Professional disinfection against the spread of the Corona Virus

The whole world is under the spell of the coronavirus, the global pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls the outbreak “the biggest enemy” because airborne contamination makes it very difficult to control its spread.

Examples of places where there is a risk of contamination are hotels, airports, tourist attractions, shopping centers and stations. Disinfection is an important tool to protect against these types of viruses.

There are currently different types of treatment to disinfect rooms. To prevent the spread of viruses, such as the corona virus or the flu.

Anticimex is committed to applying a disinfectant that works through direct contact and atomization. This method consists of spreading fine particles that first float in the air and then slowly descend on all surfaces.

This makes the room moist, allowing the disinfectant to work. In this way, the product reaches all areas, even those that are difficult to access, and eliminates the organisms.

The disinfectant used is designed to disinfect inanimate surrounding surfaces. We disinfect your site by providing a disinfection nebulization service, enabling us to disinfect large areas in short periods of time with minimal downtime for your business.

Method

The disinfection treatment consists of using a nebulizer designed to spray the disinfectant into fine micron particles. These particles float in the air until they slowly settle on all surfaces. This ensures that the surfaces become moist for a short period after the treatment. This period is when the disinfectant comes into effect and the surface needs to dry.

Safety Modern disinfectant Experience Discreet

HPC Industrial applies all necessary safety measures and only uses certified means and methods.

We use a disinfectant approved by the CTGB with virucidal * properties for an effective and fast effect.

Because HPC Industrial also performs fumigations with woodworm , we have the knowledge, materials and papers to work safely with biocides. In addition, we also carry out cleaning work for heavily soiled areas, where high demands are also made on safety.

HPC Industrial is used to working discreetly. There are also options to perform the treatments outside regular office hours.

Frequently asked questions about atomization disinfection

1. What is cleaning?

Cleaning (cleaning) is the removal of visible dirt and invisible organic material to prevent micro-organisms from maintaining, propagating and spreading.

Cleaning consists of three steps:

Pre-rinse : removing dirt by sweeping, erasing or pre-rinsing with (lukewarm) water.
Cleaning : Soak off dirt with warm water and a cleaning agent.
Remove: from dirt and detergent with clean water.

2. What is disinfection?

Destroying microorganisms left over from cleaning.

The result of the disinfection is strongly determined by a well-performed previous cleaning. When micro-organisms are still encapsulated in the product residues or dirt, the disinfectant does not work sufficiently. Disinfection can take place immediately after cleaning or before the production process.

We can distinguish two types of working methods:

Hot water or steam. The micro-organisms are killed or inactivated by the high temperature.
Chemical disinfectants. The micro-organisms are killed or inactivated by a chemical.

3. On the basis of which chemical is the surface disinfection carried out?

A disinfectant based on hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) is used. The product is authorized by the Board for the Authorization of Plant Protection Products and Biocides ( CTGB ). It is used to combat bacteria (excluding mycobacteria and bacterial spores), yeasts, fungi and viruses.

4. Does the drug have a virus claim?

Yes, the agent used has a virus claim.

5. What does a virus claim on disinfectants mean?

See the CTGB website with: Explanation virus claim for disinfectants

6. On the basis of which chemical is the space disinfection performed?

A disinfectant based on hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) is used. The product is authorized by the COLLEGE FOR THE AUTHORIZATION OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS AND BIOCIDES ( CTGB ). The agent is used to combat bacteria (excluding mycobacteria), bacterial spores and yeasts on surfaces in rooms intended for people to stay by spraying.

7. Are HPC Industrial service technicians certified to perform the space disinfection?

Yes, our Service Technicians are all in possession of a valid certificate of professional competence in accordance with Article 71 of the Plant Protection Products and Biocides Act. In order to carry out the Space disinfection in the vapor phase, our Service technicians have followed additional training for space disinfection and are certified for this.

8. Does the drug used also work against inactivating viruses?

Yes, the supplier has had the product extensively tested. European studies ^{1, 2} have shown that the drug has a virucidal effect. The product has been tested by the accredited Eurofins laboratory.

9. What is the effect of hydrogen peroxide?

The disinfectant effect of hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) is based on the release of free oxygen radicals. The contaminants are broken down by the free oxygen radicals, leaving water as a residual product. The free oxygen radicals have both an oxidizing and a disinfecting effect. Hydrogen peroxide renders membrane proteins and enzymes ineffective through oxidation.

10. Does hydrogen peroxide leave a residue?

No, no residue or gases are released when used correctly.

11. How should I prepare my location for treatment?

Ensure these important steps are followed prior to treatment to ensure that treatment can be carried out safely and that maximum effectiveness is achieved.

Remove all materials that can be damaged by moisture, such as paper and artwork
All food products must be removed from the area to be treated
All electrical equipment must be covered with plastic (keyboards and monitors)
All items that are covered or removed must be cleaned with a safe product beforehand
Provide clear access for our employees and remove any obstacles
The space is not accessible during treatment, usually up to 1 hour after treatment completion, depending on site ventilation

We recommend disseminating this information to your staff so that they understand their role and effective treatment for your business.

12. Do I have to do anything after the treatment?

The following rules should be observed for disinfection treatments:

Inform staff that if moisture remains on arrival, it should be dried with kitchen paper and then discarded. Direct contact with hands or other body parts should be avoided
Wash dishes and cutlery before use if left in an exposed place
Make sure that all new materials placed back into the room are properly cleaned
Continue to observe the hygiene and safety advice of RIVM
Anticimex can also advise to use services such as: Deep cleaning, Hygienic inspection, Structural inspection
