Have you ever walked by an oscillating water sprinkler on someone’s lawn? If you want to avoid getting wet, you have to stop and wait for the sprinkler to turn back the other way, so you can book it across the sidewalk and avoid a mid-day shower.
But what about when someone sneezes next to you? Sometimes you can see the scrunched nose, the sniffing, the closed eyes, and the sudden intake of breath before the big explosion.
Maybe you can jump out of the way before you get sprayed. You might think that, just like with the sprinkler, you’ve successfully avoided a germ-filled shower. But guess what? You’re mistaken. One little sneeze can spread germs a lot faster than you think. At the University of Bristol, researchers discovered that an average sneeze could spread nearly 100,000 germs through the air at nearly 100 miles an hour.
Most of us are surrounded by more germs and bacteria than we’re probably comfortable knowing about. Bacteria is everywhere, and especially on the things we touch. Cold germs, flu viruses, and various other microorganisms can last on surfaces for longer than you think. Some can even last for hours or days, depending on the type of surface.
Everything you touch is covered in something. It’s inevitable. All it can take is one sneeze on a shared touchpoint, and everyone can catch a cold. Regular cleaning and disinfecting is the only way to remove harmful bacteria from the surfaces around us. As we fight COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to practice diligent cleaning and disinfecting.
One tool that you can use to help protect yourself and your business is the MicroShield 360 system. Unlike standard disinfecting solutions that only last when applied, the MicroShield 360 system offers lasting protection between cleanings. Using electrostatic spray technology, the solution is evenly distributed. Once the solution touches the surface of an object, it forms a cohesive bond with it. This coating prevents bacterial growth between cleanings. The MicroShield 360 system has been tested to prevent 100+ pathogens from living on a treated surface. Plus, the results last up to one year.
You can’t always avoid an incoming sneeze or cough, and you also can’t spend all your time cleaning and disinfecting. If you want lasting protection that prevents bacterial growth between cleanings, choose the MicroShield 360 system. It provides lasting protection against the bacteria that linger on surfaces and makes us sick. Call us to schedule your treatment today.
