Germs spread fast. Your disinfection routine should keep up!
As temperatures drop and flu season approaches, businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and other shared environments face increased cleaning demands.
With employees, students, customers, and visitors moving through shared spaces every day, maintaining an effective flu season disinfection routine is an important part of supporting a healthier environment.
But here’s the challenge: How do you keep up with increased cleaning demands without sacrificing time, efficiency, or coverage?
That’s where EMist electrostatic spraying technology comes in.
Why Flu Season Disinfection Matters
Influenza viruses primarily spread through respiratory particles released when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or talk. Contaminated surfaces can also contribute to transmission, making routine cleaning and targeted disinfection valuable components of a comprehensive infection prevention strategy.
During flu season, high-traffic environments require extra attention, especially frequently touched surfaces such as:
- Door handles and light switches
- Desks, tables, and countertops
- Shared office equipment
- Restroom fixtures
- Handrails and elevator buttons
- Common areas and breakrooms
Traditional disinfection methods can be labor-intensive, particularly in large facilities with numerous surfaces requiring attention.
An effective flu season disinfection strategy should prioritize consistent coverage, proper disinfectant application, and efficient cleaning procedures.
The solution isn’t necessarily working harder. It’s working smarter.
Electrostatic Technology: A Smarter Approach to Flu Season Disinfection
EMist electrostatic sprayers are designed to improve the efficiency and consistency of disinfectant application.
Unlike conventional trigger sprayers, EMist technology applies an electrostatic charge to liquid droplets as they exit the sprayer.
These charged droplets are attracted to surfaces, helping provide more uniform coverage, including around complex shapes and difficult-to-access areas.
3 Ways EMist Helps Facilities Keep Up
1. Cover More Surfaces in Less Time
Time is valuable, especially when cleaning teams are responsible for large facilities.
EMist electrostatic sprayers help streamline disinfectant application, allowing teams to treat multiple surfaces efficiently without relying exclusively on traditional spray-and-wipe application methods.
2. Reach Areas Traditional Spraying Can Miss
Desks, chairs, equipment, and other frequently used objects often have irregular shapes and difficult-to-reach surfaces.
Electrostatic technology helps charged droplets reach exposed surfaces from multiple angles, supporting more consistent application.
3. Improve Disinfectant Application Efficiency
Using more disinfectant doesn’t automatically mean better results.
EMist technology is designed to distribute disinfectant evenly while helping minimize unnecessary overspray and product waste.
When paired with a compatible, EPA-registered disinfectant and used according to its label instructions, EMist equipment can support an effective flu season disinfection program.
Meet the EMist EX7000 and Epix360
EMist offers two electrostatic spraying solutions designed to meet different facility needs.
EX7000 Backpack Electrostatic Sprayer
Designed for larger facilities and extended application sessions, the EX7000 provides a convenient backpack configuration that helps operators move efficiently throughout their environment.
Ideal applications include:
- Schools and universities
- Healthcare facilities
- Commercial buildings
- Hospitality environments
- Large public spaces
Epix360 Handheld Electrostatic Sprayer
For smaller spaces, targeted applications, and convenient portability, the Epix360 offers electrostatic spraying technology in a compact handheld design.
It’s a practical option for offices, classrooms, shared equipment areas, and other spaces requiring routine disinfection.
Both systems are designed to help facilities incorporate electrostatic spraying into their existing flu season disinfection protocols.
Building an Effective Flu Season Disinfection Routine
An effective disinfection routine starts with preparation.
Facilities should establish consistent cleaning schedules, prioritize frequently touched surfaces, train staff on proper application procedures, and select disinfectants appropriate for their environments.
It’s also important to remember that electrostatic spraying is one component of a broader infection prevention strategy.
Hand hygiene, staying home when sick, improved indoor air quality, and seasonal flu vaccination remain important measures for reducing influenza transmission.
When using EMist equipment, always follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions, including required surface contact times, personal protective equipment, and any restrictions on application methods.
By combining proper procedures with efficient application technology, facilities can strengthen their flu season disinfection practices.
Less Time Spraying. More Confidence in Your Coverage.
Flu season places additional demands on facilities, but your disinfection routine doesn’t have to become more complicated.
With EMist electrostatic spraying technology, cleaning teams can take a more efficient approach to disinfectant application while supporting consistent coverage throughout their facilities.
Whether you’re managing a school, healthcare environment, office building, or commercial property, EMist offers solutions designed to help you keep up with everyday disinfection demands.
Because germs spread fast. Your disinfection routine should keep up.
