FAQs

By using electrostatic cleaning, we can treat all surfaces and floors. The solution also treats airborne virus and bacteria as it is sprayed and can also be used on textiles or other normally difficult to treat surfaces like curtains or other soft furnishings.

Electrostatics is the process of adding an electrical charge to the liquid droplets when they are sprayed; think of the static charge you create by rubbing a balloon on your hair and the static effect created. Just like magnets, the solution particles also repel each other and move across a surface and cover the full surface area of the object being treated. This means the droplets of cleaning solution move across the surface of the object being treated and provide a 360o wrapping of the object. Other treatments simply apply a solution to the surface of the object which then runs off before the antibacterial effect of the solution has time to work, or the solution doesn’t find the dark spots of the object so only the face of the object is treated leaving untreated surfaces and dark spots.

Yes, our solutions have been fully tested and are clinically proven to protect against Coronavirus.

We recommend that an electrostatic deep clean is undertaken at least once a month – this is the length of time that surfaces are protected by a deep clean treatment. However, to ensure maximum protection and peace of mind over the course of a month, we recommend TECcare Daily solution be used for daily cleans by your general cleaning contractor or in-house teams. This product is a degreaser and antibacterial general surface cleaning product designed to work in perfect harmony with the deep clean treatment applied. This regular cleaning schedule ensures that members of the public and your teams are always fully protected from any potential surface spread of bacteria and viruses.

Surfaces are protected for up to 28 days after our deep clean solution is applied. There are exceptions to this – for example, if a surface is cleaned after a deep clean with a heavy-duty degreaser, the antibacterial protective layer can be removed. To maximise the long-lasting protection for any surface we recommend that TECcare Daily solution is used for daily cleans. This product is a degreaser and antibacterial general surface cleaning product designed to work in perfect harmony with the deep clean treatment applied.

Our products have been tested on, and are proven to kill, COVID-19, influenza, norovirus, salmonella, Syphilis, HIV, SARS, Avian influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, E.Coli, listeria, bird flu, scarlett fever, hand foot and mouth, clostridium perfringens, pseudomonas aeruginosa and many, many more. Please ask for our technical specs for further info on what bugs and nasties our treatments kill and protect you from.

In terms of the solution we use, it kills 99.99% of virus and bacteria just the same as Dettol however an ElectroClean deep clean is hugely different in terms of the coverage and lasting protection it provides.

Firstly, our solutions use 360o electrostatic wrapping technology which means that when the cleaning solution hits a 3D surface, the electrically charged particles move across the surface of the object to cover every aspect of that object (top, bottom and sides). This means there are no cleaning dark spots and all surfaces are treated easily and quickly. This level of coverage would be almost impossible for a cleaner to replicate without using the Electrostatic technology we use or many, many hours of elbow grease.

The areas and surfaces we can treat in a short space of time are hugely different to a traditional clean. We treat all touchpoints across a large area (up to 500m an hour). This would take a traditional cleaner hour’s, if not days to provide the same level of coverage. Typically, we can cover 10X the floor area of a traditional cleaner each hour.

A final key point is when a cleaner applies Dettol to a surface, they wipe it away instantly, meaning that although the disinfectant should technically kill 99% of bacteria, the solution cannot take full effect or protect after it has been applied. This is not the case with electrostatic cleaning, our solutions are not wiped, they are left to dry and leave a protective antibacterial layer on the surface which will protect that surface for up to 30 days after treatment from all virus and bacteria.

Yes, all equipment and cleaning solutions are fully certified and tested through clinical trials and adhere to numerous ISO and EU regulations. We have a separate technical specification document which we can send with details of all the certifications, testing and proofs of what the technologies we use can do in terms of deep cleaning power.

We have seen prices for deep cleans ranging from £1 a sq/m to £3 a sq/m but ElectroClean feel this is way too high in 95% of cases. The price of a deep clean should be reflective of the time, equipment and solutions used as these are the biggest costs involved in the service.

With ElectroClean, the time savings are huge compared to other more traditional deep cleans but the equipment costs and solutions are far more expensive; however, this doesn’t mean our prices are higher compared to other services – they are actually lower.

As an example, we have a contract in place with a group of nurseries which have 3 properties of around 300sq/m in size each. This work takes our team approximately one hour to perform a full antibacterial deep clean of all touch points and surfaces in the buildings. The cost for each property in this case on a 12-month contract for a monthly clean is just £150 + VAT, which works out at just £0.50 sq/m, making it half the price compared to other services.

When ElectroClean price work we survey how long the work will take, the complexity of the area being treated and the volume of solutions we will need – we then base your price on these factors.

What we have seen is our prices for the same level of sanitisation compared to other options make our service significantly cheaper with the main factor being how much quicker we can perform the deep cleans using the electrostatic technology. The knock-on benefit to you as a customer of our lower price and speed of service is not only the reduced cost but also the shorter down time for your facilities. For example, you can use a treated area almost immediately after we have completed the deep clean, which is a huge added benefit compared to other deep cleaning options.

This can depend on how big and complex the space we are treating is. Typically, one operative treats between 200 and 500 sq/m per hour.
