Businesses scrambled to improve their costs and time-effective disinfection and cleaning practices at the pandemic’s start. The increased need to prevent surface transmission of COVID-19 was a huge stressor for many businesses. Owners and managers had to budget for more expensive cleaning supplies and extra cleaning hours for heightened disinfection.
One industry that was left scrambling to meet disinfection and cleaning standards for COVID-19 was the airline industry. Airlines did not have the time or resources for deep disinfection or cleaning between flights to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In response to this issue, many airlines adopted distancing and masking requirements to help stop transmission. But a 2020 article from Aviation Week Network highlighted another option that some airlines used — MicroShield 360.
The MicroShield 360 antimicrobial coating system is a non-toxic semi-permanent coating applied using electrostatic technology. The coating is applied using an electrostatic sprayer, ensuring equal distribution to the treated surface. The treatment is applied in three steps with an initial disinfection and then the antimicrobial coating application. This coating forms microscopic bonds with the treated surface, creating a protective layer. With this layer in place, bacteria, germs, viruses, mold, mildew, and more that land on the surface are microscopically neutralized, and the results last up to one year.
For an airline, the benefits of the Microscopic 360 system were two-fold: they got microscopic, long-lasting disinfection protection and could avoid extensive disinfection processes between flights. The MicroShield 360 application process took only 60 minutes for a mid-sized jet. For many airlines who used MicroShield 360 during this time, it was a no-brainer solution that allowed them to quickly and efficiently offer enhanced protection during a very uncertain time.
While the need for stringent disinfection and cleaning protocols, as we saw in the early days of the pandemic, is no longer a concern for many businesses, effective and affordable cleaning still is. And the MicroShield 360 solution is the answer now, just as it was for airlines and thousands of other industries and customers then. With a MicroShield 360 coating, you don’t have to worry about buying expensive disinfectants for high-touch areas in your business or spend significant time cleaning. Instead, you can use water and a microfiber cloth to remove surface dirt and dust, and trust that the antimicrobial coating hidden on the surface is doing the heavy lifting for you. So, if you’re looking for a faster, more efficient, and cheaper cleaning solution for your business, book a MicroShield 360 treatment today.
