You Can Attack Mold and Germs With the Same Technology Hospitals Use

Flu season is over (for now), but germs don't take breaks.

Neither does mold or mildew.

But one Billings company has the specialized technology that is popular with hospitals and medical facilities. BYO-Safe Environment's electrostatic wrap-around spray system zaps germs, mold and mildew in homes, offices, gyms and daycares. The electrostatic process is quicker, covers better and lasts longer than other cleaning methods, such as wiping surfaces down with bleach products.

Here's how electrostatic spray works: The spray nozzle charges the solution with a positive charge as it is sprayed toward a neutral or negatively charged surface, as infectioncontrol.tips explains. As the solution wraps around the surface, the positively-charged particles tend to be attracted to the neutral or negatively-charged surfaces and distribute themselves over them evenly.

"The disinfectant is more targeted, provides more consistent coverage with less waste, and like two magnets, is attracted to the oppositely charged surface with remarkable force," infectioncontrol.tips states.

The technology has been used in automotive applications (think how evenly paint is spread on a car's curved surfaces) but it also means that solvents attacking mold, mildew and dangerous germs reach small crevices and sensitive equipment often untouched by traditional methods.

What it means for you: Think about having your home, office, all the surfaces at your child's daycare or the showers at your gym truly, completely disinfected. Have you asked your gym manager or daycare provider how their processes compare with BYO-Safe Environment's electrostatic spray?

When it comes to mold and mildew mitigation, BYO-Safe Environment's solution works (and is safe on) carpet, wood and drywall— and it's biodegradable. "Keep in mind that using bleach just discolors mold," according to BYO-Safe Environment's website. "It does not kill mold at the root. We offer advanced mold, mildew and fungus mitigation services."
