With the rise of cleaning companies providing disinfection services during the pandemic, it is important to be aware of what a disinfectant fogging service entails and the extent to which it can help you keep your workplace more COVID secure.
Our Covid-19 Disinfectant service consists of a general clean of the property in preparation for the disinfecting fogging service. During the fogging service, we use an atomiser to mist fine sanitising disinfectant particles onto hard and soft surfaces to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. This also creates an effective residual barrier which remains on the surface (actively killing harmful bacteria and viruses) for up to 24 hours.
In this blog, we look at the top 3 myths about fogging services.
Myth 1 - Disinfectants are toxic and harmful
A disinfectant is a chemical liquid that destroys bacteria. However, not all disinfectants are the same. It is important to always check the label for any harmful chemicals and compounds which can trigger potential health issues.
At MMCS Commercial Cleaning, we use an environmentally-friendly disinfectant product which is also safe for pets. This allows us to provide a thorough clean and disinfection of the property without leaving a “bleach-like” smell lingering in the property afterwards.
Myth 2 - Cleaning and disinfecting is the same thing
Cleaning involves the removal of dirt and grime substances physically from a surface. This can help keep your property in a good condition but does not guarantee the effective removal or killing of harmful bacteria on surfaces.
Disinfecting focuses on killing germs on a surface, although this may not effectively remove other dirt and grime from a surface. However, by killing germs on the surface, it can prevent the spread of germs, bacteria and harmful viruses across a property. According to the World Health Organisation, disinfectant is inactivated by dirt and debris, therefore it is crucial to ensure that cleaning is carried out before a disinfectant is applied.
