FAQ – Disinfection Services (TEST)

How much does it cost?
We can estimate cost based on square footage to be treated. The density of high-touch surfaces and objects impacts how long it takes to properly disinfect a workspace. Our minimum per treatment is $350 and can typically cover 4,500 sq ft. Pricing breaks are offered as treatment square footage increases.
Do we have to pre-clean prior to disinfection treatments?
YES. To ensure maximum efficacy, general janitorial cleaning should be conducted prior to treatment. This includes wiping down all surfaces to remove remove visible soils and organic surface matter..
Should we clean after treatment?
The disinfectant can leave a visible residue on darker objects. It is harmless and easily removed.
Does spraying leave residue or bubble marks?
At a 4306 ppm concentration (4 minute C.diff claim), it may leave some residue, which would need to wiped with water once dry. With all other concentrations, residue will not be left on plastic or stainless steel. Over saturation or hard water deposits may also cause streaking.
What is in the Disinfectant Chemical?
We utilize PURTABS formulated for our disinfection sprayers. The chemistry is based around NaDCC, an organic chlorine donor which releases Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) and Monosodiumcyanurate (NaOCl) when dissolved in water.
How long after treatment can we get back to work?
The disinfectant reaches its full kill claim potential after 10 minutes of dwell time. After application, it must sit on the surface for 10 minutes undisturbed. We spray at a very fine rate (80-100 microns) and find that most surfaces are dry after 15 minutes.
Is there a smell after treatment?
Yes. There will be a slight chlorine smell that dissipates quickly after application leaving what most end users describe as a “clean” or “sterile” smell.
Will the spray stain fabrics?
Unlike bleach, PURTABS does not discolor fabrics. PURTABS should not be used on non-colorfast fabrics, wool or silk fabrics, or any fabric with a special finish. If applying around fabrics, test on an inconspicuous area prior to use.
Is it safe to use around electronics, computers, printers and phones?
YES. We can safely apply around standard office equipment due to the very fine mist (60-100 microns) and take additional precautions on sensitive electronic devices.
