When you want to clean your home, the most common products you would get are sanitizers, disinfectants, and strong detergents. What many fail to include are electrostatic foggers and anti-mold sprayers or cold ULV fogging devices that could decrease mycotoxin levels and mold spores in your home. Since these devices could be critical to any home cleaning program, you should know what they could do for you.

Electrostatic Foggers and Cold Mist Sprayers: What Do They Do?

An electrostatic fogger is a dispersion tool  that can reach hard to clean and hidden areas. These tools electrically charge the particles of the solution they are spraying, and when used with our EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate, can create a mist that fills the air and blankets the area with the powerful, yet nontoxic mold-fighting solution.

The positively charged droplets adhere to negatively charged surfaces, which is most surfaces in a home. It can then coat the surface and act to lower mold spores and mycotoxins that are present.

Cold mist foggers and sprayers can do the same thing, but both have their advantages and disadvantages. A fogger can reach higher areas with less disinfectant, but sprayers can be more affordable than a fogger and easier to use.

But as long as you know how to use both, you can use an electrostatic fogger or a sprayer as part of your cleaning process. Additionally, you also need to choose the best solution inside the device when using these tools.

The Effectiveness of Foggers and Sprayers

Foggers and sprayers are very effective for cleaning  homes and facilities, because both tools ensure that any solution used in them is evenly distributed on any surface. Additionally, powerful sprayers can cover large areas in a shorter period of time, and can increase the quality of indoor air.

But how long would the effect of such tools last? It largely depends on the size of the room or area, the location and weather conditions of the house or facility, the level of mold or contamination present, and the effectiveness of the products used. Often, most fogging  solutions could last for a few hours to a few days, depending on the given factors.

The most important factor that affects the duration of an electrostatic spraying is humidity. The higher the humidity, the higher is the likelihood that the electrostatic fogging and spraying will dissipate quickly.

Also, the strength of the product could also affect the length of the effectiveness of the solution. The solubility will affect how long the mist will remain airborne, and the type of the particles will also affect how long they remain so.

For best results, it’s best to maintain a regular cleaning program that uses the electrostatic fogger to ensure that mold spores and mycotoxins are controlled in the air and on surfaces.

Benefits of Using Foggers and Sprayers

Using these tools as part of your cleaning program can give you the following benefits:

Better coverage than traditional dry or wet cleaning processes.

Using a fogger or spray allows you to spread any cleaning solution evenly on any surface. It also allows you to reach hidden areas and hard to reach places.

Uses less solution than using a sponge or wet cleaning process.

A fogger or a sprayer uses less solution than using a sponge or rag, which can save more money in the long run.

Needs less application time.

You can speed up the cleaning process because you cover more areas within a shorter period.
