Why COV-RID High Level Disinfectant Thermal Fogging Solution Makes Every Sense

According to the UK government, if you’re to limit the transmission of viruses and microbes such as Covid-19 efficient, regular cleaning is a must. The government has also indicated that surfaces people come into contact with or frequently touch need to be cleaned, disinfected and wiped down at least twice every day, with one of the two being either at the end of the day or at the beginning.

CDC also observes that SARS-CoV-2 (including Covid-19) can remain on surfaces for days or hours and disinfecting after cleaning is one of the best practices for the prevention of not only the Coronavirus, but also diverse viral respiratory diseases in the community, commercial or household settings. The CDC actually recommends routine cleaning and sterilising areas frequently touched including electronics, doorknobs, faucets, tables, toilets, light switches, sinks, desks, among hundreds of others.

What this means is that an effective disinfectant is very vital for disinfecting virtually anywhere, particularly areas with heavy human traffic and frequently touched as people go about their duties. Even more critical is the method of disinfecting due to the delicate nature of such items as electronics, electric appliances and extensions, among others.

As such, these are some of the reasons COV-RID high level disinfectant thermal fogging solution comes highly recommended.

Why thermal fogging?

Thermal fogging is one of the most recommended ways of disinfecting the environment for diverse reasons. Compared to cold fogging or atomising spray, thermal fogging involves heating the disinfectant creating a fog capable of spreading virtually anywhere and covering an exposed area completely.

In atomising sprays, the disinfectant in liquid form is atomised into a spray and only lands on a given pointed area and need to be wiped down to remove a wet residue left behind, which is actually dangerous to use on electronics and electrical appliances.

Thermal fogging hardly leaves any damp residue behind. It disinfects microbes on the area before completely dissipating; you won’t even see anything or traces of the fogging exercise. As a result, COV-RID high level disinfectant thermal fogging solution is perfectly safe and recommended for use anywhere, including on electronics and electrical goods.

Effective against diverse microbes not just Covid-19

After having been heavily tested, COV-RID has been proven to deal effectively with Covid-19 and diverse viruses and microbes. Thermal fogging with the disinfectant rids all your surfaces not just a virus that continues to ravage the globe, but also other equally dangerous and devastating microbes such as HIV, Measles Virus, Rubella Virus, Hepatitis B virus, Flavivirus, Hepatitis Delta Virus, Poxviridae, Herpesviridae, Rabies virus, Human T Cell Leukemia virus, Influenza virus, Filoviridae that causes Ebola etc., Paramyxoviridae and many others.

Such microbes as Norovirus remain prevalent in institutions, cruises and places of learning. COV-RID thermal fogging remains a scientifically proven solution however.

Whether it’s a car or building, the high level disinfectant thermal fogging solution protects people from diverse viruses and bacteria they might not even have heard of.

Effective, fast, safe and efficient

The best and scientifically accepted way of ensuring a product is effective, safe and efficient is comprehensively testing it. COV-RID has gone through rigorous tests to meet all standards of safety and effectiveness against all manner of viruses. This includes BS EN 14476 tests, where it was found efficient for use against SARS-CoV-2, bacteria and diverse other viruses out there.

The high level disinfectant has thus been approved for cleaning and decontaminating vehicles, offices, commercial spaces, homes and virtually anywhere. It works fast and completely safe after application.

Tamper evident label

Thermal fogging is so effective that after fogging you won’t find any dampness or evidence of the exercise. It’s perfect on electrical appliances, electronics and other delicate extensions apart from all types of surfaces people touch the most. Fundamentally, the challenge has always been how to know whether a room, car or surface has been decontaminated with COV-RID.

To help with this, COV-RID came up with tamper evident labels that secure disinfected places after fogging allowing people to know whether and when a particular spot was disinfected. With the evident seal in place after fogging, a person will know a car or doorway hasn’t been touched since disinfecting was done.

COV-RID high level disinfectant thermal fogging solution isn’t just great at decontaminating Coronaviruses (including Covid-19), but also disinfects diverse bacteria, viruses and microbes.

Whether Covid-19 and other viruses mutate into more sinister microbes or not, COV-RID remains an effective, safe and fast disinfecting solution.

How to Avoid Indirect Infection Transmission through Pre and Post Thermal Fogging Testing

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 22:52:34 GMT

How to Avoid Indirect Infection Transmission through Pre and Post Thermal Fogging Testing

According to research , microorganisms survive on diverse surfaces and contribute to indirect infection transmission, especially surfaces mostly touched throughout the day or at high frequencies. As microbes increase on surfaces without proper disinfecting and cleaning , 10 million people will potentially die annually; including over 700,000 deaths every year from drug-resistant complications as dirty surfaces make available medicines for harmful bacteria ineffective.

At a time when Covid-19 pandemic has killed over 1.3 million people already in less than 11 months, it’s a great health practice to provide a disinfected, safe and clean environment. However, you don’t have to stop at telling people you’re already applying health protocols to keep off microbes and offer disinfected, microorganism-free surfaces.

Proven testing

What if you could clearly guarantee that all the surfaces in your building where people pass through are uncontaminated and germ-free? You can actually assure virtually everyone that the environment cannot indirectly transmit infection through pre and post thermal fogging testing .

COV-RID high level disinfectant actually offers that reassurance through a unique dry or thermal fogging technology where top quality and top-drawer disinfectant is dispersed across a given area fast with little to no disruption.

After disinfecting an area you don’t stop there. Pre and post thermal fogging testing is done to assure everyone around that the area isn’t just sparkling but also decontaminated and well cleaned.

Showcases your germ-free and cleanliness credentials

Whether it’s a hotel, high institution of learning, eatery, bus, commercial building, nursing home, airport hangar to healthcare centres you can now reassure your customers and clients that your facilities and surfaces are disinfected and thoroughly cleaned.

Scientifically proven testing is carried out first before the place is fogged with COV-RID high level disinfectant and after the cleaning and disinfecting has been done. This special safe method offers evidence to anyone around that your institutions and facilities are microbe-free in line with all the measures in place of ensuring such environments are Covid-19 free and safe for the public to utilize.

Scientifically proven tests

It’s not always possible to hear of a disinfecting service that carries out a scientifically proven test to show how clean and germ-free a facility is. The fast tests are carried out using contact plates that can give readings in a matter of seconds.

Once the contact plates have been collected they’re taken to a BSEN-approved lab for further tests and rigorous tests done in the highest possible standards. The plates are used to collect microorganisms from surfaces around a facility to help you see what you’re dealing with when your business premises or building goes without proper, reliable disinfecting and cleaning.

How thermal fogging testing efficacy is established

The contact plates from all sections of a building or premises are collected before COV-RID high level disinfectant thermal fogging is used. The process is really fast; the plates are used on any kind of surface out there and collect the microorganisms such as bacteria found on a given surface.

Once readings in a given space are done through contact plates, the thermal fogging cleaning and disinfecting is carried out. The room is left alone for a while to allow the fog to do its job and dissipate thereafter. Thermal fogging is efficient as it ensures all surfaces exposed are full of the disinfectant, including places you probably wouldn’t reach if you used another method.

After fogging and cleaning has been done contact plates are used again across the room, collecting readings of any microorganisms found. With the readings you’re able to see the efficacy of thermal fogging in dealing with fungus, bacteria and other germs compared with the earlier taken readings prior to fogging.

Note that the contact plates are taken to an approved laboratory for testing and analysis. After 72 hour incubation a clear picture of germs before and after thermal fogging is given. An official report of the analysis is presented to you like all other clients showing the results of the testing, which you can use as you deem fit.

In the age of covid-19 and a raging pandemic cleanliness has become a critical factor in the choice of anything from a hotel accommodation, conference room, building, vehicle for hire among others. A pre and post thermal fogging testing will make a huge difference in reassuring your customers and helping them choose your facilities over your rivals’. Even better, as the owner of the establishment or vehicle you’re sure your customers are safe from all microbes, including the coronavirus.

How Antimicrobial Foaming Hand Sanitizer Addresses Problems with Standard Hand Disinfection

How Antimicrobial Foaming Hand Sanitizer Addresses Problems with Standard Hand Disinfection

When Covid-19 became a global menace at the beginning of 2020, hand sanitizer purchases went up significantly. Currently, hand sanitizers revenue has grown to over $5,343 million in 2020 from a mere $1,275 million in 2012 with an expected annual growth of 6.2 per cent up to 2025.

Before Coronavirus made hand sanitization a critical part of human life and public health today, frequent use of hand sanitizers was found in 2010 to lessen the huge loss of work days, university and school days annually due to sickness while boosting productivity at work, reducing absenteeism and related economic impact while protecting people from infectious gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases.

In essence, hand disinfection was found to reduce illness episodes and boost recuperation from complications-an effective and cost efficient daily hygiene exercise with great results.

Part of our pandemic days

While lockdowns, limit of mobility and curfews have changed the way we live as governments try to deal with the raging Covid-19 pandemic, our lives still demand diverse resources as was the case before December 2019. From children to adults, people have to go to work, school and other diverse places as duty demands.

As we do all these in a pandemic we come into contact with dirty and vermin-saturated surfaces all day. Hand sanitizers have thus become a critical part of hand hygiene as we try to decontaminate our hands from Covid-19 and to an extent, lots of other microbes.

If you haven’t contemplated use of COV-RID’s antimicrobial foaming hand sanitizer, you probably should. Throughout, people have had lots of problems with standard hand sanitizers, mostly alcohol based. Like many out there, chances are the typical hand sanitizer in your possession:

Inflames, irritates or dries your skin: Due to heavy alcohol content, most sanitizers are leaving the skin dry, flared up and irritated with dermatitis and eczema among other skin conditions.

Results in a burning olfactory: With every use most hand sanitizers have a strong smell and burning sensation.

Leads to heavy chemical exposure: If there’s something we all know it’s that exposure to too many chemicals distresses our health. Sanitizers could have 15-20 chemicals at any given moment harmful to the skin. Expert advice recommends natural ingredients to protect ourselves and avoid too many chemicals.

Tested, safe hand hygiene

With the desire to have as many hand sanitizers in public use as possible so many of them haven’t been tested. Chances are most are using untested, unsafe hand sanitizers harmful to their skin and overall health.

However, a unique foaming hand sanitiser such as COV-RID’s does a stellar job of removing and destroying viruses, bacteria and germs from hands even without heavy alcoholic content and chemicals.

Actually COV-RID high level disinfectant sanitiser is a culmination of comprehensive tests and analysis to guarantee effectiveness against diverse viruses and microbes out there.

Quality natural ingredients

If there’s something that keeps hands soft, safe, virus-free and soft it has to be quality natural ingredients in a unique sanitiser such as COV-RID antimicrobial foam hand sanitiser. The natural properties leave the skin smooth, supple and safe. It doesn’t have chlorine, alcohol or other additives with terrible odours.

Why alcohol isn’t always the best active ingredient

Most of the hand disinfectants out there are alcohol based. Alcohol being the most active ingredient in the mix has raised a number of concerns among users such as:

Evaporates before doing a thorough job: Since alcohol evaporates quite fast it disappears before it has completely destroyed the microbes on the skin, including common hand and skin viruses such as Norovirus. However, a natural ingredient hand sanitiser such as COV-RID’s easily spreads on the hands and dissipates only when all germs have been destroyed.

Alcoholic vapour works against lungs: The heavy alcoholic content in hand sanitisers releases a strong vapour with every use. The alcoholic vapour weakens the lungs’ protective mucous layer that prevents Coronaviruses from entry. In the process, getting infected becomes almost certain.

Stings damaged skin: Due to different reasons such as nature of work or skin problems many have the skin on their hands irritated, grazed, cut, damaged or cracked. Alcohol stings and worsens such a skin and alcohol hand sanitisers can be painful to use. Natural ingredients in sanitisers, such as COV-RID’s, soothes the skin and superb for flared, damaged, cracked or wounded sensitive skin.

Of course not everyone is happy using alcohol-based hand disinfectants due to its harmful nature to certain types of animals as well as religious dictates of some religions.

Clearly, COV-RID antimicrobial foaming hand sanitiser addresses all these problems evident in most hand disinfectants out there.

Managing Coronavirus Concerns with COV-RID Tamper Evident Door Seals

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:05:40 GMT

Preventing Unauthorised re-entry with COV-RID Tamper Evident Door Seals

With covid-19 cases already over 52.3 million globally with over 1.29 million deaths , protecting yourself from the ravaging virus is definitely important. The virus has been found to live on surfaces for a long period of time. For instance, the New England Journal of Medicine indicate that coronavirus can remain alive for 72 hours on plastic surfaces, 48 hours or more on stainless steel, 24 hours on cardboards and around 4 hours on metals such as copper.

Considering the vehicles, buildings, eateries, facilities and institutions we visit on a daily basis and the different surfaces we come across, the fear of contracting the virus and carrying it around is real. It’s even worse when you contemplate interacting with a surface that looks clean or recently cleaned though you cannot tell when it was disinfected for covid-19.

With tamper evident door seal , you can now know or let people discern a specific surface hasn’t been touched or re-exposed to coronavirus since disinfecting and cleaning.

Peace of mind

Every surface we touch or come across is a possible Covid-19 carrier. We’re all concerned about contracting the virus from such areas and ending up a statistic courtesy of one of the hardest pandemics to deal with.

Every person deserves to be around clean facilities, buildings, rooms, surfaces and cars that have been well disinfected. Even so, the main concern is the areas or places recently cleaned and disinfected and whether people have been around them after cleaning.

In a business establishment for instance, it’s quite the task to impress upon a client, consumer or visitor that a specific place has been cleaned and not re-exposed to the virus. To let you know the area is still as clean as it was after disinfecting, the tamper evident door seal comes in handy.

Disinfected and cleaned for your protection

To let people know the point of entry or the surface is still covid-19 free since disinfecting and thorough cleaning, the tamper evident door seal is applied immediately after cleaning with an effective agent such as COV-RID High Level Disinfectant.

With a seal on the entry point bearing the time it was stuck, anyone interacting with the surface will know when the COV-RID fog and disinfectant was applied. The seal also indicates clearly the safest time the room or area can be entered once the disinfecting fog has dissipated and the place thoroughly cleaned and free of the virus.

As people enter the place the tamper evident door seal is removed giving them a peace of mind that the surfaces aren’t only free of Covid-19, but also not yet used by anyone else since disinfecting.

Entry Control

Peace of mind in the age of coronavirus means being alerted about the virus to plan accordingly. With the tamper evident door seal tampered with or removed, anyone will know there have been other people around. In the process, proper precautions can be adopted such as using hand sanitizers after pushing a door and interacting with the entry way or fixing a face mask for better protection.

Door seal for different surfaces

More than any other time in history, people are very concerned about the surfaces around them and how clean and disinfected they are. Tamper evident door seals are meant to reassure them that the entry points have been fogged with an effective disinfectant and flawlessly cleaned.

Even better, apply them on different types of doors, entry points and surfaces in a building with every cleaning. The door seals adhere on surfaces using a unique adhesive that doesn’t leave marks or dregs behind or harm the area in any way.

Tamper seal only after using a quality disinfectant

Note that even with tamper evident door seal without effective, flawless and reliable cleaning and disinfecting you’ll just be giving people false hope. A high rated and recommended thermal fogging choice such as COV-RID High Level Disinfectant remains one of the best ways of disinfecting surfaces before applying a tamper evident door seal.

The fog is dry in makeup and thus applicable in diverse areas including machinery, electronics, public transport, healthcare centers, entertainment and hotels, public parks and buildings, offices and stores, industrial sections, among many others.

Even better, COV-RID High Level Disinfectant has been proven to offer protection against Coronaviruses and tens of other viruses such as Hepatitis B, Herpesviridae, HIV, influenza, measles, rubella, Ebola and Marburg Filoviridae virus, Hepatitis Delta and Hepatitis C viruses, Human T Cell Leukemia Virus, among others.

Tamper evident door seal reassures anyone passing through entryways that the place is clean and disinfected for all these viruses and more.
