Electrostatic disinfection isn’t a “magic fog.” It’s a method that improves coverage on surfaces—especially in shared spaces where touchpoints are constant.

It works best when used strategically alongside regular cleaning.

What Electrostatic Disinfection Actually Does

Electrostatic sprayers help apply disinfectant more evenly across surfaces, including angles and edges that are easy to miss.

It’s especially useful for:

  • High-touch environments

  • Shared equipment and rooms

  • Offices with frequent visitors

  • Post-illness or seasonal prevention

Where It’s Most Valuable in Offices

These are the areas that matter most:

  • Door handles, push bars, elevator buttons

  • Restrooms (touchpoints + sinks)

  • Breakrooms and shared appliances

  • Conference rooms and shared desks

  • Reception counters and lobby seating areas

When It’s Worth Scheduling

Electrostatic disinfection is a smart add-on when:

  • You’ve had a wave of sickness in the office

  • You’re preparing for an event or high traffic week

  • You want a higher standard for shared spaces

  • You’re managing multiple properties or tenants

When It’s NOT the Right Solution

Don’t use it as a substitute for cleaning.

It’s not ideal if:

  • The space is cluttered and dirty (clean first)

  • You expect it to remove buildup or stains

  • You need heavy-duty deep cleaning instead

What This Means for Business Owners

The best approach is layered:

  1. Clean (remove dust, grime, residue)

  2. Disinfect (target high-touch zones)

  3. Maintain (keep it consistent)
