Spraying down an area in order to clean and sanitize it can be, at the very least, a huge pain. There’s often no alternative, though – especially if you want to keep your facility as clean and sanitized as possible. This requires a lot of work on your part – mixing up potentially toxic cleaning solutions, taking your time spraying down entire rooms with a slow handheld sprayer (sometimes with a respirator mask to keep the fumes at bay!), and then waiting forever for the sprayed-down room to dry so it can be used once more. It’s really not that great a system, but for years that’s what animal care professionals have had to deal with.
Well, not anymore. Thankfully, there’s a better way out there – using an electrostatic sprayer instead. These systems, such as the Protexus electrostatic sprayer, use the power of static electricity to charge the particles of the cleaning solution that leave its nozzle. You won’t believe how much better using an electrostatic sprayer can be when you compare it to older methods – it’s truly a revolution in the world of disinfectant sprays to be sure. Here’s what you need to know.
Easier Operation
Operating an electrostatic sprayer is, by and large, so much quicker and easier than other sprayers. That’s because they tend to be lightweight and ergonomic. The Protexus only weighs 4.5 pounds, for example, and that’s when full! It also offers daily, uninterrupted disinfecting thanks to its cordless battery, providing 4 hours of run time from just a one-hour charge. Finally, it offers a whole 800 sq. ft. of coverage per tank in just five minutes.
Better Application of Spray
Thanks to how these sprayers provide an electrostatic charge to the cleaning solution before leaving the nozzle, spray application of disinfectant is much more efficient. Smaller droplets provide better dispersal, offering 3 times the coverage of traditional sprayers. Those electrostatically charged droplets attack microbes quickly and deeply, providing 360 degrees full coverage at 15 times the force of gravity.
Safer to Use
Electrostatic sprayers offer much higher levels of safety than traditional disinfectant sprays. Designed for heavy use in animal care facilities such as veterinary offices, animal hospitals, kennels, and animal shelters, these sprayers use cleaning solutions based on safe, non-toxic formulas that clean, disinfect, and sterilize without the use of harsh chemicals. Electrostatic sprayers are also fast drying, minimizing the disruptions to staff, animal patients, and their owners when it comes to keeping work environments safe.
Better for the Environment
In addition to electrostatic sprayers being more efficient, more powerful, and safe to use around humans and animals, they’re also better for the environment. The same specially formulated cleansing solutions used by electrostatic sprayers are bio-degradable and completely earth-friendly, so you can rest assured that any solution that ends up absorbed into your living area will not have a negative impact on that environment. This is one veterinary hygiene product that ticks all the boxes for sure.
