Clean, Sanitize, Disinfect—Understanding the Difference

3 Steps to Keeping Your Surroundings Germs and COVID-19 Free

ElectroStatic Sprayers

At HydroCor, our goal is to keep environments healthy, safe, and free from all types of bacteria and germs, including COVID-19. This is precisely why we emphasize greatly on the three-step process—clean, sanitize and disinfect. We believe that these three simple steps can help keep your surroundings safe and healthy.

Step 1- Clean

Cleaning helps remove dust, dirt, crumbs, debris, and germs from objects and surfaces in your office or homes. When it comes down to it, you will likely use soap or detergent and water to clean off surfaces. Although this step can clean your surface, it doesn’t mean that the surface is 100 percent germ-free. This is why the next step is crucial.

Step 2- Sanitize

Sanitizing allows you to lower the number of germs to a safe level. However, this doesn’t mean that sanitizing kills germs. It simply lowers them. You can use our sanitizers and wipes to get the job done

Step 3- Disinfect

This procedure uses chemicals/disinfectants to immobilize and kill germs from both objects and surfaces. You can use our electrostatic disinfectant sprayer to disinfect your surroundings from harmful microscopic organisms, including COVID-19.

Our disinfection products include the following:

Sprayers and Foggers:

Electrostatic disinfectant sprayers: As our disinfection droplets exit the electrostatic sprayer, they are given a positive electrical charge. This charge repels the particles from each other, creating a fine mist, and gives them more attraction to all neutral surfaces that you are trying to disinfect. Just like magnets, they are drawn to surfaces that are negatively charged.

ULV disinfection sprayers/foggers: The ULV application process has been a well-established method in the agricultural industry for over 40 years. Fog machines were used to fumigate and as a process for insects and pests. ULV (ultra-low volume) fogging machines are used for the application of disinfectants, biocides, fungicides, and pesticides.

Sanitizers:

Disinfectants:

Certified Disinfectant Solutions & Hospital Grade Disinfectants: We supply disinfectants for both ready-to-use and just pour and use. Or we have a concentrated formula that you can dilute 1:128 or 1:116. These liquids are registered with the EPA and Health Canada or CDC, or just EPA or Health Canada or CDC. Please consult with us and we will guide you if you have any questions. Our disinfectants are registered to kill SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus) in one minute, and some have a five-minute dwell time.

Wipes

Ready-to-use disinfectant cleaner wipes based on proprietary hydrogen peroxide (AHP) technology deliver fast, effective cleaning performance. EPA, FDA, and Health Canada (DIN# 02283530) Certified Against COVID Disinfects in 60 seconds.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Accessories:

PPE: Canadian Made Quality Disposable N95 respirator mask, with “Medical Grade” thickened four-layer design filters more than 95% of particles. Light-weight collapse-resistant shell. Disposable soft-lined masks for personal protection – latex and fibreglass free.

Children’s pleated three-layer design with ear-loop and adjustable nose-piece for convenience and comfort.

We offer free department training online or can customize and suggest proper disinfection procedures to fit your needs.

So, shop for the products you need to keep your environment clean, sanitized and disinfected.

Electrostatic disinfection spraying delivers positively-charged droplets that are actively (magnetically) attracted to neutral or negatively-charged surfaces, including the back-sides, under-sides and crevices, regardless of the direction of spray for complete wrap-around disinfection coverage.

Electrostatic disinfection spraying is not a new technology. It has been around in the agricultural and manufacturing field for many years. It is recognized to be the best way to quickly apply and efficiently coat liquid disinfectants to any surface. Recently, commercial cleaning companies have begun using electrostatic sprayers as a disinfectant distribution method. With the COVID-19 virus effecting the globe, more companies are relying on electrostatic disinfection sprayer technology to ensure their workplaces are clean and sanitized, and their workforce and neighbors are protected.

Does electrostatic disinfecting kill Coronavirus?

Yes! Our disinfectant solutions kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria and viruses in less than one minute. They are effective on a broad range of pathogens, including: SARS-Cov-2, MERS-CoV, H1N1, H3N2, MRSA, E. coli, Eschirichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Norovirus, cold/flu viruses, and more.

Our disinfectants are organic and safe to use. Bystanders can enter the room immediately after the product has been applied, with zero re-entry time. They are ideal for use in homes, offices, clinics, hotels, public transportation, and more.

Our disinfection products provide ongoing effective protection for all private and public areas such as schools, cafeterias, sports and gym facilities, medical/dental/spa clinics, long-term care and retirement homes, retail stores, showrooms, theaters, bars and restaurants, offices, factories, food processing facilities, and more.

Clean, Sanitize, Disinfect

What is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting?

Cleaning is the removal of debris such as organic and inorganic material (often called “soil”) from objects and surfaces.

Electrostatic

How does electrostatic disinfection work?

When our disinfection droplets exit the electrostatic sprayer, they are given a positive electrical charge.

ULV Sprayers/Foggers

What is a ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fogging machine?

ULV fogging equipment is used for the application of disinfectants, biocides, fungicides, and pesticides.

What is the best disinfectant for me to use?

The best way to choose a disinfectant is to first evaluate what you are disinfecting. We offer free advise. All you need to do is contact us, we would be happy to help.

What is the difference between misting, fogging, spray/wipe, and electrostatic disinfecting?

ULV disinfectant sprayers/foggers come in different shapes and sizes, and each type is best for specific application environments. Please consult with us about which size and shape will work best for you. All of our ULV disinfectant sprayers/foggers are handheld. The smaller ones are better for smaller areas, such as restaurant tables, cars, buses, office cubicles etc. While the larger machines are more suited for areas like hockey rinks, offices, fire departments, police department, gyms, etc.

Sprayers, misters, and fogging machines deliver very small droplets in a micro-mist form that passively deposits on surfaces based on the direction of spray and the effect of gravity, which may on occasion result in uneven coverage.

Spray/wipe methods are also time consuming, labour-intensive and provide the least consistent coverage. They can also be a source of cross-contamination!
