Halosil Cleaning Services Disinfection Dry Fogging
Whole Room disinfection:
Long Term Care, Educational Settings, Veterinarian Practices, Dental Practices, Office and Work Spaces, Athletic Settings.
Complete Coverage, No Exceptions
When it comes to coverage, the term “whole room disinfection” can be deceiving. In fact, many whole room disinfection technologies on the market today do not disinfect the whole room at all. The least comprehensive coverage comes from manual disinfection. Even the most thorough manual disinfection is unable to target hard-to-reach pathogens and achieve uniform coverage. This is due to the inherent variation in procedures carried out by humans. While a significant improvement upon manual methods, UV-based whole room disinfection systems are also unable to put the ‘whole’ in whole room disinfection. Because the UV system relies on light to disinfect, shadows, distance and line of site are its Achilles’ heels. The lion’s share of UV technologies require technicians to reposition the system around the room to improve coverage. With room turnover on the line, this is far from ideal. Some may argue that crevices or shadowed areas such as under the bed, beneath the bed rails or in between furniture don’t matter. However, this argument can be thoroughly debunked. Any residual spores or bacteria in these areas are capable of quickly reproducing, and ultimately infecting.
Surface Disinfection, Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt
As new pathogens emerge and spread, and well-known pathogens continue to develop antibiotic resistance, infection prone industries and applications are increasingly charged with upholding a higher standard for whole room disinfection. When selecting a whole room disinfection partner to protect your patients, visitors, staff, and cleaning crews, it is critical to evaluate which solutions can disinfect beyond a shadow of a doubt—and which fall short.
Halosil & HaloMist - A Superior Standard for Whole Room Disinfection
1. It’s more than just hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide has long been used as a bacterial killing agent. The Halosil formula pairs hydrogen peroxide with other proprietary raw materials, effectively converting it into an entirely new material. While basic hydrogen peroxide had limited killing mechanisms, efficacy and stability, Halosil is a multi-mechanistic, highly stable, broad-spectrum disinfection product.
2. It has multiple mechanisms of killing action
The Halosil formula brings together the long-leveraged elements of hydrogen peroxide and ionic silver. Silver on its own is recognized as a broad spectrum biocide. When formulated with the extreme oxidizing potential of hydrogen peroxide, the effectiveness of the solution exceeds the sum of all the parts. The interaction of the silver ions and the hydrogen peroxide creates more reactive oxygen species (ROS) than either of the two active ingredients alone. This intrinsic synergy increases the potency of these two components as a complex mixture with a vast number of killing mechanisms.
3. It has a proprietary stabilization process
The second powerful element of the Halosil formula is its unique stabilization process, which results in a radical fluid architecture that is capable of destroying a broad spectrum of microorganisms—from spores to pathogenic bacteria to viruses and fungi. Halosil’s formula destroys microorganisms by disrupting the cell membrane, binding to the enzymes causing denaturation, and binding to the DNA to stop replication by working synergistically in a chemically stable solution. This stability guarantees a long shelf life of two years, easy handling in the HaloFogger and complete efficacy during application.
4. It’s ‘all in the application’
Halosil’s proprietary formula is applied through a unique dry fogging technology that is EPA-validated to achieve a 6-log kill rate against harmful and highly resistant difficile spores. Spores are the most difficult form of microorganism to kill, according to the hierarchy of microorganisms and their resistance to disinfectants, however, HaloMist is able to do so. It is able to kill emerging viruses like COVID-19, Monkeypox, and many other bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The application of the HaloMist solution by aerosolizing it with the HaloFogger is critical in achieving these results and total coverage. HaloMist evaporates into hydrogen peroxide-based vapor that gets into every nook and cranny of a room without wetting any surfaces. This ensures excellent material compatibility even for sensitive electronics, and does not leave corrosion or toxic residues behind. As a critical element that impacts efficacy, the application technology is as important as the formula itself.
