What is Professional Viral Disinfection?
Professional viral disinfection uses hospital-grade EN14476-certified biocidal solution — the European standard for proven efficacy against bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores — applied via ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogging or electrostatic sprayer. This is not a standard cleaning process. It eliminates 99.9999% of pathogens on all surfaces, including areas that a manual wipe-down cannot reach: inside air conditioning vents, behind units, under equipment and in ceiling void areas.
The Two Application Methods
ULV Fogging
An Ultra Low Volume fogger generates a fine mist of 5–50 micron droplets that remain suspended in the air for 10–15 minutes, settling on all surfaces and penetrating into all crevices and voids. Ideal for large spaces — offices, warehouses, commercial kitchens and schools.
Electrostatic Spraying
Electrostatic sprayers charge the biocidal droplets so they actively wrap around surfaces, providing 360-degree coverage on all sides of objects including underside surfaces. Used for targeted treatments in medical facilities, food preparation areas and public transport.
When Do You Need Professional Disinfection?
After a rodent infestation — rats and mice leave behind urine, droppings and fur carrying Leptospirosis, Salmonella and Hantavirus
After any pest infestation — cockroaches spread 33 types of bacteria on every surface they contact
Following a confirmed case of COVID-19, Norovirus or other infectious illness in a commercial premises
Before reopening a premises after a closure period
As a routine scheduled programme for food businesses, schools and medical facilities
After flood or sewage damage
