On average, a service takes between 3-4 hours. Job duration, pricing, and the number of SANISTAFF technicians required are based on the square footage of your facility. Our equipment and application are FDA-approved to kill COVID-19 and ensure a thorough disinfection process to keep you, your staff, and your guests safe.
We operate 24/7, and are available for overnight, weekend or any other off-hour time that works for your business.
We follow an 8-step disinfection process, which includes:
- Measure facility to confirm square footage
- Conduct protein level test to identify areas of critical need
- Ensure all surface areas and locations are prepped for maximum disinfection
- Use ULV foggers to disinfect all rooms. This includes all floors and walls up to 10ft
- Use electrostatic sprayers to disinfect all surfaces and objects
- Manually disinfect all high touch areas (light switches, door handles, etc.)
- Conduct a final wipe down of all surface areas after disinfectant is applied
- Conduct repeat protein level test to validate post-disinfection results
Most bacteria and viruses require 2-10 minutes of “dwell time” for disinfectants to work. Our application methods include the highest level of recommended dwell time, and Envirocleanse-A, our preferred cleaning agent, is EPA approved for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel Coronavirus. View link.
Because we use only non-toxic, organic cleaning agents, there’s no significant downtime post cleaning. We recommend waiting 15-20 minutes to allow surfaces to dry before resuming regular operations.
We perform adenosine trisphospate (ATP) tests before deep cleaning to identify critical areas of need, as well as post-cleaning ATP tests to validate disinfection results.
