No, you do not need to sign a contract for service. You can hire SOS as often or as seldom as you wish. SOS does offer discounts for ongoing scheduled services.

No, someone does not need to be present during the sanitizing process; however, you may certainly do so if you prefer. Many businesses will have us disinfect after hours and provide us a key or a combination to a lock box for entry. The choice is completely yours and we will make accomodations accordingly.

No, our disinfectant does not require rinsing or wiping after application.

That depends entirely on your occupancy. For instance, some workplaces, such as medical facilities, schools, and gyms, are exposed to many potential pathogens on a daily basis, and benefit from daily electrostatic cleaning. Others, such as closed offices, may only need to be electrostatically disinfected once a week or bi-monthly. For private residences, electrostatic cleaning may only need to be done occasionally or immediately after an occupant has been infected by a virus or bacteria.

When it comes to sanitizing services, costs can vary $0.16 to $0.60 cents per sq ft depending on size of area being treated and frequency.

No. Fogging systems and misters deliver very small droplets that passively deposit on surfaces based on the direction of spray and the effect of gravity, which may result in uneven coverage. With electrostatic spraying, the disinfectant is electrically charged, producing a 3-D wrapping effect that provides 360 degree converage.

Electrostatic sprayers use positive and negative charges to make disinfectants electromagnetically stick to targeted surfaces. For example, no matter which angle you disinfect a surface from, the charge created by the electrostatic sprayer makes the disinfectant wrap around and cling to the entire surface. This results in a uniform coating of disinfectant on sprayed objects, including hard-to-reach areas that manual cleaning can miss. The technology also helps avoid liquid pooling often associated with trigger sprayers.

Because using electrostatic technology makes it easier to get the disinfectant particles to adhere around objects, providing 360 degree coverage. Touchless Application - there is no need to touch or wipe the surfaces Reduces Cross Contamination - considerably reduces contamination by using touchless sprayer Liquid Adhesion & Coverage - particles hold their charge for approx. 2-3 seconds to prevent drips Electrostatic Wrapping-enables the disinfectant to wrap around all surfaces Eco Friendly-electrostatic sprayers uses up to 65% less product per square foot.

The process is relatively quick but depends soley on your type of business or occupancy. The square footage of your business or home will dictate application times.

Absolutely! Please call us at 720-629-8057 or send us a message here and we will send you the Safety Data Sheet.

When used as a cleaning agent, bleach remains on surfaces and continues to emit fumes. Recent studies have revealed that children who have had exposure to bleach in their homes are more likely to suffer from respiratory illness. Various studies have also linked the use of bleach in a household to a higher prevalence of asthma and allergies. Bleach Interacts With Other Household Chemicals (interactions with other commonly used chemicals can produce harmful reactions. When bleach comes in contact with ammonia or vinegar it can react to form chlorine gas, which causes cellular damage in the nasal passageways and lungs.) Bleach Has Harmful Effects on Your Body (inhaling bleach causes damage to your lungs and organs. After accidentally inhaling the fumes, some individuals have reported feeling stinging in their nose and eyes, coughing, and lightheadedness, all of which are symptoms that indicate the corrosive properties of the substance. Additionally, chlorine-based bleach can damage your skin and eyes.)

Made in the U.S.A.

Yes. Our disinfectant can be safely used around all electronics such as laptops, monitors and keyboards.

Surfaces will remain wet for 5 minutes for virus inactivation and 10 minutes for bacteria disinfection. Surfaces can be used immediately after.

Electrostatic disinfection does not create a protective barrier. It disinfects, or kills, unwanted pathogens from every targeted surface, but won’t protect those surfaces from becoming infected again. That being said, institutions like medical facilities, schools and gyms may require electrostatic disinfection more frequently because they are introduced to new, potentially harmful pathogens on a daily basis.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. Source: World Health Organization (WHO)

The virus that causes COVID-19 most commonly spreads between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet, or 2 arm lengths). It spreads through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Droplets can also land on surfaces and objects and be transferred by touch. A person may get COVID-19 by touching the surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. It is possible that COVID-19 may spread through the droplets and airborne particles that are formed when a person who has COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes). In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19: Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea This list does not include all possible symptoms.

Wash your hands often- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid close contact- Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household. Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus. Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others- You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick. The mask is meant to protect other people in case you are infected. Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Masks should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance. Do NOT use a mask meant for a healthcare worker. Currently, surgical masks and N95 respirators are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders. Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The mask is not a substitute for social distancing. Cover coughs and sneezes- Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks. If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection. Then, use a household disinfectant. Monitor Your Health Daily- Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19 (especially important if you are running essential errands, going into the office or workplace, and in settings where it may be difficult to keep a physical distance of 6 feet). Take your temperature if symptoms develop (don’t take your temperature within 30 minutes of exercising or after taking medications that could lower your temperature, like acetaminophen). Follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
