If you've ever had professional restoration or cleaning work done in your home or business, you may have noticed crews showing up with some pretty interesting-looking equipment.
From industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to air scrubbers and moisture meters, there's no shortage of specialized equipment that looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
And speaking of interesting-looking, sci-fi-style equipment, take a look at what our technician is holding in this photo. Doesn't that look like something straight out of Ghostbusters? 👻
If you're wondering what it does, it's a professional electrostatic sprayer designed to apply compatible disinfectants and other treatment solutions to surfaces.
How does it work?
The sprayer gives liquid droplets an electrical charge, which can help them adhere to surfaces and improve coverage around objects and other areas that may be difficult to treat with conventional spraying methods.
Where can it be used?
👉 Homes: Applying suitable disinfectants and other approved surface treatments when appropriate.
👉 Businesses: Surface treatment applications in offices, retail spaces, and other commercial facilities.
👉 Restoration: Applying appropriately labeled antimicrobial products to suitable surfaces as part of certain remediation procedures, including some mold-related projects.
One example of how Superior Contract Cleaning has used this technology was during the COVID-19 pandemic, when our technicians performed disinfection services at Home Depot and Lowe's locations.
Following disinfectant wipe-downs, electrostatic spraying was used as a final treatment application.
So, if you ever see one of our technicians carrying something that looks like a Ghostbusters gadget, you'll know they're not hunting Slimer! 👻
And speaking of ghosts... Halloween is just two days away!
🎃 Have a spooktacular Halloween, Lafayette! 👻
