What We Do
At Sanitise.ie we provided contactless decontamination and disinfecting services to assist in the prevention and eradication of airborne and surface pathogens, along with biohazard and trauma cleaning.
Our two main methods of sanitising are electrostatic spraying and fogging. |
Chemical FoggingChemical fogging produces a fine mist that remains suspended in the air long enough to kill airborne viruses and bacteria. It also eliminates pathogens on surfaces, including ceilings, walls, furniture and floors.
It can disinfectant nooks and crannies and areas that may be difficult to clean otherwise. In most cases it’s not necessary to move furniture before or during the cleaning process |
Electrostatic DisinfectingBy positively charging droplets of liquid they naturally seek out surfaces to adhere to. The positive charge makes the droplet electrically stronger than the surface or the item you are treating. Just like magnets, they are drawn to each other and attach when one surface is more positively charged than the other. In simple terms when you spray a solution that is charged with electrostatics, the solution will surround the object.

How It Works
As part of day-to-day life we have all become accustom to the traditional method of cleaning, with a cloth and a disinfectant solution. This method generally removes dirt and grime visible to the naked eye, the bacteria and/or viral microorganism that may be left behind can be quite hazardous to our wellbeing. This method can result in cross contamination between surfaces.
The lifespan of bacteria and/or viral microorganisms depends on type and surface. A virus requires living cells or tissue to grow, a virus can use components of human cells to grow and multiple.
A virus can spread through airborne transmission and fomite transmission. Fomite transmission occurs when an infected person contaminates a surface by touch (were the virus is present on the hands) or secretes saliva or mucus on that surface. A recent study on Covid-19, by the National Institutes of Health (USA) found that the virus is detectable for up to three hours in the aerosols (liquid droplets in air), 24 hours on cardboard and up to three days on plastic and stainless steel.
Another study by the American Society for Microbiology, showed after a surface was cleaned with a cloth and a chlorine solution, residual bacteria was present after three minutes of drying time. Cloths, mops and sponges used for daily cleaning should be clean and dry prior to use. Damp cloths, mops and sponges are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria.

FAQ's
What Is Electrostatic Disinfection?
Electrostatic spray surface cleaning is the process of spraying an electrostatically charged mist onto surfaces and objects. Electrostatic spray uses a specialised solution that is combined with air and atomised by an electrode inside the sprayer. Subsequently, the spray contains positively charged particles that are able to aggressively adhere to surfaces and objects. Because the particles in the spray are positively charged, they cling to and coat any surface they’re aimed at
For awkwardly shaped objects or hard to reach places, cleaning staff only have to point and spray; the nature of the mist allows it to coat surfaces evenly, and envelope objects—even if the mist is only sprayed from one side. After the spray is applied, the sanitising agent works to disinfect the covered surfaces. For this reason, electrostatic spray is an excellent solution for germ and contaminant ridden areas.

How Does Electrostatic Disinfection Work?
Electrostatic spray is electrically charged, allowing the appropriate sanitisers, mould preventatives and disinfectants to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces for a more complete clean. As the chemical exits the electrostatic sprayer, it’s given a positive electrical charge. The droplets then become attracted to all negative surfaces, covering the visible area, underside and backside, with the sanitising agent. Surfaces that are already covered will repel the spray, making the method extremely efficient.
The main features and benefits of electrostatic spray disinfection include:
Reduces the time it takes to cover and disinfect all surfaces and hard-to-reach places by 50% compared to conventional methods
Improves infection control and the spread of viruses such as coronavirus, influenza, MRSA, HIV and many others
Applies chemicals in a more efficient, controlled manner, eliminating the dangers of overuse
Prevents costly financial burdens associated with contagious healthcare infections
For desktops, floors and walls that need to be absolutely spotless, electrostatic spray cleaning is the best option. The same goes for equipment and hard to reach places; if a piece of equipment is heavily trafficked, electrostatic spray cleaning in the most comprehensive way to remove germs and dirt.

What is fogging disinfecting?
Fogging disinfecting is similar to the touchless application technique of electrostatic disinfecting but is different in two ways. Fogging disinfecting utilises nearly the same technology without charging the cleaning molecules when they leave the machine. Additionally, fogging cleaning uses larger particle sizes compared to an electrostatic service with an average particle size of 20 to 50 microns. In many instances, a fogging application can be used in the same situations and settings as an electrostatic service.
