Technology Update: Elevating Our Standards with Electrostatic Disinfection

As we head into the winter months, the demand for rigorous sanitization in Phoenix workplaces is at an all-time high. At Vaakawi, we are constantly researching and investing in the latest technology to ensure we are providing the safest possible environment for your employees and clients.

In this spirit, we are pleased to announce the addition of Electrostatic Spray Disinfection to our suite of commercial janitorial services.

What is Electrostatic Disinfection?
You may have seen this technology mentioned in the news recently. Unlike traditional "spray and wipe" methods, which can sometimes miss hard-to-reach crevices or undersides of surfaces, electrostatic sprayers use a specialized charging electrode.

As the disinfectant leaves the sprayer, it is given a positive electrical charge. Because most surfaces in your office (desks, keyboards, doorknobs) have a neutral or negative charge, the disinfectant droplets are magnetically attracted to them. The spray literally "wraps around" curved objects, coating the top, sides, and bottom evenly without the need for manual wiping.

Why We Are Implementing This Now
With the flu season upon us and COVID-19 cases rising in Arizona, speed and coverage are critical. This technology allows our Vaakawi teams to:

1. Achieve 360-Degree Coverage: We can effectively disinfect complex objects like mesh office chairs, cubicle walls, and computer peripherals that are difficult to clean manually.
2. Reduce Cross-Contamination: Because it is a touchless application, there is less risk of moving germs from one surface to another.
3. Fast-Track "Return to Office" Prep: For clients planning to bring staff back in January 2021, this provides a comprehensive "baseline" level of sanitation for the entire facility.

Integrated with Your Service Plan
This advanced service is available immediately as an add-on to your regular janitorial contract or as a one-time service for facilities that have had a suspected exposure event.

We are proud to bring this hospital-grade technology to the corporate offices, medical centers, and industrial facilities of Phoenix. It is just another way Vaakawi is innovating to keep our community safe.
