Is electrostatic disinfection effective for offices?
Electrostatic disinfection applies an electrically charged disinfectant mist that wraps around surfaces for more even coverage than manual wiping, making it effective for disinfecting high-touch areas such as desks, door handles, and shared equipment. It is typically used as a targeted add-on to regular office cleaning, not a replacement for it. The Cleaning Concierge offers disinfection service for offices across San Diego County.
The electrostatic charge causes the disinfectant droplets to be attracted to and wrap around surfaces, including undersides and irregular shapes, that manual spray-and-wipe cleaning can miss.
This method is commonly used for high-touch surfaces such as desks, keyboards, door handles, light switches, and shared conference room equipment.
Electrostatic disinfection works best as a scheduled add-on during flu season, after an illness has been reported in the office, or as part of a heightened cleaning protocol, alongside, not instead of, regular janitorial service.
