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.

Consumers do not question that the cars, rooms and facilities they are entering have been cleaned and disinfected to the standard that you tell them. However, they are very concerned that the 'cleaned' area they are entering could have had human interaction in it since the cleaning of the area had occurred. It is very hard for you to prove to your consumers that the area has not had human interaction in it since cleaning and the area has not been re-exposed to COVID. The COV-RID Tamper Evident Door Seal has been specifically developed to take away these consumer concerns.
