Tests (ATP). The ATP systems are to monitor whether the cells released from the product are able to vanish the pathogens from the surface.

It is believed that misters are very safe to use as long as they are used properly. Each manufacturer of misters will provide specific instructions on how to use the equipment.

One thing that officials should be wary about is that the area being disinfected using misters should be cleared of people to avoid inhaling these chemicals. It also allows the mist to set on surfaces without any type of intrusion enabling it to work effectively.

We all know that it is an unprecedented situation and the cleaning industry will never be the same again. The manufacturers are stepping up their game to develop new practices which are designed to protect human health
