7 Things to Look for In a Commercial Grade Disinfectant Cleaner

Not all commercial grade disinfectant cleaners are made equally. There are many features that a commercial-grade disinfectant cleaner needs to have to ensure the disinfectant reaches every surface reliably.

Having a quality cleaner is especially important during the current COVID-19 crises. A reliable cleaner can disinfect hospitals, nursing homes, daycares, and other care facilities and reduce infection risk.

So what does a commercial grade disinfectant cleaner need to have to disinfect a large area safely?

Continue reading below to find out the 7 things you need to look for to get the most of a commercial-grade disinfectant cleaner.

7. Economical Foggers

Why use more disinfectant than you need to? An excellent commercial grade disinfectant cleaner will always use much less product when compared with a conventional sprayer.

Conventional sprays or using a towel to wipe down disinfectant is hugely inefficient. However, commercial disinfectant foggers aren’t always the most economical, and some foggers quickly run through disinfectant.

When searching for a commercial disinfectant fogger, be sure that it uses at least 0.05 GPM, like the PS 4/7 BP Mister.

6. Large Capacity

When disinfecting a large area like a hospital, it’s essential to have a large capacity to avoid constant refilling. A large fogger or mister should have at least a 10-liter capacity (about 2.5 gallons).

5. Ergonomic

A vital characteristic to consider when choosing a commercial disinfectant cleaner is how ergonomic it is. Maneuvering tight corridors and small rooms are tricky with a large and unwieldy cleaner.

Products like the Cobalt Electric Atomizer Fogger are mounted like a backpack and are fully electric, so there’s no need for plugging in.

4. Large Range

Imagine standing in a large room inside a nursing home or daycare and slowly moving around the place to spray every surface. Now think of something like a gym or an office with large spaces.

It would take a lot of time and energy to get close enough and spray down each part of a room. The good news is that many high-quality commercial grade disinfectant cleaners have a long-range.

Commercial disinfectant foggers can have a spray range of 3 meters (10 feet) and even higher. That means you can stand at a distance and cover all surfaces without needing to get up close and personal.

3. Easy Operation

There’s no need to get a commercial grade disinfectant cleaner that’s a complicated mess to set up and use.

For instance, the Cobalt Electric Atomizer Fogger has the on/off switch located on the nozzle and a flow control knob. Simply fill up the tank with disinfectant, make sure the battery is charged, and you’re ready to go.

2. Great Atomizer

Usually, commercial disinfectant foggers or “misters” are used because they are guaranteed to cover any surface quickly and easily. They do such quick work because they use pressure to create a fine mist.

That fine mist is composed of almost microscopic droplets with a diameter smaller than a strand of hair. Always be on the lookout for a fogger that atomizes at least down to 50 microns and less.

1. Uses Vital Oxide Disinfectant

The most important thing to look out for when buying a commercial grade disinfectant cleaner is what type of disinfectant it uses. The cleaner is only as good as the disinfectant that it’s used with it.

Unlike other disinfectants, Vital Oxide is safe to use anywhere. It’s an odorless and colorless liquid that’s so mild you won’t need to wear personal protection equipment (PPE).

It’s safe on skin and doesn’t cause lung irritation but is powerful enough to destroy a wide range of viruses, bacteria, and mold.

Don’t put any patient’s or client’s health in jeopardy by using a dangerous disinfectant. Vital Oxide can be used in many commercial-grade disinfectant cleaners and will leave every surface entirely disinfected.
